In order to implement the spirit of the National Education Conference, open new frontiers in the internationalization of education, enhance China’s global influence in teacher education, and further expand the breadth and depth of international exchanges and cooperation in teacher development in the new era, the Ministry of Education has established the Institute of Global Teachers Development, with Beijing Normal University taking the lead.
