Teach Abroad

For teachers, the YRDSB Summer Teach Abroad​ program offers a unique, three stage program that blends English language teacher training with an English language camp for elementary and secondary students in a host city abroad.

Ontario-certified, experienced teachers provide participating local teachers an opportunity to increase their repertoire of teaching and classroom management strategies in real classroom settings with face-to-face instruction.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience for local students enriches their English skills and opens a window into Canadian culture in a wholly new learning environment.

"To make sure children in rural areas can also embrace this innovation, China’s Education Ministry has required governments at all levels to spend no less than 8 per cent of their annual funding on digitalisation of education. In 2016, an estimated 300 billion yuan was invested in China on digitalisation.

About 73 million out of the 76 million middle schools in China have access to the internet, according to Master Learner’s Zhang. “This has laid a solid foundation for the take off of AI-enabled education in China,” he said."
