The British lecturer and the Chinese students

Today I gave a lecture on broadband policy to postgraduate students at the London School of Economics.

A third of the almost two dozen students were Chinese. This tells us how international is the student population of LSE and how much Chinese students are seeking British education.

All the Chinese students sat together and they all sat at the back. Only one asked a question in almost two hours of teaching. This tells us how difficult Chinese students find it to adopt the British style of education where one actually thinks about the subject and engages with the teacher.
