On November 25th, one of the most anticipated sessions of the Future Education Conference, "New TAL Forum," resumed. At the "New TAL Forum," two education industry leaders—New Oriental Chairman Yu Minhong and TAL Education Group's Founder and CEO Zhang Bangxin, came together once again after two years. They discussed the temperature of education and promoted educational equity from various perspectives, including technology, industry, and themselves.

"Education is for the public, to benefit the world." One of the goals of exploring education for the common future is to promote educational equity. At the first "New TAL Forum" two years ago, the two parties announced their joint investment in the establishment of the "Qingxiyuanshan" Charity Foundation to promote balanced development of education in impoverished areas. In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and the Qingxiyuanshan Charity Foundation has achieved surprising results, attracting more and more partners to join.

TAL Education Group's Co-Founder and President Bai Yunfeng delivered a keynote speech on "Gathering Top Global Talents to Achieve the Great Educational Dream." Bai Yunfeng stated that TAL Education Group upholds the educational philosophy of "inspiring interest, cultivating habits, shaping character," and aims to cultivate lifelong skills in children. He pointed out that the Internet has given wings to quality education, crossing mountains and rivers to promote educational equity. The arrival of the AI era has brought new changes to education. For future-oriented education, TAL Education Group has always believed that technology is the core support and talent is the core driving force, but the ultimate goal of education has always remained unchanged. In conclusion, Bai Yunfeng called on top talents from various fields around the world to join the education industry.
