Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On November 12, 2008, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Presbyterian College signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Presbyterian 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 2008, Presbyterian College and Guizhou University (贵州大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Guizhou 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 November 6, 2009. The Confucius Institute closed in 2022.
