Construction work on the Wuhan Jingkai Foreign Language School upgrade and expansion project is currently underway in Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone (WHDZ) in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province, according to local media reports.
According to plans, in about five years it will be a national top brand school with an international vision and distinctive characteristics.
At present, the model rooms of all the buildings of the school project have been completed and passed the inspection and acceptance phase. The project has now entered the stage of facade construction and interior finishing.
The school is also set to become the first school in the province to boast 5G coverage. Construction work started in July 2020, and the revamped school is scheduled to open its doors in September 2021.
Officials said that what marks this school out from conventional schools was that from the beginning, the project has considered integrating the entire information system into one platform to ensure the smoothness of information sharing.
There will also be more applications for distance teaching and a 5G digital platform for the school. Officials said that at the start of the design process, relevant system pipelines were embedded and data transmission was also considered for design optimization.
The advantages of 5G are reflected in rapid information transmissions, both in the campus intelligent management system and other systems. They said the campus intelligence system, based on 5G technology, will be much faster and more convenient to use.
The school will include an elementary school department, a junior high school department, a high school department and an international department, and it will enroll 4,000 students on completion.
