The IFERD Forum responded to the new demand for national education reform and development in the new era, providing a great communicative platform for national education workers especially those in the Greater Bay Area to implement education and teaching reform and innovate educational philosophy and models. It was beneficial to push forward the exploration of education reform in the 13th Five-Year Plan. This forum was a great academic event with profound influence, which contributed to global educational informationization and education reform.
