The Swire Chinese Language Programme was founded in 2016 to improve the quality, quantity, and reach of the teaching of the Chinese language in the UK. With funding from the Swire Chinese Language Foundation, the programme is working with various schools across the country and has created twelve Swire Chinese Language Centres.

​

Participating schools will teach their own pupils as well as private individuals, teachers and pupils from other schools in the surrounding area. Their common aim is for students of all ages to gain greater access to Chinese language teaching, and that greater interest in the language and Chinese culture will be generated.

​

With relations between Britain and China becoming more important than ever this is an exciting time to engage with Chinese language and culture. The Swire Chinese Language Programme will encourage more young people to learn this fascinating and enjoyable language, and will increase access to it for pupils across the country.
