The first of 86 young teachers have traveled all the way from the United Kingdom to China on a one-year cultural exchange program.
After a three-month localized career training at the Shanghai University, they will be dispatched to several big cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and give English language lessons.
About 20 teachers will stay here to serve in local universities, primary and high schools during the year.
The year-long event is part of the overall Sino-UK teachers' exchange program. A strict incubation project in the UK ensures that it brought here only the choice ones.
