Expats
Unite for Education
_
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
.On one hot summer day in
Shanghai in 2004, a former American professor was saying to his wife
how much he missed teaching English literature classes to his adult
students back in the U.S., and how much he would love to do
something like that here. But, after conducting some research, he
found that there was simply no place to do it. China had no adult education courses
where expats could take part-time classes in English. At that point,
he approached some universities with the idea, formed some partnerships,
and began offering a variety of Western-education programs here in
Shanghai. Before long however, it became apparent that he and his "partners" did not share a
common vision for providing quality education at an affordable
price. And, as operating the classes in cooperation with the big-brand
schools became more-and-more difficult, he decided, with the
support of the teachers, the students, and his local community
center, to form a new expat learning center apart from the major
universities, and that is how the Expat Learning Center was born.
