The Harbin No. 2 Korean Middle School (also Harbin 2nd Korean Nationality Middle School) is a school for ethnic Korean residents of Harbin, Heilongjiang in northeast China.[1][2]

History

The No. 2 Korean Middle School was established in 1962, and received permission to convert from an ordinary middle school to a foreign-language vocational middle school in September 1992. It was the only ethnic vocational middle school in Heilongjiang province.[3] Its conversion into a municipal-level standard school was approved in December 2010.[4]

In 2006, the Heilongjiang College of Education organised computer training for teachers at the school and several other Korean schools in the province.[5] In 2011, the school signed an agreement with the Harbin Tourism Department to train Korean-speaking tour guides.[6]
