The 10th Global China Dialogue (GCD X)
Governance for Global Education

Friday, 5th December 2025
8:30-17:30, GCD X：Beatrice Webb Room, The British Academy, UK

Following the successful hosting of nine previous Global China Dialogue Forums, the 10th Global China Dialogue — Governance for Global Education — will take place on Friday, 5 December 2025, at the British Academy in London. This Dialogue will focus on how policy coordination, international cooperation, equity assurance, quality enhancement, and institutional innovation can together advance the sustainable development of global education.

As a cornerstone for achieving social justice, fostering global prosperity, and responding to future transformations, education increasingly relies on cross-border collaboration, multi-stakeholder engagement, and technological empowerment. In the context of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data reshaping educational models and learning ecosystems, global education governance is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities.

This Dialogue will provide an inclusive platform for policymakers, scholars, educators, business leaders, and international organisations to engage in meaningful exchange on new visions, mechanisms, and pathways for global education governance. A key dimension throughout the discussions will be the comparative analysis of national education systems and governance cultures, aimed at promoting cross-cultural understanding and mutual learning, and enriching both the theoretical foundation and practical knowledge of global education governance.

The GCD X include the following four panels:

• Panel 1 Governance Innovation and Technological Empowerment explores collaborative governance, model innovation, and the use of AI, big data, and digital platforms in education.
• Panel 2 Educational Equity, Inclusion, and Quality Assurance focuses on protecting rights, promoting research integrity, and improving quality through assessments, certification, and teacher training.
• Panel 3 Global Education Policy and International Cooperation covers policy frameworks, the role of international organizations, and cross-border collaboration through university alliances and digital platforms.
• Panel 4 Education Financing and Sustainable Development highlights financing mechanisms, international aid, and the integration of education with technology and industry to support innovation and inclusive growth.

Through diverse perspectives and cross-sector dialogue, the 10th Global China Dialogue aims to contribute both Chinese insights and international experience to global education governance, working together to build a fairer, higher-quality, more inclusive, and sustainable global education ecosystem.
