The National Assembly has taken a step toward making the teaching of Mandarin compulsory in all schools, the BBC reported. Supporters of the bill, which has received conditional approval in the first of three debates, say increasing the number of Chinese speakers would help increase Panama's competitiveness in the world, the report said. It said the proposed legislation set out a time frame of 10 years for Mandarin to be taught in all schools. Chinese teachers would be allowed to immigrate to help train local teachers (New York Times)."
This is going to come as a rude shock to shit-chewing Amurkns who think they own the planet!
