The Event

Three years ago, Yale Center Beijing hosted the Yale Education Forum where veteran educators and Yale parents discussed the future of education. This year, three of the speakers—Sally Shan '97 MBA, Martin Ma '07 PhD, and Wang Shi, Vice President at Tsinghua Daoxiang School—will hold an online reunion on June 24 to continue the discussion and share new insights. They’ll continue to discuss fundamental questions such as what is a good education; what is the essence of education; and how will education develop in the future?
