Distinguished Professor of Nagoya University, Japan, founding member of the Humboldt ForumXue Jinjun, Deputy Secretary-General of the Chinese Education Society, Distinguished Professor of Capital Normal UniversityGao Shuguo,Beijing Jiaotong UniversityProsperity in Tang DynastyProfessor, Shanghai Normal UniversityLi TingzhouProfessor, Zhejiang UniversityQue MingkunResearcher, guest reporters from Xinhua News Agency, Guangming Daily, China Education News, Beijing News, China Daily, Beijing Daily, China Youth Daily and other media, members of the "Global Education Center City Evaluation" project team of the w88 casino, and teachers and students of the World Important Education Center Research Institute attended the forum.
The special report session was given by the Vice President of the Research Institute of the World's Important Education CenterZhang HaisenProfessor presided over.Xue Jinjunpointed out that one of the basic conditions for an important education center in the world is whether it can attract foreign students to settle and study. The leap from a big country in education to a powerful country in education should be finally achieved through the cultivation of the spirit of educators, the dissemination of the ideas of key figures, and the optimization of the urban environment.Gao Shuguostated that the World Education Center is a country or city that plays a central role and plays a leading role in the process of global education reform and development. It is an important center for educational thought innovation, source center of educational reform, high-quality education development center and educational scientific research center in the world.
Member of the "Global Education Center City Evaluation" project teamChen JianweiResearchers believe that globalization has entered a new stage,The transnational flow of knowledge, technology and talents has become an important driving force for world development. The world's important education center cities are strategic nodes in the global system's connection network. They gather, integrate and develop top knowledge, talents and innovative elements on a global scale to provide continuous driving force for the high-quality development of the global system. They not only need to have world-class university clusters, but also must have strong scientific research strength, active innovative industries and an open cultural environment. The city is an indispensable ecosystem for innovation. It provides the most fertile soil for the collision of ideas, cross-border cooperation, and the industrial transformation of knowledge.Excellence in education and scientific research must ultimately be deeply integrated into the urban economic ecology in order to burst out the greatest energy. "Global Education Center City Evaluation" project team membersYuan KeThe professor pointed out that a world education center city, in short, refers to a city or city group that has significant advantages in education supply opportunities, various educational resources, educational development quality, educational influence, etc., and plays a leading and radiating role in education on a regional or global scale.A sound evaluation index system for the world’s important education center cities should not only pay attention to the current development and contribution of education, but also the support and inclusiveness of education in the future。Four Level 1Indicator7551_7646
In order to explore an objective picture of global education center cities from a new perspective, and thereby provide reference for my country to build an important education center with global influence, the World Important Education Center Research Institute of the w88 casino established the "Global Education Center Cities Evaluation" project team. Experts from multiple research fields were brought together, and with the support of the w88 casino's Scientific Research Office, after one year of repeated discussions, rigorous indicator design, and multiple rounds of argumentation, a set of scientific evaluation indicator systems that were internationally comparable, academically forward-looking, and practical in guidance were finally constructed. The result, "Top 100 Global Education Center Cities (2025)," was released at the meeting. The ranking release session was conducted by the Executive Dean of the World Important Education Center Research InstituteZhou YutongHosted by researcher. Leader of the “Global Education Center City Evaluation” project teamHuang HaigangResearchers released the list of "Top 100 Global Education Center Cities (2025)". She pointed out that judging from the evaluation results,China is the country with the densest distribution of educational center cities in Asia and the highest overall ranking. A total of 16 cities were selected. Beijing and Shanghai ranked 3rd and 9th on the list respectively, ranking among the top 10;The educational central cities in Japan and South Korea are both capitals or economic centers. For example, Seoul in South Korea ranks 5th, and Tokyo in Japan ranks 13th. This reflects the deep binding and mutual empowerment of educational resources and urban development. From a country perspective, the United States has the largest number of cities selected, ranking first with 19 cities, and China ranks second with 16 cities. In addition, Germany (7), the United Kingdom (4), Switzerland (4), Canada (4), South Korea (3), Australia (3), Sweden (3), the Netherlands (3) and other countries have three or more education center cities selected. From the perspective of distribution across continents, Europe ranks first with 39 cities, becoming the continent with the most education center cities in the world; Asia ranks second with 29 cities, showing a strong development trend; North America ranks third with 24 cities; Oceania, South America, and Africa have 4, 2, and 2 cities respectively shortlisted for the top 100.
