On 23rd November 2024 (Saturday), PISA, in collaboration with the Confucius Institute, proudly hosted the Youth Chinese Test (YCT), an internationally recognised Chinese language proficiency examination.
A big congratulations to all 13 dedicated candidates, including both PISA and non-PISA students, who took on this challenge to enhance their Mandarin proficiency! The YCT, comprising four levels, assesses non-native speakers’ abilities in daily, academic, and professional settings, serving as a valuable benchmark for global learners.
Results will be available online in a month, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming even more aspiring linguists next year to continue fostering cross-cultural understanding and language excellence.
At PISA, we believe that language is the key to unlocking new opportunities, bridging cultures, and shaping global citizens—and our students are proving just that! Here’s to mastering Mandarin and embracing a multilingual future!
