Concordia International School Shanghai Named Winner of International School Award 2025

SHANGHAI, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Concordia International School Shanghai has been honored with the International School Award 2025 for its student-run social enterprise, Xiaohusai, which has been making a difference in China’s southwestern Yunnan province. The school is named one of the 14 winners of the award this year, out of nearly 200 applications worldwide.  

Concordia International School Shanghai wins an International School Award, honoring its commitment to community service.
Concordia International School Shanghai wins an International School Award, honoring its commitment to community service.

Hosted by ISC Research, the International School Awards celebrate strategic initiatives at international schools that showcase great learning, innovation, and community participation. These initiatives are rooted in central pillars that support intercultural understanding, diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, as well as one or more of the UN SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals).  

Xiaohusai is a prime example of Concordia’s service learning outcomes. Named after the small village in rural Yunnan, the social enterprise was founded and has been run by a group of Concordia students since 2016. Partnering with a local Shanghai company, they procure organic tea from Yunnan farmers at fair market prices, pack and sell it. Their goal is to guarantee local farmers receive fair pay for their tea, in return, allowing them to better support their children’s education and improve life in the village.

Since its conception, Xiaohusai has impacted around 1,000 people of the village, and directly supported six families through scholarships especially funding for the local girls’ education.

“By directly purchasing tea from the farmers, we ensure that their suppliers are paid above-market wages and free from the exploitation of conventional middlemen. The direct-trade approach is the short-term aspect, while the long-term component is the impact of education,” says the Xiaohusai team. In 2022, Xiaohusai even brought home the Excellent Charity Organization Nominee Prize of the Pramerica Fosun Spirit of Community Awards.

Every year, fresh faces from Concordia’s high school body join the Xiaohusai crew, and the student-run organization gets schoolwide support to tell the story of Xiaohusai village to the community. Being able to cooperate with the school allows the team to grow Concordia’s service initiative and leave behind a legacy for years to come.

Every summer, the team visits the village to assess the impact, chat with the villagers, help pick and roast tea and identify new infrastructure projects and areas of need. Students have the opportunity to practice running a real business, gaining skills in leadership, management, marketing, communication, product design, economics and financial management, accounting, sales, business ethics, and any role they may take on within the team.   

Since its founding in 1998, Concordia Shanghai intentionally looks for ways to offer support or raise awareness about local or global issues by engaging students and the community at large in meaningful service. From raising funds for gift bags for migrant children in Shanghai to helping build computer labs in Nepalese schools, service has been at the heart of Concordia’s mission, reflecting its dedication to shaping well-rounded individuals who lead with compassion and purpose.   

About Concordia International School Shanghai

Concordia International School Shanghai is a leading international school renowned for its rigorous academic programs, holistic education approach, and vibrant community spirit. With a focus on nurturing bright futures, the school offers a wide range of opportunities for students to grow academically, socially, and personally, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing world.

GILF Shortlisted in Catalog of Guangdong’s Nationwide Trade Initiative (2025), Starting New Procurement Season in March

ZHONGSHAN, China, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the official website of the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province released the Catalog of Guangdong’s Nationwide Trade Initiative (2025). After submission and expert review, the 32nd China (Guzhen) International Lighting Fair (GILF) and the 33rd  GILF were shortlisted in the catalog! From March 18 to 21, 2025, the 32nd GILF, as one of the recommended exhibitions of Guangdong’s Nationwide Trade Initiative, will be held at the Guzhen Conference and Exhibition Center, Zhongshan, Guangdong Province to present a one-stop procurement fair for purchasers in the spring!

Guangdong’s Nationwide Trade Initiative is a key concrete effort of Guangdong’s Global Trade Program, one of Guangdong’s ten major programs for high-quality trade development. Officially launched in Guangdong in 2021, it is a strategic initiative created by Guangdong Province to expand the domestic market, promote the coordinated development of domestic and international trade, and achieve mutual benefits and win-win results for production and trade.

The inclusion of the GILF in the Catalog of Guangdong’s Nationwide Trade Initiative (2025) is important as it is an evaluation of indicators of previous GILF sessions, including data, services, and the number of participating companies. It is a role model exhibition, as well as an authoritative certification of its professional level and market value. It can be said to be the crown jewel among exhibitions in the lighting industry. According to policies, shortlisted exhibitions will receive robust and prioritized support from the provincial government.

A Magnificent Event in China’s Lighting Capital

Under the theme of “Guzhen Lights up the World,” the 32nd GILF is strategically positioned as a specialized and market-oriented international fair. The main venue, the Guzhen Convention and Exhibition Center, will join hands with eight retail lighting stores. Through a gathering of more than 3,500 top-notch brands worldwide, it will be established as a spring procurement fair with an exhibition area of 1.5 million m2 that extends from the manufacturing end to exhibition and interacts with retail stores and supporting online activities.

