The Development Status and Future Trend of China’s International Basic Education Industry——Interview With Qi Shu, an International Basic Education Expert

Abstract

With the development of economic globalization, information technology, and world integration, the internationalization of education has become an important trend in education reform and development. Since the 1990s, China has conducted pioneering explorations of international basic education and gradually upgraded it to a national strategy. Under the background of promoting the “Belt and Road” initiative, primary and secondary schools need to explore and develop in diverse ways to promote international basic education, such as building an international basic education core literacy target system, optimizing the international basic education content system, cultivating leaders with international horizon, strengthening the construction of humanities exchange mechanism, and establishing international basic education academic organizations to promote people-to-people bonds and cultural understanding. In this context, what is the status quo of the development of China’s international basic education industry? What kind of development will there be in the future? Based on this, the reporter interviewed Qi Shu, a well-known international basic education expert in China, asking her to analyze the development status of China’s international basic education industry and give her own insights on the future development trend of the industry.
