The Confucius Institute Headquarters and India’s Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) have agreed to promote Chinese language training in India, reported Xinhua. Xu Lin, a top official, said the move will strengthen economic and education-related ties between the two countries.
According to an agreement signed between the Confucius Institute Headquarters and CBSE Friday, both sides have agreed to increase exchanges of language teachers and students, with an agreement to help Indian schools develop Chinese curriculum and textbooks.
An Indian delegation paid a visit to the Confucius Institute Headquarters in October 2011, prior to the signing of the agreement. The authorities promised to help train 300 Indian language teachers and offer 100 scholarships annually for Chinese language learners from India. The headquarters also promised to establish an inter school communication mechanism regarding language teaching between Chinese and Indian schools.
The CBSE has added Chinese a foreign language subject for middle school students in 500 schools in April. It plans to gradually promote the study of Chinese in 11,500 middle schools.
