Lego helps to build innovative learning

The Ministry of Education is stepping up efforts to improve the innovative ability of Chinese teachers and students by cooperating with Denmark's Lego Education Group.

The two parties reached an agreement in Beijing recently to continue bilateral cooperation and promote a second Innovative Talent Development Program in China.

Under the agreement, Lego Education will provide products manufactured by Lego Group, such as the popular toy building blocks and robotics equipment, to schools selected by the ministry, from 2015 to 2019, to enable Chinese students to "learn by playing".
