UCA Officials Discuss Teacher Training in China

Representatives from the University of Central ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ, ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ Department of Education and ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ public schools took part in an education forum on teacher training issues in China.

The “Xingzhi Education Forum,” held recently in Hangzhou City, China, was initiated by Zhejiang International Studies University and University of Central ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ, in conjunction with Department of Education of Zhejian Province and the state of ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ.

More than 50 scholars and school administrators in Zhejiang province attended the forum.

Dr. Diana Pounder, dean of the UCA College of Education, and faculty and staff from the College of Education and the ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ Department of Education made presentations about teacher training in ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ.

UCA President Allen Meadors discussed the possibility of UCA providing training for teachers and principals in Zhejiang province in the future. More international training programs would enhance the university, Meadors said.

“It is also a good idea to help school districts with more international partners and exposure via UCA training programs,” he added. “To build a better international learning environment for the state of ÒùÐÔÊÓÆµ is always a priority for UCA.”
