Registration for the Chinese teacher training "Expert Tour Group" of the Overseas Chinese Education Office of the State Council has begun

The "Overseas Chinese Education Famous Teacher Tour Group" Chinese teacher training event sponsored by the China Overseas Exchange Association and the China Chinese Education Foundation and hosted by the National Association of Chinese Schools will be held in Arizona. There will be one-day training lectures in Tucson and Phoenix on August 10th and 11th.

The principals above have issued a notice requiring all Chinese teachers in the school to participate in this training; the heads of other schools in the region have also forwarded the training news to the teachers.
