(Professor Zhao Jianhua)
SUSTech has been deeply exploring the practice of reforming the innovation mechanism of teacher education in recent years. In July 2024, SUSTech became the second batch of pilot universities of the "National Excellent Primary and Secondary School Teacher Training Program" (hereinafter referred to as the "National Excellence Program"). The school focuses on the cross-cutting advantages of science and engineering medical disciplines, actively promotes the optimization of the curriculum system, emphasizes the training of practical platforms and interdisciplinary innovation capabilities, and creates a future-oriented teacher education support system. The school has continued to expand its international cooperation network, launched the "Shenzhen International Alliance of Friendly Cities Universities", built the UNESCO Center for Innovation in Higher Education (ICHEI), and officially joined the Alliance of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) in 2025 to build a multi-level and sustainable global education collaboration platform. The school fully supports ICHEI in building the International Institute of Online Education (IIOE), in-depth cooperation with universities and enterprises in Asia and Africa, promotes the sharing of curriculum resources and the improvement of teachers' abilities, and promotes the self-development capacity of cooperative regional education. At the same time, relying on the ICHEI university cooperation platform, we actively explore a new model of teacher education in which universities, enterprises and international organizations participate in synergy, develop integrated curricula and teaching tools, implement the international implementation of the smart classroom project, and gradually form a model of global teacher education cooperation that can be promoted and sustainable.
The successful selection of Professor Zhao Jianhua is not only a high recognition by the Ministry of Education of his personal deep research accumulation and practical contributions in the field of teacher education, but also a full affirmation of SUSTech's achievements in deepening teacher education innovation and reform and building a high-quality teacher education system in recent years. In the future work, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of SUSTech will take this as an important opportunity to closely focus on the strategic deployment of the national teacher team construction and the reform of the teacher education innovation mechanism, based on the cross-integration advantages of the humanities and social sciences, educational technology, artificial intelligence and other fields, give full play to the "new liberal arts" characteristics of the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences, further highlight the disciplinary value and contribution of the humanities and social sciences in serving the process of national education modernization, and pass on the "wisdom of Nanke".
