This morning, Chen Jining, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, met with the delegation led by Janini, Assistant Director General of Education of UNESCO.
Chen Jining introduced the relevant situation of Shanghai's economic and social development, especially the development of education.We have always placed education in a prominent position in urban development, accelerating the establishment of a sound education system, enriching the supply of lifelong education, deepening digital empowerment of education, and expanding international cooperation in education. The foundation of cooperation between UNESCO and Shanghai is deep and the results of cooperation are constantly emerging. The construction of Chinese path to modernization is highly consistent with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations, opening up a broader space for both sides to deepen cooperation in the field of education. Shanghai will actively play its role, do a good job of work coordination, and continue to deepen practical cooperation in various fields. I hope that UNESCO will continue to provide strong support, build more platforms and launch more activities in promoting open innovation in education, promoting global STEM education, sharing educational experiences, and cultural exchanges among young people from various countries, and work together to make greater contributions to promoting comprehensive human development.
