The meeting, hosted by Deputy Director Wu Jie of Beijing Municipal Education Commission, was attended by Second-tier Inspector Gu Ran of Department of Development Planning of Ministry of Education, Deputy Director Lai Xianyu of Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform, Director Li Yi of Beijing Municipal Education Commission, Director Zhang Tao of Tianjin Municipal Education Commission, Deputy Director Li Yi of Hebei Education Department, Vice Mayor Chen Jian and Vice Mayor Yan Liyan of Zhangjiakou, President Guo Fu of BISTU as well as officials of educational departments of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, presidents and vice presidents of 92 Beijing-based universities, directors of all 16 district educational commissions of Beijing, representatives of universities of Tianjin and Hebei, and corporate representatives.

Lai Xianyu commented that educational coordination is the foundation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development, a practice having benefited people of the three provinces and established a characteristic pathway for similar development patterns in other parts of China. Lai Xianyu stressed that we are now on a crucial stage of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development and universities are expected to provide high-quality regional development with quality talents. He added that integration, quality, and level of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei educational coordination should be further strengthened to make fresh, greater contributions to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development.

Chen Jian said that Zhangjiakou has rich educational resources, advantages in coordinated development, and enough room for industry-education integration. The Meeting had important implications for fully implementing the instructions made by President Xi Jinping and promoting coordinated regional education development. It was believed to bring new momentum to high-quality development of education in Zhangjiakou. He expected that educational commissions and departments, universities, and enterprises of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei would work together with Zhangjiakou to seize opportunities of development and to broaden the area of cooperation.

Li Yi, Zhang Tao and Liyi respectively delivered speeches on key issues in future work relating to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated education development. First, a new pattern of coordination connecting all three provinces should be built, i.e., breaking geographical and administrative barriers to boost resource sharing. Second, a new multi-dimension educational ecology should be established, i.e., boosting inter-connections among universities, society, and internet and promoting industry-education integration and science-education fusion. Third, it is necessary to construct a new mechanism of coordination for two-way empowerment, i.e., leveraging educational strengths of three provinces and facilitating exchange and communication among senior administrators and faculty of universities in the three provinces. And fourth, it is necessary to build a new service system for educational coordination, i.e., innovating teaching models for individualized and multi-dimensional growth of students and bringing good experiences and successful practices of institutions in Beijing into those based in Xiong’an.
