Meanwhile in New Zealand
MP Urges Schools To Teach Chinese.
Quotes from the article.
"...schools need to "look to the future" and offer courses in Chinese as a way of boosting trade with China..."
"It is out of step that Nelson, with such a strong exporting and visitor industry, is not looking to the future and investing in Chinese language skills,"
"The economic benefit is that it [promotes] creativity and problem-solving. All those brain features are massively advantaged if you've learnt a second language."
"We have tried to promote the language and the culture through initiatives with the Confucius Society. The benefits and potential opportunities seem obvious, but parents and students seem reluctant to embrace the language."
"If we could encourage 20 students, even across a range of year levels, we would run the programme tomorrow."