Member of the "Global Education Center City Evaluation" project teamLu FuyongAssociate researcher released the second part of the "Top 100 Global Education Center Cities (2025)". He analyzed the logic and theoretical basis behind the indicator system, introduced 4 first-level indicators, 12 second-level indicators, and 24 third-level indicators. From the four dimensions of educational development, educational contribution, educational support, and educational service, respectively, the ranking of the top 100 cities in each first-level indicator, the second-level indicator scores of the top 20 cities, and the performance of Chinese cities in them. He pointed out that Chinese cities generally have outstanding performance in the dimensions of educational contribution and educational support, and perform well in the field of educational development. However, some cities have shortcomings and deficiencies in the field of educational service. Chinese cities have relatively outstanding performance in key indicators such as the total investment in urban education funding, the number of patent authorizations, and the number of top academic papers. However, there is still room for improvement in the third-level indicators under educational service such as the number of international conferences and the size of international students.
The roundtable forum session was led by members of the "Global Education Center City Evaluation" project teamSu LifengHosted by researcher.Experts and scholars such as Gao Shuguo, Tang Daisheng, Li Tingzhou, Que Mingkun, Chen Jianwei, Yuan Ke, Xue XinlongCarry out discussions and exchanges around "City Construction as a Global Education Center".Gao ShuguoFirstHighly affirmed the research on "Evaluation of Global Education Center Cities" and believed that it has pioneering value, especially in terms of data acquisition and system construction, which reflects scientificity and sustainability. He emphasized that this research should not stop at the "physical examination" of data, but should also dig deeper into the problems behind the data and solve the problems that Chinese cities have in the process of building important education center cities in the world.Sheng in Tang DynastyThink,The "Global Education Center City Evaluation" study provides an important reference for the development of urban education and is a study with a sense of social responsibility and mission, affirming the scientific nature of the indicator system, especially the supporting role of urban livable environment in education under the educational service capability indicator.
Li TingzhouThink,The "Global Education Center City Evaluation" is an initiative of great cultural confidence and strategic significance, providing a platform for China to set topics and make its own voice heard in the field of international education. He suggested that the study should be published continuously and in multiple languages, so as to continue to enhance China's voice and influence in the world and allow the world to understand China's educational development from a more comprehensive perspective.Que MingkunPoint out,The "Evaluation of Global Education Center Cities" research has a broad vision and pattern, fully embodies the core idea of "looking beyond education to education", incorporates the city's economic, social and environmental support into the evaluation system, and reflects the two key perspectives of education's contribution to the city and the city's support for education. This is very different from previous research ideas that simply focused on internal indicators of education. He suggested that in the future, qualitative analysis should be combined to explain in depth some seemingly "abnormal" phenomena such as the possible "asynchronicity" in the relationship between education and urban development, so as to provide the public and city managers with more insightful analysis.
Chen JianweiExplained the core concept of the "Global Education Center City Evaluation", that is, the coordinated development of the "trinity" of education, technology and talents, and regarded it as a key criterion for measuring the future development of the city. He pointed out that the close integration of the three is the fundamental driving force for cities to achieve sustainable growth.Yuan Kemeans,The world's important education center cities must be gathering places for advanced productivity, advanced technology, advanced culture and advanced educational ideas. This requires integrating into the forefront of science and technology, constantly using scientific and technological achievements to create new tracks, emerge new industries, and form new productive forces. "Global Education Center City Evaluation" project team membersXue XinlongAssociate researcher said that "building a powerful country in education" and "building an important education center in the world" are two aspects of the same problem, and the former needs the support of the latter. At the same time, he pointed out that the comprehensive evaluation idea of the report is mainly to see whether the integrated development of education, science and technology, and talents has been achieved, emphasizing the empowering role of education in urban scientific and technological innovation and economic development. "Educational development power" reflects the sum of the internal motivation, resource base and future potential of the urban education system to achieve its educational goals and promote the all-round development of society and individuals. It not only represents the education level of the region in the current period, but also reflects the sustainable development ability of the urban education system in the future period to a certain extent; "educational contribution" reflects the empowerment of education for urban talent growth, technological innovation and economic development, and reflects the dynamic adaptability of the urban education system to industrial structure, population endowment and development needs.
Through the discussion, the experts at the meeting agreed that: the first release of the "Top 100 Global Education Center Cities" established an innovative and forward-looking evaluation system, provided a scientific reference for global education layout and urban development, and played an important role in accelerating the construction of an important education center with global influence and promoting the strategy of strengthening the country through education.(Written by: He Jialiang and Zhou Yutong Reviewed by: Zhou Yutong)
