Grateful for the Era: Jointly Building Ecological Prosperity in International Education

The opportunities of our era have placed us in a period of accelerated internationalization of education. Only by maintaining an open, progressive, and inclusive stance can we converge forces from all sides to jointly paint a new blueprint for educational development. This dinner, which brought together the Group’s core leadership and international teaching team, is not only a grateful reflection on our shared journey but also a new starting point to connect diverse wisdom and build momentum for the future.
