2008 US-China Summit on Education
The first North Carolina Summit on US/China K-12 Education was held at the Friday Institute in May 2008 to enable educators, policy makers, and business leaders to learn why US/China collaborations are important for creating a globally educated citizenry and work force. National speakers addressed the value of US/China K-12 partnerships and described effective policies and programs that support global learning. North Carolina educators described current collaborations and partnerships, shared best practices, and offered opportunities to establish new partnerships with Chinese educators. A highlight of the day was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the NC Board of Education and the Jiangsu provincial department of education.

Since the 2008 Summit, North Carolina has organized similar conferences every two years. On September 6, 2012, we will again come together to see how educational relationships between North Carolina and China have progressed, and to plan for further development of our relationships in the years to come.
