Ministry of Education Visit

Today we met with the Education Minister, similar to the U.S. Arne Duncan. He gave a presentation on China's educational reform. We had an opportnity to ask questions. I asked about special education students. The response is they realize that this is an issue, but at this point, they do not have plans for changing. However, they feel it is important to add morale education and art and music--only for the city students.

They served us lunch, and then in the afternoon we visited the Forbidden City. We walked 178 acres. For dinner, we went to a duck restaurant. They cut the head off right before us.

Tomorrow we are listening to other top administrators of education to learn about management of education, then visiting schools in the afternoon.
