| British consultancy support helps world's largest education project The Chinese Ministry of Education and Britain's Department for International Development (DFID) have launched one of the world's largest education projects – the £27 million Southwest Basic Education Project (SBEP) aimed at improving education for more than 1.6m children – especially girls - in 27 of China's poorest counties in four of the poorest provinces: Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan. Two British consultancy organisations – Cambridge Education (part of the Mott MacDonald group) and the British Council – are providing support through a team of British and Chinese experts. The Southwest Basic Education project will aim to increase enrolment in poor minority areas and improve teaching and management quality in some of the remotest schools in the country. Altogether the project will cover more than 8,000 schools and over 77,000 teachers. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
