It is the first time that Chinese program has been introduced to north area of the province, which indicates a bright future of Chinese teaching. On March 12th, Chinese volunteer teacher Bai Qian and Kung Fu teacher Guan Yuqi arrived in Bathurst. A local school posted the two Chinese teachers’ pictures on the school’s Facebook page and expressed warm welcome and great expectations for Chinese course from all the teachers as well as students. This is the first time for Bathurst to cooperate with CINB and have Chinese course. Until now, four local schools have initiated Chinese course, including Chinese language, culture and Kung Fu.
