Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2014, Hanban provided an unknown amount of funding to the Confucius Institute for Scotland’s Schools (CISS) to support its programming, including the funding of CISS "hub classrooms." Each of these classrooms, located in primary and secondary schools throughout Scotland, hosts at least one visiting teacher from their partner schools in Tianjin to facilitate the teaching of Chinese language and culture. In 2014, up to 50% of the cost of one GTC registered teacher of Chinese per hub was reimbursed by CISS.

Staff comments

1. The Confucius Institute for Scotland’s Schools (CISS) is the first government initiated Confucius Institute in the UK, jointly established by the University of Strathclyde, Scotland’s National Centre for Languages, and the Tianjin Municipal Education Commission. 2. AidData assumes that Confucius Classroom Hubs do not receive funding directly from the Scottish Government or the Chinese Government. Instead, funds are disbursed through CISS.
