She pointed out that private schools with international characteristics are an important part of the capital's high-quality basic education resources. They have played a positive role in promoting the capital's education opening to the outside world and innovative development, and provided important support and guarantee for serving the capital's "four centers" functional construction and the construction of high-level talent highlands. Currently, under the multiple influences of the scientific and technological revolution, changes in the population situation, and the complex and ever-changing international environment, the development of private schools with international characteristics is facing opportunities and challenges. It is hoped that this seminar will strengthen exchanges and cooperation in theoretical research, legal practice and w88 casino running practice, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of private schools with international characteristics.
In the theme sharing session, lawyer Tian Fengle, a partner of Beijing Zhongdun Law Firm, shared his thoughts on common legal issues in running international private schools based on his years of experience in providing legal services to private schools. Key points It explains the legal risks that should be paid attention to in terms of the operation model of international private schools, fee refunds, and labor relations of foreign teachers.

In the expert discussion session, experts from different international education groups introduced the w88 casino-running experience of their respective schools and conducted in-depth discussions on the current situation and challenges faced by the development of international private schools. From the overall situation, in the past two years, affected by many factors such as changes in the international situation and declining family income, the number of students in some private schools with international characteristics has shown a downward trend. At the same time, the costs of running schools such as personnel salaries have continued to rise, and the situation faced by w88 casino development has become increasingly severe. Experts put forward suggestions based on this. First, focus on diverse needs, enrich the curriculum system, and offer diversified courses that meet the needs of different countries and regions for further studies. Some schools can establish a "dual-track" model for domestic studies and study abroad. Second, adhere to reform and innovation, make good use of the w88 casino's autonomy in running schools, and cultivate a spirit of national responsibility, international vision, and innovation. The third is to accelerate digital empowerment and deeply apply artificial intelligence technology to provide all-round student, teaching, research, and management assistance to improve w88 casino management efficiency and help better achieve personalized, distinctive, and international education goals. The fourth is to create a good environment. Schools should "keep together for warmth", be compliant and self-disciplined, and do a good job in handling complaints and responding to public opinion. Strengthen the construction of industry associations and build a healthy development ecosystem for private schools with international characteristics. Experts participating in the meeting also put forward relevant policy suggestions from aspects such as organizer changes, taxation, student withdrawal placement, foreign teacher management, teacher training, government support measures, etc.
At the end of the meeting, researcher Qu Yifan shared the research results of the project. She pointed out that in recent years, the capital has introduced relevant policies in order to optimize the business environment, stimulate the vitality of private schools with international characteristics, and attract and gather outstanding talents at home and abroad. Overall, the quality of running private schools with international characteristics in the capital is high, and the development environment continues to improve. Under the current complex situation, private schools with international characteristics must handle the relationship between the uncertainty of the external environment and the certainty of high-quality development, maintain the bottom line of educational safety, run schools in accordance with laws and regulations, strengthen risk prevention and control, integrate the essence of Chinese and foreign education, adhere to high-quality and characteristic development, and provide new development space, new models, and new ideas for the construction of a high-quality education system in the capital. The follow-up research team will further deepen the investigation of private schools with international characteristics and play a good role as a think tank in providing advice and suggestions for promoting high-quality international education in the capital.
