Disney’s schools in China: Middle Kingdom meets Magic Kingdom

August 26th, 2010 | No Comments

A Western media company offers a product the Chinese can’t resist: education

ON A Tuesday at 6pm, children begin arriving at a bland commercial building just as the office workers are leaving. A small storefront leads to an English-language school run by Disney. It is not much of an entrance, squashed between a dusty drugstore and a fast-food joint. This being China, many passers-by assume it is a fake. But word is spreading through the pushy-parent network: this is the real thing.

Children as young as two toddle in and climb the stairs. At first glance, their classrooms look like dreary boxes, but two of the four walls are interactive video monitors. Each lesson is assisted by virtual mermaids, ducks, mice and other Disney icons. Touch the answer to a question (a fried egg, for example) on one screen, and it plops out of the sky on the other. While teachers instruct, the classroom seems to move. …

Uganda’s president faces serious opposition from a region that was once the bedrock of his support

The Ugandan president, Yoweri Museveni, who has held power since 1986, is facing serious opposition from a region that was previously the bedrock of his support.

A row with the Buganda region over aspirations of self-government boiled over in mid-September. At least 15 people died and hundreds were arrested during two days of rioting sparked when police stopped the Buganda king, Ronald Mutebi, from attending a rally in the Kayunga district, an area where the Banyala ethnic group is seeking to secede from the Buganda kingdom. The violence reflects an increasingly fraught struggle between the Buganda authorities and the Ugandan government over access to land and its concomitant power. Of Uganda’s four historical kingdoms which were restored in 1993, Buganda is by far the most popular among its subjects and, from the ruling party’s viewpoint, the most dangerous threat to the National Resistance Movement (NRM)’s political hegemony. The kingdom has a constitutional monarchy, a local parliament, regional assemblies and, crucially, about 17% of the Ugandan population. Relations with the government have deteriorated badly during the past year over differences on a proposed lands bill. The kingdom views the bill as a government scheme to gain control over its land resources while the administration argues that it will simply improve land security. …
