Hanban provides a grant for the establishment of Confucius Institute at Cheju Halla College

Project narrative

In 2009, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Cheju Halla College signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Cheju Halla College. As part of the agreement, Hanban is obligated to provide teaching materials, an annual fund, and numbers of Chinese instructors. The funds are dispersed through a local Bank of China account or other approved bank account created by the institute. The agreement has a 5-year validity and automatically renews at the end of every 5-year term. In 2009, Cheju Halla College and Nankai University (南开大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Nankai University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established on April 4, 2009.
