Welcome to Stepping Stones
Shanghai Volunteer English Teaching Program
The objective of this project is to assist students in migrant schools in Shanghai to gain interest and confidence in their English language abilities and to help them pass their middle school entrance examinations
Project Summary
This project focuses on improving the standard of English learning in the migrant schools in Shanghai. English teaching volunteers are introduced into schools for migrant children in Shanghai.
To date, we are running projects in 16 schools across Minhang, Huangpu, Baoshan, Pudong, Yangpu and Putuo districts. The English teaching standards in these schools are low and the Principals welcome volunteers to teach English to the students and/or the teachers either during the school day or at the weekend.
This programme offers a rewarding way to get to know another side of China’s society and to contribute in a meaningful way to the education of under-privileged children.
