Education Forum for Asia aims to establish a high-level platform for dialogue on education development issues and supports education policies and international cooperation through innvovative programs. In addition, the forum will continue to explore the issues and individual communicaties, while increasing mutual understanding among countries through cultural and academic exchanges.
The idea for Education Forum for Asia was hatched in the autumn of 2002. The China Scholarship Council and Boao Forum for Asia joined with UNESCO to collaborate on developing a conference fucused on international education and the development of global talent and humen resource in the Asia region. In cooperation with the Chinese Ministry of Education, all three organizations worked to further develop these ideas into the creation on an Education Forum.

On December 5-6, 2003, the Meeting of Initiators for the Education Forum for Asia was held in Beijing. The meeting was honored by the attendance of 95 delegates from 19 countries and regions representing governmental bodies, international organizations, multinational companies, and education institutions.
In accordance with the forum's mission, through its development in recent years, Education Forum for Asia has gained greater and greater acceptance from education circles in Asia and around the world. It is recognized as a standing body that welcomes learned, influential public figures and organizations willing to make significant contributions to our work in variety of ways, thereby enabling Education Forum for Asia to reach its full potential and exert geater influence on education in Asia and the world. In this way, the forum will fully realize its aim of "Building Briges for Asian Education".
