Education plays a crucial role in shaping society and is largely responsible for the advancement of civilization and human well-being. China and the rest of the world look to Columbia for fresh theories and solutions that can make a significant impact.
Given the importance of educational issues for audiences in the region and globally, the Beijing Global Center features the research of Columbia scholars and organizes dialogues between them and local scholars and practitioners to foster the exchange of ideas and stimulate changes in practices. We frequently host global education leaders, scholars, and entrepreneurs to discuss the role of education and educators in nurturing global competence in today’s interconnected world and how they can continually innovate and improve educational outcomes.
