CityU Macau conducts short-term training programme for Jiangsu outstanding primary and secondary school teachers
Under the collaboration of the International Training and Testing Center (ITTC) of the City University of Macau (CityU Macau) and Jiangsu Education Services for International Exchange (JESIE), a short-term training programme dedicated to a group of outstanding primary and secondary school teachers from Jiangsu Province was conducted at the CityU Macau campus.
Planned and organised by the teaching crew of CityU Macau, the training programme was divided into two seven-day courses, focusing on curriculum reform and education informatization, building school leadership, and enhancing key qualities for core teachers in primary and secondary schools.
Prof Jun Liu, Rector of CityU Macau, extended a warm welcome to the group. He said that the ITTC shoulders its responsibility to actively collaborate with the community, enterprises, schools and public sectors. “The short-term training programme has far-reaching significance,” Rector Liu said when recalling the friendly cooperation between CityU Macau and JESIE in the past. He said that this programme would strengthen exchanges between Jiangsu Province and Macao in education, foster closer collaboration between the two places in talents cultivation, and help the University promote “Loving the Country, Loving Macao” patriotism education.
Rector Liu said that CityU Macau is committed to becoming a metropolitan university with Macao Characteristics, China Soul and Global Vision. The short-term programme helped CityU Macau deepen its understanding of education practices in mainland China.
Director Yang Yuanming of SIP Teacher Development, vice president Feng Weidong of Nantong Teacher Development Academy, vice-principal Zhao Hui of Nanjing YuHua Experimental Primary School, vice-principal Li Chungang of Zhenjiang Experimental School were among the participants to deliver a remark. They thanked CityU Macau and JESIE for their thoughtful arrangements and acknowledged the training programme had given them an overview of Macao's education practices.
In their remarks, they hoped that the study outcome of this programme would be applied to their teaching work, promote teachers' self-cultivation and improvement, and continuously facilitate education standards in both places.
In two weeks, CityU Macau welcomed over 100 primary and secondary school teachers from Jiangsu Province. The group took campus tours to view the teaching environments and facilities. The teachers also conducted field visits to the city’s heritage sites and local schools, namely Pui Ching Middle School and Pooi To Middle School.
