UCL IOE Confucius Institute’s annual Excellence Awards provide professional recognition for contributions to Chinese language teaching in schools in both Primary and Secondary Schools.
The 2023 Excellence Awards ceremony will be held at our Annual Chinese Teaching Conference on Saturday 14th October 2023.
