- Abstract
There are many Chinese teaching institutions in Belgium,including universities, Confucius Institutes, Chinese schools for children and adults,evening classes in Universities etc. Combining the information provided by the Chinese Education Sector in Belgium and my interview outcome with the local Chinese teachers. This thesis mainly focuses on introducing the current state of these institutions in terms of their education system, management system, faculty construction and its history.Therefore we can get the conclusion that Belgium has made tremendous achievement in terms of Chinese education, management and teachers resources. At the same time, there is room for improvement. For example, both of KU.Leuven University and Gent University which have set up their own Sinology departments and feature a long history of formal Chinese education fail to demonstrate their focuses from the curriculum's point of view; All the Confucius Institute should think about how to complement and cooperate with other Chinese teaching organizations in a harmonious manner and pave the way for their future work; Some of the Chinese teachers in Chinese teaching institute have never received proper teaching qualifications.