With the main theme of “Procurement in Spring” and in response to the industrial trend to develop high-end, intelligent, branded, and customized products, the GILF focuses on displaying new and popular products of the lighting industry across smart lighting, residential lighting, commercial lighting, outdoor lighting, special lamps, lighting accessories, machinery, and smart home products. This will refresh the procurement experience for global merchants.

Winning Worldwide Favor and Becoming Increasingly Recognized

Despite being closed for several months, the 31st GILF remains clear in the memory of industrial experts for its bustling vitality. It attracted 98,736 visits from 141 countries/regions around the world, and the number of overseas visits surged by 35.39% from the previous year to an all-time high record. Moreover, eight sub-venues attracted 140,000 visits (240,000 in nine venues).

The analysis on the positions of visitors reveals that Chinese companies attached considerable importance to the GILF. Over 76% of visitors were members of corporate management. The analysis of their roles in procurement shows that over 80% played either a decisive or participatory role in procurement.

Under the concerted efforts from all circles, the 31st GILF was increasingly recognized and universally acclaimed. Over 92.85% of visitors expressed satisfaction; and 93.26% said they would visit the GILF again. Nearly 50% of the visitors came from “Belt and Road” countries/regions, mainly including Pakistan, Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, and altogether there were visitors from 88 countries/regions. This fully demonstrated GILF’s international influence.

Exhibitors of the last GILF were mainly lighting and lighting accessory manufacturers, including 76% who were able to market products in overseas countries. An enlarging group of import/export merchants and cross-border e-commerce retailers reflected a growing desire for overseas expansion among Chinese companies.

The upcoming 32nd GILF in March 2025 will leverage Guangdong’s Nationwide Trade Initiative to attract more Chinese and overseas exhibitors and visitors. While buidling up its own popularity, the event will continue to inject energy into industrial development, establish a mutually beneficial business exchange platform, and help companies in market expansion and customer acquisition, thereby giving an effectives boost to the high-quality development of the lighting industry.

ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships 2025 Open to Empower Women to Lead in STEM

ASEAN-UK SAGE is the UK’s flagship education programme in Southeast Asia, supporting girls and marginalised communities to access education and improve foundational learning.

JAKARTA, IndonesiaFeb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the UK in collaboration with ASEAN Secretariat opened applications for the second year of Women in STEM Scholarships under the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls’ Education (ASEAN-UK SAGE) programme. This initiative reaffirms the UK’s commitment to empowering women in Southeast Asia and Timor-Leste to overcome barriers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), enabling more women to lead in these fields.

This fully funded scholarship programme offers 11 exceptional women from 10 ASEAN Member States (AMS) and Timor-Leste the opportunity to pursue Master’s degrees at two of the UK’s leading universities: The University of Warwick and The University of Manchester. The ASEAN-UK SAGE offer complements the British Council Scholarships for Women in STEM also launched today.

In AMS, there is a mixed picture of gender parity in access and performance in STEM subjects. Despite outperforming boys in mathematics and science in primary and secondary education, but women remain underrepresented in STEM in tertiary education for only 19.3% women compared to 39.8% men obtain STEM degrees[1]. Women doctoral degree students are a minority[2]. According to UNESCO, women account for a minority of the world’s researchers[3]. In 2019, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide were women and only 30%of female students select STEM-related fields in higher education[4]. Specifically for East Asia and the Pacific, women researchers accounted for 25%[5].

This disparity continues into the workforce, with the 2022 UN progress report on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5, Gender Equality, indicating that only 20% of jobs in STEM sector are held by women globally and only 16.5% women inventors are associated with a patent[6].

ASEAN-UK SAGE Programme tackles gender barriers to basic digital skills for employment, aiming to support the development of basic digital skills for marginalised groups to improve employment opportunities and therefore quality of life, which helps narrow the development gap in ASEAN. The ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships support this goal by providing financial assistance to disadvantaged women from ASEAN countries and Timor-Leste to access UK education in key STEM-related fields.

In 2024, the first year of the ASEAN-UK SAGE scholarships, 12 women from nine countries (CambodiaIndonesiaMalaysiaMyanmarthe PhilippinesSingaporeThailandViet Nam, and Timor-Leste) went to the UK to study a range of STEM subjects from Environmental Data Science and Machine Learning to Engineering Business Management at master’s level at Imperial College London and the University of Warwick. They will be returning home after the end of the UK academic year.

Secretary-General of ASEAN, H. E. Dr. Kao Kim Hourn said:

“ASEAN’s workforce is vast, and it is imperative to harness the full potential of humanity by encouraging both girls and boys, men and women, to pursue and excel in STEM education, which is critical for the future world of work. By doing so, we ensure that ASEAN remains at the forefront of global economic and technological progress.

