UK looks to learn from Chinese education

ON TUESDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF THE 2017 LONDON BOOK FAIR, the UK publisher Harper Collins Publishing signed a contract to translate and publish the math textbooks of Shanghai Century Publishing Group used in Shanghai primary schools. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

The news reminds us of the 2015 BBC program Are our kids tough enough? The documentary followed the fortunes of five Chinese teachers using Chinese teaching methods on a trial basis in a UK middle school.

It seems the United Kingdom and many parts of the Western world are interested in Chinese teaching methods.
