“French Ambassador”: From SYB Students to SYB Teachers
Five years ago, Wang Li and Zhang Zhenghai were both migrant workers in factories and Xiao Jinjin just graduated from high school. All of them had never imagined that they would be able to speak French and have the chance to study abroad in France, the center of the baking world. However, these young people made it, and they have become the most professionals in the French bakery field.
After half-year training at SYB in 2008, these three students from SYB’s pioneering batch were selected to further their bakery class in EFBPA (Ecole Française de Boulangerie et Pâtisserie d’Aurillac), France, one of the most prestigious baking institutions worldwide. They spent six months studying in Aurillac, and had their French studies sponsored by Alliance Francaise before their departure. Back to China, they became teachers at SYB, guiding future students and cultivating their joy in learning and practicing bakery.
