An Expat Educator in Asia

The timing seems right to link up Aussie and Chinese schools with both Hong Kong and Aussie schools getting IT specific handouts next year.

I have to say the Hong Kong model at least seems more consultative than the Aussie one. This article makes it sound like the government is keen to throw the money at the schools, especially those that  are probably in the least likely position to use it wisely. The EDB of Hong Kong on the other hand have at least released a consultation document.

Let’s hope that both governments take the very novel approach of listening to educators at the chalk-face!
