Innovation in teaching strategies was suggested to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness, curriculum development, and learning technology. Teacher training programmes were also identified to improve teachers’ teaching abilities and professional qualities, which would in turn enhance students’ learning experiences. Cross-border education programmes and projects were recommended to cultivate students and teachers with international perspectives and innovation abilities, promote cultural exchange, and academic collaboration. The discussion on student exchange programmes will provide students with opportunities to study and participate in tailored internship at each other’s universities, which will expand their international perspectives and experiences.
In addition, joint research and technological innovation development are in the pipeline, focusing on solving social problems, promote industrial development as well as academic exchanges and industry-academic collaboration. Joint community service projects will also be explored to address social problems together.
The group also took the opportunity to explore other aspects and innovative breakthroughs for future collaboration, including developing distance education and online learning, promoting teaching resources and faculty exchange, and exploring scientific research and technological innovation in emerging fields such as Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. These initiatives aim to provide students with more learning channels and methods, adapt to the development trend of modern education, share teaching resources and faculty strength, learn from each other’s experiences and advantages, and improve the quality and level of teaching.
