SCNU launched the Second Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area Teachers' Professional Ethics Forum to explore a long-term mechanism for teachers’ morality development on November 25.
The forum focused on the discussion of the establishment of a more effective long-term mechanism through developing a pre-service and post-service training mode for teachers with high consistency, as well as an efficient cooperation paradigm in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area for the post-pandemic era.
“Teachers are the foundation of education, and a professional ethic is the most important quality for a good teacher,” SCNU president Wang Enke stressed at the ceremony. With plentiful expert resources, long-term research and practical experience, the base provides a comprehensive platform and various forms of training, which offers practical diagnostic and consulting services for the development of teachers' ethics regionally, according to president Wang.
Li Biliang, director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education, said that the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education always puts the development of teachers’ morality as the top priority of the building of a teaching team, and works on establishing a working mechanism that combines education, publicity, assessment, supervision, rewards and punishment.
“Under no circumstances should we give up the base line of teaching,” Gu Mingyuan of the National Advisory Council on Education emphasized. He said he hopes that SCNU can make the Teachers' Ethics Development Base a fine example for teacher’s professional ethics training, establishing an equitable and inclusive development model, with primary and secondary school teachers as its main serving target, while bring benefits to other colleges and universities in the Great Bay Area and southern China.
The event also saw the unveiling ceremony of the Teachers' Ethics Development Base and the appointment ceremony of its academic committee members.
The event, which was broadcast live, was organized by SCNU under the guidance of the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Department of Education of Guangdong province, and attracted over 200 scholars, school principals and teachers from across the country.
The The SCNU national training program won the first prize as the best practicing project.
