SXPI already is the national training base for Chinese TVET teachers. Now, the training base that SXPI is building with Wintec will give SXPI the ability to offer more quality and internationalized training programmes and share its international experience with TVET teachers from China”, Said Zhang Xiaoyun on the workshop.

The Sino-NZ TVET Teacher Training Base will also be a fruit between China and New Zealand on TVET cooperation since the two government signed education cooperation agreement in Beijing in 2013, promoting cooperation on TVET institutions is one of the important items in the agreement.
