Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has some information about working at this place. From my own research there's surprisingly little online. I did find some rather scary information about a Sino-British college in Nanning, but obviously that's a different operation.

Any information appreciated.

Sino-British College in Nanning? Don't you mean the Sino-Canadian College in Nanning?

I created a thread to try to get some info on this place in September but didn't get any responses. This is the place you mean?

This explains a little more.

There is a thread on here which is generally negative, but it's about 6 years old. I did briefly meet a teacher who worked there and was positive about her experience, but I didn't get much detail. I was hoping that others might have a little more insight.

Yeah, it's clearly in Shanghai...according to the website-what's the connection to nanning in Guangxi province?

Looks to me like most of these 'sino-wherever' College programmes are nothing more than joint ventures to extract cash from the parents of students who have failed the government entry exams...what with the zero fail policy, a backdoor entry to the major of choice. And very very few of these students have any intention of studying overseas-and it's the overseas study component that many of these places are marketed upon.
