After a long three months of shutdown, schools are gradually reopening and helping students getting back on the study track. But what will the education look like when the current public health crisis is over? How will the overseas admission to higher education be affected? Are your kids ready for the changes?

AmCham South China is pleased to have Mr. Kevin Baker, Director of American International School of Guangzhou (AISG) to share his views on the expectation of next semesters, the future of education and the most concerned questions bear in our minds. Under his excellent leadership and school management, AISG has done an excellent job during the shutdown period and sets a role model in the international community.
