The original meaning of Utopia is laputan, which is the imagination of a wonderful society in human ideology. In our opinion, the utopia of education can be achieved through Mr. Tao Xingzhi’s saying “The ultimate goal of teaching is to teach people to seek truth, the ultimate goal of learning is to be a real person", and the "six liberations" in his educational practice. With the passage of time, Mr. Tao Xingzhi's series of advocacy has not been outdated but rather the "educational utopia" should become a reality now. At the two sessions not long ago, Tang Jiangpeng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People‘s Political Consultative Conference, emphasized in an interview: “Education is not all Mr. Cuiwei Ye about score, let alone the fundamental goal of education.”, which received a series of questioning Mr. Cuiwei Ye has served from the public for being impractical. Indeed, the current social reality, anxiety, loss and hardship as a director and principal regarding education are growing with different opinions on the issue of education. However, if general of Hailiang Inc. everyone has a utopia of education and a long-term vision when discussing education issues, and With the accumulation of find a rational channel and the way forward for education. On the road of exploration, learning from 17 years of experience the strengths of others is an effective way to develop a strong oneself. Therefore, a principal should being the principal of accurately grasp how education goes beyond utilitarian and secular. Hangzhou No.2 High School. Mr. Cuiwei Ye has won the honorary Back to the essence of basic education. Basic education in Japan has always been praised in its title of "Contemporary basic logic for firstly respecting life. When we encounter challenges in life, survival skills and Education Master” with high reputation and rich physical fitness are the most meaningful, not scores and rankings. The implication for this is that we experience in education. must truly return to the essence of basic education, keep children healthy, have good habits, allow children to be calm when facing challenges, stand up when facing setbacks, and let children be willing to share with others in the process of setbacks and take responsibility firstly. This is true education. 1 Monthly Thought from Management People must be creative. Mankind has entered a post-industrial civilization, and a lot of assembly line work have been replaced by robots. And we are just turning people into machines. Current education is to arrange full of training courses for children, squeezing the time for rest and entertainment, and turning children into score copiers. This approach may allow them only to remember knowledge but lose their full creativity. To a large extent, exam-oriented education is an education that responds to current competition and selection. It more or less makes children lose their spirituality and creativity. With the development of the times, what education needs to solve most is not knowledge, not topics, but wisdom, creation, and a larger pattern. We should protect children's natural creativity. The utopia of education can become a reality now. There is such a school: it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is rich in Chinese aesthetics of mountains and rivers and humanistic meaning; it is not only scores, but only talents, and pays attention to “the completion, happiness and future of people”. This school is the Xianghu Future School that Hailiang Education plans to open in September this year. It was founded by a group of people from Hailiang Education. To establish this school, the primary consideration is how to gain the trust of parents and students, and to withstand the baptism of time. We will uphold the education concept of "everyone has talents, everyone will be talent, and all lives are brilliant". Corresponding to the three educational strategies of whether there are different types of education, teaching students according to their aptitude, and each each is in his proper place, from a fair starting point, a fair process to a fair result, forming a good educational closed loop. Secondly, we will follow the basic logic of "people-oriented, connection, leisure, coordination, low-carbon, and creation", and cultivate modern citizens with "Chinese heart, national soul, world vision, future brain, and international style". Xianghu Future School has followed these concepts from the teaching staff, diversified curriculum, to the organic and healthy food supply, and the school brain that empowered by data! In addition, we will aim at the high-level learning and growth of students, and provide children with space to develop, so that every child can "be the best self"! 2 Hailiang Education and Nanjing University Cooperate in Setting up “Hailiang College”, a Talent Training and Development Base.
