The foreign ministry says it plans to recruit more professional teachers to teach the Chinese language overseas. The ministry told the media Thursday that it will open up more opportunities for teaching Chinese language in countries such as Sao Tome and Principe and Saudi Arabia.
Since 2014, 16 Chinese instructors with the foreign ministry have been assigned to teach in 12 countries. These include diplomatic allies Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Paraguay.
The foreign ministry says these countries have recognized the teaching quality and the effectiveness of Taiwan’s Chinese language teachers.
