Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2006, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and North Carolina State University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at North Carolina State University. 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 2007, North Carolina State University and Nanjing Normal University (南京师范大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Nanjing Normal 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 23, 2007. The Confucius Institute closed in June 2019. The Confucius Institute at North Carolina State University oversaw the following 6 Confucius Classrooms - ID#104032: North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics - ID#104033: Concord High School - ID#104034: Central Carolina Community College - ID#104035: Wake Technical Community College - ID#104036: Saint Augustine's College - ID#104037: Enloe High School

Staff comments

1. The Chinese name of the Confucius Institute is 北卡罗莱纳州立大学孔子学院. 2. The precise establishment date of this Confucius Institute is unknown. For the time being, AidData has coded the commitment_year field as 2006 as this was the year this Confucius Institute was established and marked the committment_year_estimated? field as True. This issue merits further investigation.
