Xiehe education鈥檚 exploration of 鈥楨ast meets West鈥
Print Edition
An architect of the 鈥淓ast meets West鈥 style of leadership and team teaching, Xiehe has established a diverse range of educational institutions, cultivating students to be global citizens. After 22 years of exploration and practice, the Xiehe schooling pathways have become more and more multi-cultural, balanced, mixed and creative.
Recently, Lu Huiwen, general principal of Xiehe Education Group, shared her 20 years鈥 experiences of 鈥淓ast meets West,鈥 and pointed out some common misconceptions.
1. Xiehe Education is now in the final stage, after much cooperation and collaboration, and both sides, East and West, have reached the goal of integration, and have now formed an authentic 鈥淓ast meets West鈥 system.
2. Shanghai United International School has local streams and international streams. SUIS offers not only the local curriculum in a local stream, but has developed its own mixed program, welcomed by parents.
3. Xiehe鈥檚 teacher group is a cross-cultural team. For example, one of its campuses has about 200 staff memebers, with 60 to 70 foreign teachers among them. The Chinese teachers are good at whole class teaching and competitive teaching. However, the foreign teachers are used to teaching in a team in order to stimulate students鈥 interest in learning. Cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary learning is the best way to be creative.
4. It is inevitable that we will meet conflicts and contradictions in the eastern and Western education fields. For example, many Asian parents complain about students not having enough homework, while European parents will think that the homework is too much for their children. Therefore, the school separates homework into compulsory and elective ones, and families can choose how much homework the students do.
5. International education does not equal Western education. International education is actually a global concept, and includes Chinese elements. Many parents have a misunderstanding 鈥 they believe that their children must go abroad if they cannot 鈥渟urvive鈥 in the local education system. But we have observed students who have good scores and learning habits do well in a local or international education system. For those students who are weak in language or learning ability, we need to give them more guidance. In terms of those students who have competitive preferences, we suggest that the Chinese traditional education way is more fitting. However, for most other students, the more different experiences they get in the different curricula will give them greater learning confidence and more interests. Only when their inner drive is stimulated will they have a great future.
Whether a Chinese or international education, the main purpose is to cultivate students and to help them grow, only using different methods to match the different needs of each and every student.
