Would your staff like to learn more about teaching methods and the education system in China?

Opportunity Education facilitates research trips to China for Headteachers and SLT members, to organise bespoke development trips to our partner schools. These trips are typically for one week, and involve visiting multiple schools in a given Chinese city, meetings with Senior Management, and classroom observation, as well as exploring more of China and its attractions. The logistics of the visit are managed by Opportunity Education, and one of our staff supervises the programme.

By developing teachers’ expertise in inter-cultural and global awareness, they will be able to understand, create and support, effective international collaborations. If teachers are interested in spending a longer period of time teaching in other countries and selected partner schools, excellent opportunities are listed with Opportunity Education’s partner company: Opportunity China.
