Seventeen staff and students from the Department of Education and Social Welfare at Kansai University of International Studies, a Japanese sister university of ours, visited NTCU between March 4th and March 6th. To learn more about the current status of elementary education in Taiwan, the delegates also visited our Affiliated Elementary School and Wan-feng Elementary School in Nantou County. After the elementary school visits, they shared their classroom observation with our teachers and students of the Department of Education in a seminar. Their visit was indeed a fruitful and meaningful cross-cultural activity. (translated by Hui-Yi Hung, Office of International Affairs and Research Development)
