Ms. Nunuk Suryani, Director of the Teacher Division, Ministry of Education of Indonesia, along with over 200 educational officials, teacher educators, principals, and teachers from 34 provinces of Indonesia, attended the forum. Researcher Li Tingzhou, representing the UNESCO Teacher Education Centre, was invited to attend and deliver a keynote speech.
Li Tingzhou delivered a keynote speech themed Curriculum Reform in China: Concept, Practice and Controversy, in which he discussed the theoretical presuppositions, process, practical models, and existing controversies of China's basic education curriculum reform, and engaged in interactive exchanges with the participants.
After the forum, Li Tingzhou visited Darul Muttaqien School in Banten Province, Indonesia, where he exchanged views with the principal, teachers, and students on topics such as school-running philosophies, teaching models, and teacher development in China and Indonesia.
