From Special Economic Zones to Science and Technology Clusters
Upgrading China’s Competitiveness: From Special Economic Zones to Science and Technology Clusters Dr. Filip De Beule Em. Prof. Dr. Daniel Van Den Bulcke Institute of Development Policy and Management University of Antwerp i Preface While the establishment of economic zones at the beginning of China’s open door policy were careful attempts to open China’s door to the outside world and abandon its isolationist policy, the Chinese leadership today is undoubtedly very proud of these achievements. Twenty five years after the first four Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and twenty years after the development and construction of state- level economic and technological development zones, the China National Philatelic Corporation, which belongs to the Chinese Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, issued a special stamp in 2004 to commemorate the establishment of the Economic and Technological Development Zones (ETDZ). An accompanying leaflet stated “This stamp was issued in commemoration of the glorious achievements of the state-level economic and technological zones in the past 20 years, highlighting the role and position of the construction of the development zones in China’s economic construction. Deng Xiaoping’s inscription is the main element in the design of the stamp, and abstract symbols are used to reflect the radiating and driving role of the development zones as windows and models.” This report attempts to describe and evaluate the policy of China to use economic zones as vanguards of development. It is based on desk research with a focus on the studies of clusters and a field trip to China in April 2004 with visits to a number of zones in Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Beijing and Dalian and interviews with managers of the zones and some Belgian companies located in the zones. -

Understanding by Design
UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN DATE: January 20 - 21, 2018 COST: $100 USD per person TIME: 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. REGISTRATION DUE: Friday, December 15, 2017 LOCATION: Shanghai American School, Puxi Campus, 258 Jinfeng Road Huacao Town, Minhang District, Shanghai, China 201107 DESCRIPTION How can you design learning experiences that make it much more likely that students will understand content and be able to apply it in meaningful ways? Since 1998, thousands of educators globally, have used the Under- standing by Design (UbD) Framework® to answer that question and create more rigorous and engaging curricula. Workshop participants will apply a set of practical and proven UbD 2.0 tools and templates to create or refine a unit of study. More specifically you will learn to: • Apply the 3-stage “backward design” model for the development of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. • Use essentials questions to frame curriculum and focus on “big ideas”. • Apply processes for “unpacking” standards to establish curriculum priorities and determine content worthy of deep understanding. • Explore six “facets” of understanding and their implications for curriculum, assessment, and teaching. • Apply selected design tools to create authentic performance tasks based on the six “facets”. • Access a large collection of UbD-supportive web based resources. FACILITATORS Jay McTighe Janet Claassen Andrew Miller Fay Leong Jay McTighe is an accomplished author, having co-authored 14 books, including the award-winning and best- selling Understanding by Design series with Grant Wiggins. His books have been translated into 14 languages. Jay has also written more than 36 articles and book chapters, and been published in leading journals, includ- ing Educational Leadership (ASCD) and Education Week. -

“YK Pao, My Father” by Anna Pao Sohmen Order Form for Signed Book Number of books required__________________ Total payment (HKD 250/book)_____________ All the proceeds will go towards a Hong Kong scholarship at YK Pao School, which was founded by Anna Pao Sohmen and her son Philip in memory of Sir YK Pao and in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Return of Hong Kong to China. The primary division is a day school in Changning District near the French concession. The secondary division is a boarding school in Thames Town, outside Shanghai city. It will have 900 students in the coming September, out of which the majority is mainland students and 35% are from overseas, including Hong Kong. YK Pao School is a non-profit Chinese school. With an integrated Chinese and IB curriculum, the school emphasizes the Chinese language and culture, while preparing all rounded students for the global stage. Thanks to the support of Anna Pao Sohmen’s husband, Helmut Sohmen, and her three sisters, Bessie, Cissy and Doreen Pao, YK Pao School has been equipped with some of the best facilities. The School also endeavours to attain 20% scholarships and aid students in order to make this education accessible to those talented. It costs 1.4 million RMB to educate a student for seven years in the secondary boarding school. We have already established 6 scholarships for students from different parts of China. Now we would like to give a scholarship to an outstanding Hong Kong student to attend the secondary boarding school in Shanghai.
