“In 2004, the governments of China and Hungary built a bilingual school together, a unique full-time school that teaches Chinese and local languages in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In the beginning, the bilingual school only had four grades with 87 students. Following the historic opportunities of Hungary’s “Opening to the East” policy and China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the school just established a senior high department this September to meet local demand for learning Chinese. Currently, the school has nine grades and more than 390 students, with two thirds of them being local and one third Chinese.”(more)
