Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On December 16, 2019, Palestine’s first Confucius Institute was inaugurated at the Al-Quds University in Jerusalem. Jiangxi Normal University is the partner university for this Confucius Institute. In addition to offering Chinese language teaching and providing Chinese language resources, the Confucius Institute in Palestine is authorized to hold the HSK examination (Chinese Proficiency Test) for Palestinian students who wish to pursue their studies in China, as well as tests for the certification of the Chinese language teachers. Discussions over the establishment of a Confucius Institute in Palestine began in October 2013 at the Birzeit University in Palestine. An agreement for its establishment at Al-Quds University was signed in 2018.
