Canadian Public Schools Refuse to Cut Ties as Media Exposes Funding for Computers from Confucius Institute
The Confucius Institute in Canada has been revealed to have provided local public schools with undisclosed funding for laptops and other resources. Upon enquiry, a number of higher institutions and school districts in Canada said they were not intending to make any change to their partnership with the institute for the time being. They stressed that the institute’s activities were limited to promoting traditional Chinese culture and language education and that they had not received any benefits from the institute.
According to a report by Canada’s Global and Mail, a number of primary and secondary schools in the Coquitlam School District in Vancouver were offered funding by the Confucius Institute for such resources as laptops on the condition that they provide Mandarin courses. The institute would have to submit evaluations of its reception in the local community to its headquarters in China. The report raised questions as to whether this is still an academic activity.
