Asia Education Foundation

School stories: Leading Asia literacy

Learn from schools that have been involved in the Leading 21st Century Schools project. In the first in our series of snapshots from Round 2, we talk to Lis Turner about the challenges and rewards of fostering Asia-related material in a school with little previous exposure to Asia. She is principal at the Waggrakine primary school, near Geraldton, Western Australia.

The case studies below afford an opportunity to learn firsthand from schools involved in Round 1 of the project. View a school case study or video of an interview with the school principal by clicking on the appropriate links.
