Memorandum of Understanding

We are delighted to propose that Xiamen Shuangshi Middle School of Fujian Province, China and Bo'ness Academy, Scotland , UK agree to become international partner schools and develop long term education programmes of mutual benefit for their teachers and students.

This will be achieved through:

exchange visits of students and teachers
curriculum enrichment for language teaching
development of links in specific subject areas
an expansion of opportunities for students to use electronic communication
to advance the professional development of the staff of both schools by sharing best practice in education
to establish a poster corner to display the latest achievements of both schools so that students and teachers have a better understanding of both sides
to encourage students and teachers to visit the schools' website to understand the counterpart.

The details of this programme of co-operation will be agreed in due course between the head teachers of both schools.

This partnership has the full support of the Xiamen Educational Bureau and the Director of Education, Falkirk Council, UK.
