Huang Daoming, vice dean of the College of Teacher Education, introduced the college, its talent training and exchange programs. He noted that as the first college for teacher education in China, the College has been aiming to develop teacher education for both pre-service and in-service teachers in an integrated way. Functioning both in training educational talents and talent management, the College now undertakes several national and provincial training programs, including the Educational Leadership Learning Exchange ("ELLE") program, "the National Cultivation Plan", and the Guangdong Provincial Hundred and Thousand and Ten-Thousand Talent Project. In future cooperation with the Vocational Training Council, Huang hopes for more innovative ways of teacher training in high-end training programs.
