Pupils from Bathgate Academy in West Lothian are delighted to present their video questions to Number 41 High School in Tianjin. The live answers are being heard today by Michael Russell, Education Secretary as part of his official visit to China.

Joe Boyd, Head Teacher, Bathgate Academy said:

“As a Headteacher, I am optimistic about the future of our country and know that its very important for Scottish children to learn to take an active part in the whole world, not just in our own wee corner of it. We have much to learn from the people of China. Chinese children focus on learning in an exceptional way. They keep themselves healthy and they live very positive lives. We can work with them to build a multicultural and harmonious world.”
