Shandong Jonathan (Education) Consulting International (JECI) has established close contact with hundreds of elementary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions and community colleges in dozens of countries. It has been granted authorization by many foreign educational institutes, especially that of English speaking countries. Therefore, JECI is capable of conveniently seeking foreign partner schools for domestic schools of different levels and helping to establish sister schools and intercollegiate relationships, which will be helpful to improve the mutual understanding and friendship, to promote the bilateral friendship and to advance academic exchanges and cooperation.

Thanks to JECI¡¯s consistent joint efforts with several foundations and organizations abroad, a couple of countries¡¯ national, provincial/state and education authorities have setup funds aiming to sponsor twin school programs and host teachers and students from China. At the same time, JECI is striving to strength its links with the association of principals, executive councils and associations of teachers in America, Canada£¬Australia, New Zealand, England£¬Germany, Sweden and Singapore, to create more opportunities for these twin programs for Sino-foreign schools and education authorities.

Below is what JECI will do to help the establishment of cooperative relationships between Chinese colleges and universities, middle Schools, primary Schools and their counterparts abroad:

• Initiate the Sino-foreign schools reach their first-stage exchange intention with JECI¡¯s and its overseas offices and representatives.
• Arrange the representatives of foreign teachers and students to visit China to get a preliminary view of Chinese schools and to discuss about the establishment of sister schools and intercollegiate relationships, discuss about the fund-raising issue and foreign counterparts¡¯ preparation of hosting Chinese teachers and students in the future.
• Make arrangements for Chinese teachers and students visit abroad, deepen their knowledge and understanding of foreign schools and improve the friendship between two sides, and further discuss twin school relationship, arrange to sign the letter of intent.
