On September 10th 2014, Kunming Government Panlong District held its annual award ceremony for excellent schools and excellent teachers. All the winners received the awards because they made special contribution to the education field and have a steady progress in the teaching quality. In this year’s award list, there are only five private non-degree schools while Keats School is the only school offering Mandarin Chinese courses to foreign students.

At the award ceremony, the education department head of the Panlong district gave a speech to all award winners and passed his sincere wishes for their future career. After the ceremony, the officer Ms. Lu from the language education sector had a private talk with us. She mentioned that Keats School impressed her most because of the special teaching methods developed by Keats School and its distinctive advantages compared to the universities. When Ms. Lu came to check Keats School’s operation, she surprisingly found that a lot of Keats students could talk to her in Chinese freely while the students in the other schools can’t even they have learned Chinese for many years. She encouraged us to continue working hard in finding the most efficient teaching methods for the students to learn Chinese.

The teaching supervisor of Keats School Ms. Margie Ma received an award of “Excellent Teacher of the Year”. After two years of intensive research in the HSK, Margie has built a strong and scientific system for students to pass the HSK test. So far, many students have passed the HSK 3, 4, and 5 with high scores using the system Margie developed. Margie mentioned in her acceptance speech that she is grateful to have a platform like Keats School to show her talent and help her students. She hopes to help the school move forward with more achievements in the HSK test.

The awards that Keats School received this year made us more confident in the area of teaching Chinese language and the culture. As China develops so fast with so many business/working opportunities, being able to speak Chinese has become a must-have skill. Keats School is devoted to helping you learn Chinese fast and efficient in the shortest possible time. If you want to learn Chinese in China , we are always here in Kunming welcoming you to join us.
