Comprehensively Advance Digital-Intelligent Technology to Empower Educational Transformation

Through an underwater robot operation virtual simulation practice platform, students majoring in ship engineering can immersively master its operation and workflow; children learning calligraphy can use AI to conduct stroke-by-stroke brushwork analysis against model inscriptions; distant cultural heritage sites such as the Louvre, with the help of extended reality technology, are “moved” before students’ eyes…

通过水下机器人作业虚仿实践平台，船舶工程专业的学生可以沉浸式掌握其操作及作业流程；学习书法的孩子，可以通过AI对照碑帖逐字作笔法分析；远在天边的卢浮宫等文化遗产，在扩展现实技术的助力下，被“搬”到学生眼前……

Recently, the 2025 World Digital Education Conference was held in Wuhan. At the education digitalization achievements exhibition held concurrently, sets of vivid data and pieces of lively exhibits dynamically presented China’s rich practices and fruitful results in vigorously advancing the national education digitalization strategy, causing many to exclaim that they were “greatly enlightened.”

日前，2025世界数字教育大会在武汉举办。在此间举办的教育数字化成果展上，一组组生动数据、一件件鲜活展品，生动呈现了我国大力推进教育数字化战略的丰富实践和丰硕成果，让不少人直呼“大开眼界”。

Humanity becomes civilized through education, and education develops through technology. Throughout the history of human development, education and technology have mutually shaped each other, exerting profound impacts on human civilization and educational forms. In the oral era, educational technology of individualized instruction shaped educational forms such as private schools and academies centered on the apprenticeship model. In the printing era, literacy became an essential skill, shaping the modern school education form centered on the collective classroom lecture model. At present, artificial intelligence, as a strategic technology leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, profoundly changes human production and lifestyle, knowledge supply models, and scientific research and innovation paradigms, driving fundamental changes and comprehensive reshaping of educational field space, organizational structure, subject relationships, and operational models.

人类因教育而文明，教育因科技而发展。纵观人类发展史，教育与技术相互形塑，给人类文明和教育形态带来深远影响。在口语时代，个别化指导的教育技术塑造了以学徒模式为核心的私塾、书院等教育形态。印刷时代，读写成为必备技能，塑造了以班级集体讲授模式为核心的现代学校教育形态。当下，人工智能作为引领新一轮科技革命和产业变革的战略性技术，深刻改变人类生产生活方式、知识供给模式和科研创新范式，驱动教育场域空间、组织架构、主体关系、运作模式等发生根本性变革和全方位重塑。

Comprehensively advancing digital-intelligent technology to empower educational transformation is a common choice of countries worldwide. In September 2023, UNESCO released the *Guidance for Generative AI in Education and Research*, profoundly analyzing the fundamental impact of generative AI on education. South Korea, with the goal of becoming a “global leader” in AI education, proposed in 2019 to establish a universal AI education system and promote AI textbooks in primary and secondary schools. The UK Department for Education, in turn, released *Generative AI in Education* in 2024, emphasizing that the education sector should fully utilize new technologies to provide students with high-quality education.

全面推进数智技术赋能教育变革，是世界各国的共同选择。2023年9月，联合国教科文组织发布《教育与研究领域生成式人工智能指南》，深刻分析生成式人工智能对教育的根本影响。韩国以人工智能教育“全球领跑者”为目标，于2019年提出建立全民化人工智能教育体系，并在中小学推广人工智能教科书。英国教育部则于2024年发布《教育中的生成式人工智能》，强调教育部门应充分利用新技术为学生提供优质教育。

A strong educational nation is empowered by wisdom. The Party and the state have always attached great importance to the impact of technology on educational transformation. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the National Education Conference that it is necessary to “thoroughly implement the national education digitalization strategy.” As important policy deployments for implementing the national education digitalization strategy, the Central Committee and relevant ministries and commissions have successively issued documents such as the *Outline of the Plan for Building a Strong Educational Nation (2024–2035)*, the *Opinions on Accelerating the Advancement of Education Digitalization*, and the *Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Primary and Secondary School Students (2025 Edition)*, clarifying the practical path for the development of education digitalization.

