The High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University held a lecture on "International Education Development Concept"

On the afternoon of January 24, 2016, Mr. Wang Dianjun, President of the High School Attached to Tsinghua University, gave a lecture entitled "The Development Concept of International Education of the High School Attached to Tsinghua University" to more than 500 parents and students in the lecture hall on the third floor of the cafeteria of the High School。

First of all, President Wang Dianjun shared his views on education, education in China and international education in China。He believes that education has the role of creating opportunities, changing people and achieving people, but the most important thing is to build a platform, build a healthy platform for children or young people to grow up, so that they can develop freely, and Tsinghua High School is also such a school to create a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere and build a harmonious platform。However, back to China's educational environment, there are still some problems at this stage, such as uneven educational development, shortage of high-quality educational resources, relatively unitary evaluation and selection system, highly unified learning content, disconnection between study segments, and difficulty in getting rid of the command of higher education, leading to exam-oriented education and so on。Therefore, both educators, parents and students should take the initiative to find a way out and wisely choose an education that can not only cope with future studies, but also ensure that children are as well-rounded as possible。The choice of international education, like the international practice of comprehensive consideration is one of the directions。

Then, President Wang analyzed the current situation of international education in China from the two dimensions of school-running type and curriculum type。In terms of school types, it can be divided into international classes, international departments, private international schools and foreign children's schools.In terms of course types, there are IB courses, A-LEVEL courses and AP courses。However, Wang stressed that going abroad does not mean that you have to complete the curriculum of a certain system。The international Department of Tsinghua High School is independently developed, rather than copying a British or American curriculum。By data comparison，President Wang pointed out that the number of people paying attention to international education in China is increasing year by year and the group of people going abroad to study is getting younger and younger，Such as young international students were ordered to drop out，Outstanding domestic students are dismissed when they go abroad，Serious psychological problems can not continue to study and foreign exam-oriented education is popular。In order to improve these problems, international educational exchanges need deep thinking and deep integration, rather than copying or only learning "superficial".。At the same time, intermediary agencies should also transform to help plan and guide students' development, and establish a guidance system for Chinese schools。

Tsinghua High School has made a lot of exploration in the field of international education。The first is to participate in promoting the "100,000 Strong Program" between China and the United States to accept more international students。The second is to initiate the establishment of China High school Integrity Alliance, and promote each high school to establish their own guidance system。Third, deepen cooperation and exchanges，先后与美国精英公立高中托马斯·杰佛逊科技高中（Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology）、美国顶尖寄宿制私立学校爱识中学（Asheville School）和美国顶尖文理学院楷识大学（Carthage College）建立国际合作关系，Jointly promote personnel training。The fourth is to establish international schools and gradually expand the scale of international schools。

The international schools established and to be established by the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University include the International Department of the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University (2009), the International School Affiliated to Tsinghua University (Osen) (2015), the International School Affiliated to Tsinghua University (Yuquanshan) (2016), the International School Affiliated to Tsinghua University (Jinzhan) (2017) and the International School Affiliated to Tsinghua University (Daoxianghu) (2017).。In addition, in Tianjin, Shanghai, Qingdao, Hainan, Shenzhen and other places, there will be international education practice of Tsinghua Affiliated High School。
