Workshop focuses on vocational learning in China

"There is a Chinese saying - there are no unqualified students, but only unqualified teachers. Sometimes I feel I'm an unqualified teacher. What do you suggest, professor," a vocational education teacher from Central China's Henan province asked US education expert Walter Huber a question during his lecture in Beijing on Sunday.

"Well, you ask this question (which) shows that you are exactly a qualified teacher, a good teacher," Huber answered. Listeners all laughed, nodding.

Over Saturday and Sunday, vocational education experts from the United States and European countries gathered at the 2017 BN Vocational Education Workshop, to offer diagnosis to the weaknesses of China's vocational training through lectures, seminars and demonstration classes to more than 200 secondary vocational school principals and teachers from 14 mid-west Chinese provinces.
