Call for Papers
Following nine successful Global China Dialogue (GCD) Forums, the 10th GCD (GCD10) – ‘Governance for Global Education’ – will be held at the British Academy on Friday, 5 December 2025. GCD10 will focus on how to promote sustainable development in education worldwide through policy coordination, international cooperation, equity assurance, quality improvement, and institutional innovation.
As a vital foundation for achieving social justice, fostering global prosperity, and addressing future transformations, education increasingly relies on cross-border collaboration, multi-stakeholder engagement, and technological empowerment. In particular, with the profound impact of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data reshaping educational models and learning ecosystems, global education governance faces both unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
This Dialogue will provide a platform for diverse conversations, bringing together policymakers, scholars, educators, business leaders, and representatives from international organizations to explore new ideas, mechanisms, and pathways for global education governance.
The GCD X include the following four panels:
- Panel 1 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 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 Governance Innovation and Technological Empowerment, it explores collaborative governance, model innovation, and the use of AI, big data, and digital platforms in education.
- Panel 4 Education Financing and Sustainable Development: it 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.
