Entrusted by the UNESCO Teachers Task Force, the expert team of the Centre, including Professor Zhang Minxuan, Associate Professor Bian Cui, Associate Professor Song Jia, and Dr. Sun Yang, contributed cases of China’s teacher development to the report. These cases cover how China attracts students to pursue teaching careers, improves teachers’ social status and benefits, implements the public-funded normal student program, and advances the rural teacher support program, providing China’s experience for countries worldwide in supplementing their teaching workforce.

The Centre has always adhered to its four functions: knowledge production, capacity building, technical services, and information sharing. It actively participates in global teacher development affairs, tells stories of China’s education and teachers well, and promotes the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. Going forward, the Centre will continue to strengthen its close ties with UNESCO around global teacher development, serving knowledge production and sharing in the field of global teacher development.
