The 2017 Annual Conference of Education Forum for Asia has further brought the attention of Asian countries to education, science and technology, as well as talents, highlighting international collaboration and communication in education and science and technology. We hope that the Conference would serve as a platform so that  grass-root teachers will have more opportunities to bring about practical educational problems, teaching methodology would be improved, Chengdu could initiate more dialogues with the world to deepen its communication and collaboration with the world. The Conference would drive the internationalization of west China’s education, to enhance the communication and collaboration between west China and the world. Educators of Asian countries could gather together to discuss the relationship between education and economy and social development, to explore the new way to achieve a balanced growth in Asian education, and to enable Asian countries to complement to each other with their educational advantages, making significant contributions to a more sustainable development of Asian education.
