Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

The Confucius Classroom at Eckington School was established in 2013. The Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) awarded the Confucius Classroom status in recognition of the school's achievements in Chinese language and culture education, providing Eckington School with a grant. The Confucius Classroom was running before it was officially opened, having begun operations on October 26, 2012. The original Confucius Institute project is tracked under Record ID#44304.

Staff comments

1. AidData has coded Nanjing University and Beijing Language and Culture University as the implementing agencies because both universities are the Chinese partner institutions for the Confucius Institute at the University of Sheffield, which oversees this Confucius Classroom. 2. The Chinese name of the school is 埃金顿学校.
