Regional Exchange Activities

As a support organisation with a university base, on one hand, we collaborate education theories with applications to promote school improvement in a whole scale. On the other hand, we endeavour on research and development to grasp the trend of modern education. In order to achieve this, we have been actively involving in seminars, training workshops, academic conferences and visits organised by foreign education bureaus, school improvement advocators and educators to review our own industry and collect precious wisdom from frontline applications.

Quality School Improvement and Partnership Academic Conference

In the first Cross-Strait Four Places Quality School Improvement Partnership Academic Conference in 2006, we invited school improvement advocators, expert teams and frontline educators from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau to share hands-on experiences they have accumulated from different areas in order to build a sophisticated exchange platform for the Asian community. In the conference, we successfully opened up exchanges among different places. Since then, institutions in all such places have been very keen to host the conference. As a result, development experience of different places are shared on a regular basis. Many places such as Shanghai, Macau, Beijing and Lanzhou had hosted the conference, which enabled a broader and deeper exploration on school improvement among the Asian community.
