Abdulrahman Kanoo School Diyar (ARKS) hosted a meeting today with officials from H.E Colonel Wang Tao- Chinese Defence Attache,  Ms. Li Linlin- Third Secretary and Ms. Li Xiaolin- Diplomatic Attache. The meeting discussed the continuation of its mutually respectful partnership with the Chinese Embassy of Bahrain. This collaboration marks the third consecutive year that ARKS has offered Mandarin as a third language, making it the only school in the Kingdom to provide this unique opportunity from Reception to Year 9. As part of this partnership, ARKS is proud to offer the YCT examination, which allows students to gain valuable proficiency in Mandarin. This initiative reflects our commitment to fostering cultural understanding and promoting language skills among our students.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Chinese Embassy, which enhances our curriculum and enriches our students’ learning experiences,” said Ms Rong-Mandarin Co- Ordinator at ARKS “Learning Mandarin opens doors to new cultural perspectives and global opportunities.”

Mutual support from the school and Embassy only emphasises the importance of language learning but also strengthens the ties between Bahrain and China. Through this partnership, ARKS, CI and the Chinese Embassy aims to equip students with essential skills for the future in an increasingly interconnected world.
