We believe that what happens in education here is of interest to the rest of the world, with Chinese schools across this area coming close to the top of rankings of some international assessments of educational achievement. Leaders of international schools in particular provide a critical link between Chinese education for China and international education in China. The Network can be a strong basis for the Centre but also a strong voice in its own right on what quality education in China and beyond can and should be. While the Centre is a platform for the Network to discuss and exchange knowledge, practices and experiences, we also intend to provide platforms for members to showcase their practices internationally.
Our Activities
The Centre will provide a designated space on its website for members, with online services such as a designated database, discussion forum and other functionalities.
The Centre will provide periodic meetings of its members, including three-monthly in-person meetings at XJTLU, in a space and with refreshments provided by the Centre.
The Centre may organise online events, such as webinars, where researchers may engage with leaders and provide access to specialised lectures and privileged access to research findings.
The Centre intends to organise yearly study trips to (other) top schools, think tanks, research institutes and possibly international organisations abroad to support leaders’ professional development.
