In late February 2005, a group of 26 principals from Wuhan secondary schools came to Christchurch College of Education (CCE) for a 4-week training on the New Zealand Education system and secondary education administration. During the four weeks, CCE arranged for some local secondary principals to lecture to the training class and to meet the Wuhan principals for sharing each other experience in the administration and for discussions on the secondary education improvement and renovation. The group also visited some local secondary schools and had a better understanding of New Zealand education. The Wuhan principals felt that they had had a worthwhile time and they would apply in their situations in China what they had learned during their training in CCE. The group had also made some field trips to some other places during their stay in New Zealand. Mr Chen Mingming, Ambassador of P R China in New Zealand, came in person to Christchurch from Wellington on 19 March 2005 to congratulate the group for their successful completion of the training.
