Staff comments

1. The precise establishment date of this Confucius Classroom is unknown. Thus, for the time being, AidData has coded the commitment_year field as 2020 because it was listed on the Confucius Institute in Edmonton website as the 22nd Confucius Classroom to be established; and marked the committment_year_estimated? field as True. This issue merits further investigation. 2. AidData has coded Shandong Provincial Education Department as the implementing agency because Shandong Provincial Education Department is the Chinese partner institution for the Confucius Institute in Edmonton, which oversees this Confucius Classroom
