They shared experiences and practices in talent cultivation from their respective schools. They emphasized that teachers need to continually update their educational philosophies, master new technologies, and enhance their teaching abilities to better meet the demands of talent cultivation in the new era.
In her concluding remarks, Vice President Zhang Ling pointed out that efficiently cultivating outstanding talent is a key theme in higher education today.
