THE MANDARIN ADVANTAGE: WHY YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO STUDY MANDARIN



The Mandarin Advantage: Why Your Child Needs To Study Mandarin

One of the greatest satisfactions about being a teacher is the ability to produce well-adjusted individuals who can cope with the demands of the 21st century.

Increasingly, the world is seeking more tolerable individuals; understandably so.

One would argue that our world faces major crises due to intolerance; either by individuals or communities. Learning Mandarin is a good avenue for training your child to be a global citizen by broadening their perspective.

Learning the Mandarin language makes them more tolerant towards other people by providing deep insights into Chinese culture, history, and philosophy, which is essential for fostering cross-cultural understanding in a globally connected world.
Chinese language learning is rapidly gaining popularity amongst Kenyan students and for good reason.
With the rising cases of youth disgruntlement due to lack of employment, mastery of Chinese language offers unique opportunities for employment.


China is one of the world’s largest economies and plays a critical role in global trade, technology, and politics.
China is also currently Africa’s second largest trading partner. Consequently, there are very many opportunities for collaboration on various areas of mutual interest.  During the 2024 Forum on China Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) President Xi pledged over $50 billion in new financing for Africa. With a growing number of Kenyan business engaging with Chinese firms, young people fluent in Mandarin, have a competitive advantage in the job market.
