education - New training school for government officials

The central government is opening tomorrow a new high-end training school for high government officials in Shanghai, Pudong. People who have seen the new building were already very impressed and the initial information looks pretty solid. The board of the China Executive Leadership Training Academy Pudong (CELAP) will be chaired by Mr. He Guoqiang, head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.
It is meant for participants up to the ministerial level and will also offer an MBA-degree. It looks that it is both competing with the better MBA-schools, like CEIBS, but also the current party school that used to have a monopoly on this kind of education.
At the first event tomorrow Mr. Gordon Brown, Chancellor of the Exchequer of the UK will visit the new school.
