Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming education around the world, and China is at the forefront of this revolution. As the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee prepares to convene from July 15-18 in Beijing to deepen reform efforts, the nation is embracing AI to drive modernization and personalize learning experiences.
During a recent visit organized by the Shijingshan Future Industry Education Center, Philip Lingard, a senior advisor at SuperCharger Ventures—the world’s largest EdTech-only accelerator—shared his insights with CGTN’s Enoch Wong. Lingard highlighted China’s rapid modernization and the pivotal role AI plays in shaping the future of education.
“The transformation I’ve witnessed in China’s education sector is phenomenal,” Lingard remarked. “AI is not just a buzzword here; it’s actively being integrated to tailor education to individual learners, making learning more effective and accessible.”
China’s commitment to integrating technology in education aligns with its broader goals of modernization. The upcoming CPC Central Committee meeting is expected to further policies that support innovation and educational reform, positioning the country as a leader in AI-driven education.
Lingard emphasized how AI enables personalized learning, where educational content adapts to the needs of each student. This approach not only enhances learning outcomes but also prepares students for the demands of a rapidly evolving global economy.
“China understands that education is the cornerstone of societal advancement,” he said. “By investing in AI and embracing innovative teaching methods, they are setting a precedent for other developing nations.”
The collaboration between policymakers, educators, and technology experts in China fosters an environment conducive to educational innovation. Initiatives like those of the Shijingshan Future Industry Education Center exemplify the commitment to creating a future-ready education system.
As China continues to modernize, the fusion of AI and education promises to unlock new opportunities for learners and reshape the educational landscape, not just in China but potentially worldwide.