This scholarship comes at a timely moment as we in ASEAN look towards increasing the involvement of ASEAN women in STEM fields, reinforcing our commitment to gender inclusivity and sustainable development in alignment with regional and global priorities.”

Ambassador of the UK to ASEAN, H. E. Sarah Tiffin said:

“The UK is proud to support women in STEM in ASEAN. Supporting women benefits everyone. The ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships are a concrete demonstration of the UK’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable development through education and women’s empowerment.   They exemplify the thriving partnership between the UK and ASEAN.

The exceptional women who are undertaking the scholarships this year will return to their home countries to launch their STEM careers, driving science and innovation. They will advocate for women and inspire the next generation.  And we hope they will build on their experience to develop research collaborations between ASEAN and the UK, where our universities are known for their top-notch STEM programmes.”

Summer XiaDirector Southeast Asia, British Council said:

“Recognising the vital role of women in shaping the future of science and innovation, we are proud to also launch the fifth year of the British Council Women in STEM Scholarships. This programme offers over 65 scholarships globally, including 25 for outstanding women from East Asian countries this year. These prestigious scholarships are more than just financial support—they are a gateway to world-class education, cutting-edge research, and a powerful global network of women leaders in STEM.

With both scholarship programmes, we want to equip talented women with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive, investing in a future where they will break barriers, drive discoveries, and inspire the next generation. Applications for both the ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships and the British Council Scholarships for Women in STEM are now open until mid-April 2025, covering tuition fees, stipends, travel costs, visas, and health coverage.”

The 3-in-1 robot effortlessly transforms from a powerful robot vacuum to a versatile stick vacuum or a portable handheld vac, making it the ultimate solution for cleaning your home—from floors to stairs and everything in between.

SINGAPORE, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — eufy, an Anker Innovations brand, known for its smart home cleaning and security solutions, announced its most innovative deep cleaning system: the eufy Robot Vacuum 3-in-1 E20.

Auto-Empty Station

The self-empty system in the 3-in-1 E20 automatically empties fine dust, debris and irritants into a sealed high-performance filter from the robot vacuum and hand vacuum, where it can be stored for up to 75 days without emptying.

40% Faster Flash Charging

The eufy Robot Vacuum 3-in-1 E20 features cutting-edge BMS technology, enabling it to charge from 0% to 100% in just 2.5 hours—40% faster than competitors.

Auto-Detangling Brush

Similar to the X10 Pro Omni, the E20 is equipped with a combined rubber and bristle brush along with anti-tangle comb teeth to prevent entanglement, especially for pet hair and long hair.

Chatsworth International School Celebrates 30 Years of Excellence


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 February 2025 – Chatsworth International School, a leading international school in Singapore, is proud to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. Since its founding, Chatsworth International School has been dedicated to providing a holistic and enriching education.

  • Gold for the prestigious Curriculum Awards (IB) at the Singapore Education Awards in 2023 and 2024
  • Gold for the School Where Everybody Knows Your Name at the Singapore Education Awards for three consecutive years (2021 – 2024)

Chatsworth International School’s 30th Anniversary

To celebrate this milestone, Chatsworth has hosted a gala dinner on 21 February. This special event brought together staff, parents, and guests to commemorate three decades of growth and achievement. The evening featured a Long Service Award presentation to honour dedicated staff members who have contributed significantly to Chatsworth’s success. Further highlighting its close-knit community, the gala dinner included performances by talented students and a parent.

Adding to the significance of the occasion, the event was graced by Ms. Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Ministry of National Development, to honour the school’s achievements and contributions to education in Singapore.

A Holistic Approach to Education
These awards underscore Chatsworth’s unique approach to education, which combines academic rigour with a well-rounded approach, empowering students to think critically, solve problems, and embrace global citizenship. Through community engagement initiatives and experiential learning opportunities, Chatsworth fosters a learning environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Central to this success are Chatsworth’s exceptional teachers. Representing over 20 nationalities, their educators bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for nurturing a love of learning in every student. Small class sizes and a low student-teacher ratio ensure that each child receives personalised attention and support.

“Each morning, the kids are warmly welcomed and all the teachers take genuine interest in how the kids are going. These small things can have a huge impact on a child’s sense of belonging and security in an institution. All the staff at this international school in Singapore have genuine care for how the children are performing, but more importantly, how they’re developing as good, thoughtful people.” – Rachel Fergus, parent of two Chatsworth students.

Looking Ahead: A Continued Commitment to Excellence
As Chatsworth embarks on its next chapter, the IB school remains dedicated to its mission of inspiring, educating, and enlightening students to become responsible and engaged members of the global community, while continuing to celebrate every individual’s unique talents and passions.
