Witnessing educational progress in Guangdong

I returned to the campus through the 1990's. Those visits illustrated rapid evolution in the way education was being delivered. In 1997 a new teaching building had opened. 12 floors high, at that time the tallest school in China - the atrium feeling more like a hotel than a school. High-tech innovations abounded - from digital library cards to computerised lesson delivery facilities. Students had extensive opportunities to practice with the latest in personal computers Blackboards were replaced by whiteboards. Mini-studios allowed filming of mock-up lessons. Language labs provided for more thorough oral practice compared to whole-class teaching. An increasingly interactive approach was being followed within the classrooms. Teachers themselves were having to go back to school!
