Samira Bawumia tours model school in China
The Second Lady, Mrs Samira Bawumia, has paid a working visit to a
model school in China with a view to replicating their successes in
Ghana.
The visit, which took place on the sidelines of the four-day official
state visit by the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, was to the
Beijing Jingyuan Primary School, one of the most prestigious schools in
Beijing, the capital of China.
The school is looking at grooming the next generation of responsible
citizens and world leaders; focusing not only on teaching the tradition
and history of the Chinese people to help them have a better
understanding of who they are but also teaching the younger generation
fundamental principles of living a happy and fulfilled life.
Among other accolades, the kindergarten is widely acknowledged as one
of the nation’s finest. The primary school students have won the first
prize for synthesis ability in Shjingshan District for many years, while
the junior middle school students have won first place in the Entrance
Examination to high school for six years. The students have since gone
on to famous universities.
After lengthy interactions between the staff of the school and a
guided tour of the facilities, Mrs Samira Bawumia was invited to try her
hands at Chinese calligraphy; she drew the first two letters in the
spelling of China, C and H in Chinese calligraphy to loud applause. She
was later presented with a traditional Chinese calligraphy scroll
describing Ghana as the Golden Beach. The scroll recounted the old
friendship between Ghana and the Chinese people and the hope of
strengthening the bond.
In brief remarks to the media, the Second Lady promised to pass on
the knowledge acquired to the appropriate authorities in Ghana in order
to enable the country draw lessons from the successes this model school.
