Bohunt Chinese School

Bohunt Chinese School was an experiment that took place at the Bohunt School in Liphook, Hampshire, United Kingdom, in 2015.[1] The experiment involved fifty Year Nine students at the school being educated by Chinese teachers using traditional Chinese teaching methods for a period of four weeks. This included mostly lecture-based teaching and 12-hour shifts at school.[2][3]

At the end of the experiment, the academic achievement of the 50-pupil group that received Chinese education was compared with an equivalent group of their peers through an assessment carried out by an independent board by a peer review. In the assessment, pupils in the Chinese-educated group performed 10% better than their other peers in maths, science, and Mandarin.

This experiment was broadcast by the BBC as part of a three-episode documentary.[4]
