He hopes that the 100tal Education Research Institute can have a forward-looking perspective and truly make forward-looking research contributions to human development.

Professor Zhi Tingjin, Deputy Dean of the National Education Macroeconomic Policy Research Institute at East China Normal University, proposed her own suggestions on practical issues such as "what issues should the education research institute research?", "why research these issues?", and "how to conduct research?". She emphasized that the 100tal Education Research Institute should highlight the company's positioning and industry characteristics, utilize technological and data advantages, continuously summarize and refine successful experiences from practice, and make valuable research results.

Professor Zhou Haitao from Beijing Normal University proposed that the education research institute should comprehensively fulfill three types of functions: "upward", "downward", and "internal", and focus on "policy in the short term, talent in the medium term, culture in the long term, guiding philosophy throughout". He actively explored working mechanisms, implemented a series of institutional mechanisms such as cooperation, project, publication, incentive, and application mechanisms, and conducted extensive cooperation with governments, universities, and social think tanks to solidify truly good results and promote them.
