The Beijing Office and Taipei Office of DBEDT organized a Journalist’s Mission to Hawaii, the mission included a delegation of 15 journalists from two different destinations who visited schools on the Islands of Maui and Oahu from February 3-11, 2018.
Working with the Study Hawaii Educational Consortium, an organization of 28 public and private institutions and programs, the delegation had a chance to visit and understand the educational system from High School to University in Hawaii; to experience the “Hawaii, the Best Classroom in the World” just before the Chinese New Year.
The group visited various schools and sites including Maui Preparatory Academy, Mid-Pac Institute, Iolani School, St. Louis High School, Institute for Astronomy – Maui, Maui College, University of Hawaii – Manoa, University of Hawaii – West Oahu, Hawaii Pacific University, Hawaii Tokai, Leeward Community College, Kapiolani Community College, John A. Burns School of Medicine & Cancer, and Global Village Hawaii. The group also got an experience to stay one night at the student housing.
On February 6, DBEDT hosted the delegation at the Washington Place with a mini trade show of Study Hawaii partners followed by a networking reception. First Lady Dawn Amano-Ige welcomed the delegation and expressed appreciation for the group’s visit.
