Teachers from China will be sent into English schools as part of a taxpayer-funded programme designed to raise education standards, it will be announced today. 今日资讯报道，作为纳税人基金赞助项目的一部分，中国老师将被派往英国的学校来提高教育水平。 For the first time, a team of 60 teachers from high-performing schools in Shanghai will be hired in an attempt to promote Chinese-style teaching methods in the state education system. 由60名教师组成的队伍全部来自上海重点学校，他们将首次被聘请，力图在英国教育系统中促进中国式教学方法。 The reforms – covering maths – will involve on-the-job training for teachers in England alongside high-level master-classes for pupils. 在数学教育方面的改革，还包括培训当地的中学数学老师。 It comes amid concerns that schoolchildren in England are underperforming compared with their peers in the Far East in subjects seen as vital to the nation’s economic future. 这一项目的实施，主要源于英国学生的数学水平普遍低于远东地区的同龄人，而数学对于国家的经济发展至关重要。 International league tables published late last year suggested that 15-year-olds were the equivalent of three years behind those in Shanghai and between one and two years behind pupils from Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan. |
