Huai Jinpeng pointed out that the Chinese government consistently prioritizes education, placing it in a strategic position for prioritized development. This has driven historic achievements and transformative changes in education, resulting in more inclusive and higher-quality public education services, a significantly enhanced capacity of education to support economic and social development, deepened digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of education, and the continuous expansion of high-level opening up in education. The recent Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the integrated promotion of education, science and technology, and talent development, and delivering education that satisfies the people, making new deployments for education to support and lead Chinese modernization. This will undoubtedly inaugurate a new journey of high-quality development for Chinese education. Huai Jinpeng emphasizes that currently, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, and global development faces profound changes. The world needs peace, countries need development, and people aspire for happiness.

He put forward three proposals: First, adhere to inclusiveness and equity, shaping a more sustainable and better world through the power of education. Second, persist in innovation-driven development, shaping a more dynamic and better world through the renewing power of education. Third, uphold cooperation and mutual learning, shaping a more inclusive and better world by building bridges through education.
