Project narrative

On June 6, 2012, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the University of Strathclyde's Scotland's National Centre for Languages (SCILT) signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute for Scotland’s Schools. On that day, an unveiling ceremony was also held to inaugurate the institute, officially establishing it. The institute was created to replace the Learning and Teaching Scotland Confucius Institute, which had stopped operating in March 2012. The first institute is tracked separately under Record ID#89900. The institute was established in cooperation with the Tianjin Municipal Education Commission. As of 2019, the institute hosts 44 Confucius Classrooms, opening 35 of them since 2012. In 2017, it was awarded the status of Model Confucius Institute, bringing more funding and resources from Hanban. This project is separately tracked under ID#90186.
