Education in China is rapidly evolving to meet the needs of its people, ensuring that the learning of today is agile enough to meet the changing demands of future work and life. As boundaries between people and culture become more porous, and many jobs of the future are unknown, the 21st century citizen will have to be resilient, curious, creative, innovative and most of all adaptable.
These characteristics have been recognised by China’s Ministry of Education and enshrined in the China Education Development Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, which lays out the road map to an education system that approaches individual development holistically and takes into account the challenges of educating for both the known and unknown.