教育强国，智慧赋能。党和国家历来高度重视科技对教育变革的影响。习近平总书记在全国教育大会上强调，要“深入实施国家教育数字化战略”。作为贯彻落实国家教育数字化战略的重要政策部署，中央和相关部委陆续出台《教育强国建设规划纲要（2024—2035年）》《关于加快推进教育数字化的意见》《中小学生成式人工智能使用指南（2025年版）》等文件，为教育数字化发展明确了实践路径。

This year marks the third anniversary of the implementation of China’s education digitalization strategic action. Over the past three years, with the in-depth advancement of the national education digitalization strategy, China’s education cause has shown a vigorous atmosphere with the help of technology. At present, the overall level of China’s educational modernization development has entered the ranks of upper-middle countries in the world; it has built the world’s largest educational teaching resource library, with the page views of the Smart Education of China platform exceeding 60.8 billion; it has built the world’s largest number and largest-scale application of MOOC systems, with the “Western MOOC Tour Plan” benefiting 590 million student visits in the western region… However, objectively speaking, compared with world educational powers, China still has limitations such as a relatively low proportion of high-skilled talent, insufficient coverage of high-quality educational resources, and insufficient digital literacy of teachers and students. To fully build a strong educational nation, we need to respond to the situation and seize the momentum, using intelligent technology to leverage the overall transformation of the entire educational chain and empower the overall leap of education in the intelligent era.

今年是我国教育数字化战略行动实施三周年。三年来，随着国家教育数字化战略的纵深推进，我国教育事业在科技助力下展现出蓬勃气象。目前，我国教育现代化发展总体水平跨入世界中上国家行列；建成世界第一大教育教学资源库，国家智慧教育公共服务平台浏览量突破608亿；建成世界数量最多和应用规模最大的慕课体系，“慕课西部行计划”西部受益学生达5.9亿人次……不过客观来看，对比世界教育强国，我国仍存在高技能人才占比偏低、优质教育资源覆盖面不足、师生数字素养不足等局限。全面建成教育强国，需要我们应势而动、乘势而上，以智能技术撬动教育全链条整体性变革，赋能智能时代教育整体性跃升。

To seize the momentum and advance intelligent technology to empower educational development and transformation, the vast number of educators need to adhere to correct value orientations. When facing a broader educational field, more flexible educational forms, and more complex educational relationships, they must always grasp the dialectical relationship between education and intelligent technology, firmly adhere to the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education [1]1 “Fostering virtue through education” (立德树人) is a core principle of Chinese education policy, emphasizing moral character cultivation as the foundation of talent development. and the value orientation of putting people first, and unswervingly cultivate socialist builders and successors who are well-developed morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and labor-wise. Embrace the opportunities for change with an open attitude, actively explore the opportunities and timing contained in changes in the educational field, educational forms, educational means, learning methods, organizational forms, and evaluation mechanisms in the era of AI, integrate AI technology into all elements and the entire process of education, teaching, and talent cultivation, promote education digitalization to comprehensively assist learning, teaching, research, and management, follow the trend to deepen international exchanges and cooperation, and continuously enhance the ability and level of education to serve economic and social development in the AI era.

乘势而上推进智能技术赋能教育发展与变革，需要广大教育工作者坚守正确价值取向，在面对更加广阔的教育场域、更加灵活的教育形态和更加复杂的教育关系时，始终把握好教育与智能技术的辩证关系，牢牢坚持立德树人根本任务和以人为本的价值取向，坚定不移培养德智体美劳全面发展的社会主义建设者和接班人。以开放之姿把握变革机遇，积极探究人工智能时代教育场域、教育形态、教育手段、学习方式、组织形式、评价机制等方面变革蕴含的时与机，将人工智能技术融入教育教学和人才培养全要素、全过程，推动教育数字化全方位助学、助教、助研、助管，顺势深化国际交流与合作，不断提升人工智能时代教育服务经济社会发展能力水平。

In addition, it is also necessary to continuously enhance capacity and literacy, practice the lifelong learning concept of “live and learn,” strengthen learning on AI ethics, intelligent technology application capabilities, and digital-intelligent information discernment ability, so as to better adapt to the AI era. Continuously improve the digital leadership and command ability of educational administrators, the digital teaching ability and scientific research ability of teachers, and the higher-order thinking ability and innovation ability of students, jointly promote high-quality development of education, and then advance the construction of a strong socialist educational nation with Chinese characteristics, providing strong support for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

此外，还应持续提升能力素养，践行“活到老、学到老”的终身学习理念，加强人工智能伦理、智能技术应用能力以及数智信息辨识力学习，以更好适应人工智能时代。不断提升教育管理者的数字化领导力和驾驭力、教师的数字教学能力和科研能力、学生的高阶思维能力和创新能力，共同推进教育高质量发展，进而推进中国特色社会主义教育强国建设，为实现中华民族伟大复兴提供有力支撑。
