On April 10th, the launch ceremony of the Guangdong TV portal of the Smart Education of China platform for primary and secondary schools was held in Guangzhou. The event outlined the "four foundations" and "five key initiatives" for promoting digital transformation in education across the province.
Guangdong's efforts to promote digital education transformation are built on four strong foundations. First, there is an urgent demand for digitalization. With more than 28.7 million students enrolled in schools, ranking first in China, Guangdong urgently requires high-quality, systematic, and diverse digital educational resources. Second, the province has robust new infrastructure. All primary and secondary schools in Guangdong have 100% broadband access, with speeds exceeding 100 Mbps; more than 99% of classrooms are equipped with multimedia devices. Third, Guangdong is rich in high-quality cultural resources. It is a major powerhouse in culture, media, and the internet. Fourth, the province has strong capabilities in information technology. Guangdong leads China in 5G, cloud computing, and big data infrastructure, and is home to many top tech companies. Educational institutions and related enterprises engage in deep collaboration in areas such as hardware, platform technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI).
At the launch event, five key initiatives were announced to drive digital transformation in education across Guangdong.
Strengthening new infrastructure for education. Guangdong will promote the digital, contextualized, curriculum-integrated, and personalized development of educational equipment, laying a solid foundation for educational reform in the information age. The province will enhance rural digital education infrastructure to ensure all village schools are connected via remote classrooms, every class is linked to smart teaching platforms, and everyone benefits from digital applications.
Enhancing the intelligent services of the platform. Guangdong will accelerate the comprehensive application of the platform for all users and processes, and build a five-tier service system. Leveraging its concentration of tech enterprises, the province will actively integrate cutting-edge technologies into educational scenarios, exploring new models of "AI + teaching, teaching and research, and management."
Improving teachers' digital competencies. Through the new "strengthening teacher force" initiative, Guangdong will encourage teachers to embrace and utilize technologies such as big data and AI. The province also aims to attract a cohort of teaching graduates with insights into large-unit, interdisciplinary, and digital education to work in the region.
Expanding the supply of high-quality educational content. Guangdong will encourage media outlets, cultural and museum institutions to participate in curriculum development. The province will also motivate teachers, students, and schools to produce quality content to support self-directed learning, improved teaching practices, and home-school collaboration. The aim is to help students gain scientific knowledge, appreciate cultural richness, and build well-rounded personalities through extended classroom experiences.
Stimulating collaborative innovation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). Guangdong will promote educational development in the GBA through active exchange and cooperation, jointly establishing a regional benchmark for digital education transformation.
