With a future vision, cultivate global talents The founder of Langsheng Education attended the 22nd Shanghai Education Expo

 

Amid the convergence of globalization and digitalization, education's mission is undergoing unprecedented transformation. The 22nd Shanghai Education Expo, recently inaugurated in 2025, has captured the era's new expectations for education through its theme "AI Empowers Education, Intelligence Shapes the Future".

 

Mr.Ping, founder of Langsheng Education and co-founder of the Shanghai Concord Education Development Foundation and Shanghai Concord Bilingual School, delivered a speech titled "Cultivating Future-Ready Scientific Literacy and Global Competitiveness" at the thematic exchange event "International Practices in Integrating Eastern —— and Western Science Education."

 

Mr.Ping spoke

Foresee the future and reshape the educational landscape

 

Mr.Ping points out that the world of tomorrow's children will be a world woven together by four key variables:

Revolutionary breakthroughs in basic science: quantum computers can complete tasks that take 10,000 years for traditional supercomputers in 200 seconds, graphene can disrupt many industries, and gene editing can conquer terminal diseases, making "impossible" become "daily".

 

The exponential iteration of technological tools: AI to help drug discovery, Starlink to empower education, and solid-state batteries to open a new chapter in energy, are shifting the workplace from "remembering knowledge" to "creating knowledge."

 

The contradictions and opportunities of globalization coexist: trade friction and transnational cooperation coexist, and competition expands from around us to the whole world.

 

Profound changes in population structure: fewer children, aging, and immigration are reshaping society, and cross-cultural cooperation and human-machine collaboration are becoming the norm.

 

Faced with such a future, the traditional mode of knowledge transmission has been difficult to cope with the challenge. Mr.Ping proposed: "Education must focus on the social needs of 20 years from now", cultivating innovators who can solve complex problems and have cross-cultural communication skills, rather than mere knowledge holders."

Breaking the deadlock

Four skills to develop future leaders

 

1

Critical thinking: Analyzing the essence of information

Critical thinking is a powerful tool for in-depth analysis of information. When faced with complex social phenomena or scientific problems, students with critical thinking will not blindly follow the surface view, but examine the reliability of evidence and the rationality of argument from multiple dimensions.

 

2

Inquiry spirit: ignite the passion for exploration

The spirit of inquiry is the source of knowledge application and innovation. Through the study of knowledge and its generation methods, students can apply what they have learned flexibly to new situations.

 

3

Cultural literacy: build a solid foundation of science

Cultural literacy forms the bedrock of scientific competence. Langsheng Education recognizes that scientific knowledge is deeply rooted in social and cultural contexts. By cultivating students' cultural awareness, we empower them to grasp knowledge holistically while demonstrating adaptability and inclusivity in multicultural environments.

 

4

Global vision and empathy: building bridges

In this era of globalization, it is crucial to have a global perspective and the ability to empathize. Students need to understand different cultures, political, economic, and social systems to effectively communicate and collaborate on the global stage. Empathy helps them understand others' thoughts and feelings, enabling effective teamwork.

 

In this era of uncertainty, Langsheng Education is ready to work with parents to open the door to the future for their children with critical thinking, inquiry spirit, cultural literacy, global vision and empathy, so that they can grow into innovators and leaders who can meet challenges and lead the times.

 

Choosing Langsheng Education is to empower the future of children, so that they can sail confidently and break the waves in the tide of globalization!
