Dialogue 對談環節

Moderator 主持:

Initiated by Professor Zhu Yongxin in 2000, the New Education Initiative (NEI) has profoundly transformed education in China through action over the past two decades. To date, it has reached 229 county-level divisions, engaged more than 11,000 schools, and benefited over 10 million teachers and students, demonstrating the sustained impact of educational innovation.

In this lecture co-organised by the Faculty of Education at The University of Hong Kong and Yidan Prize Foundation, Professor Zhu will share practical insights drawn from his two decades of work advancing educational equity and inclusion. He will offer an in-depth exposition of how the NEI seeks to realise the educational ideal of “enabling teachers and students to live a happy and holistic educational life” by reshaping pathways for teachers’ professional development and optimising students’ learning approaches both within and beyond the school settings. The lecture will highlight two core strategies of the initiative: first, enhancing teachers’ professional competence and commitment to teaching; and second, cultivating a society-wide culture of reading. Together, these approaches aim to promote comprehensive improvements in educational quality and students’ competencies.

The event will feature a dedicated dialogue session moderated by Professor Cheng Kai Ming of the Faculty of Education at The University of Hong Kong. The two education experts will address the current challenges and opportunities in the field, and will jointly envision the diverse possibilities for the future development of education in China.
 

朱永新教授於2000年發起的新教育實驗，歷經二十餘年的發展，以行動悄然改變著中國教育。截至目前，全國累計已有229個縣級區域、超過11,000所學校參與新教育實驗，惠及師生逾1,000萬人，展現了教育創新的強大生命力。

本次講座由香港大學教育學院與一丹獎基金會合辦，朱教授將於活動中分享其二十多年來推動教育公平與普惠的實踐智慧，深入闡釋新教育實驗如何通過重構教師專業成長路徑、優化學生校內外學習生態，實現「讓師生過一種幸福完整的教育生活」的教育理想。講座將重點剖析新教育實驗的兩大核心路徑：一是提升教師專業素養與職業熱情，二是營造全民閱讀的社會風尚，從而推動教育品質與人才素養的全面提升。

活動特設對談環節，由香港大學教育學院程介明教授擔任主持。兩位教育專家將圍繞當前教育領域的挑戰與機遇展開深度交流，共同展望中國教育未來發展的多元可能。
