Ohio students learn Chinese through Hanban funded program
Central Ohio students in Gahanna Jefferson and Columbus School for Girls study Chinese with a $30,000 grant from Hanban. The Confucius Class network links dozens of U.S. schools with China and hosts guest teachers funded by the Chinese government. Some fear ideological influence, but Ohio officials say instruction remains independent. Ohio exports to China and rising Chinese programs across the state frame the effort as language skill for business ties.
