Project narrative

On December 11, 2007, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and University of New South Wales signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at the University of New South Wales. 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. In 2007, the University of New South Wales and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Shanghai Jiao Tong 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 July 30, 2009. The Confucius Institute at the University of New South Wales oversaw the following two Confucius Classrooms: - ID# 94121: Rosebank College - ID# 94122: Ravenswood School for Girls
