No, this is a parent-teacher meeting being held at Wanhui School in Dujiangyan City.

The meeting was chaired by Li Sheng, the principal of Dujiangyan Wanhui School, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Finland-China Education Association, an expert from the Finnish International Education Innovation Institute, a well-known expert in curriculum and education quality assessment, and an expert from Chengtou Wanhui Education President Li Dong of the group is giving a special lecture to parents on "Combining Finnish and Chinese education to cultivate future cutting-edge talents." Regarding the cultivation of children, Principal Li Dong pointed out that Dujiangyan Wanhui School emphasizes elite education, cooperation and support for students with learning difficulties. Children in Wanhui will have a wealth of extracurricular activities, because teachers will adhere to the philosophy of "less is more" in their teaching, focusing on integrating all subjects in lesson preparation, so that students can truly learn by doing and achieve the goal of effective learning.

Principal Li Dong gave detailed answers to the issues about teaching philosophy and curriculum that parents are most concerned about. He elaborated on the six major innovations of Dujiangyan Wanhui School: innovation in learning methods, innovation in learning courses, innovation in learning environment, innovation in school culture, innovation in school management methods and evaluation, and innovation in support systems. The new educational concept requires teachers to gradually shift from focusing on content teaching to cultivating learning abilities, so that students' knowledge systems can achieve vertical coherence and horizontal integration, and cultivate outstanding future talents.

Talking about the future development of education, President Li Dong mentioned that children’s future is unpredictable. He suggested that parents should not require students to follow the teacher’s or parents’ ideas to follow the so-called road to success. Instead, students should follow the guidance of teachers or parents. Help children design their lives in the next 20, 30 or even 40 years based on their own abilities and interests. The realization of this goal requires cultivating children's cross-functional abilities, which mainly include: the ability to think and learn to learn, the ability to actively search and select information needed for learning, the ability to select key materials in learning information, choose effective methods and be able to be independent The ability to determine a study plan, the ability to use effective methods to master the content learned, and the ability to apply learned knowledge and skills in appropriate situations. Only when children have the ability to transcend and learn to actively acquire knowledge can they become true elites in the future world.

At the end of the lecture, Principal Li Dong demonstrated the home economics class in Finland, using lesson examples to show the physical and chemical knowledge that children can gain from the simple matter of "washing clothes". Home economics will also be a special course at Wanhui School.

Principal Li Dong finally hopes that parents will be qualified "supportive" parents and establish an effective parent-child relationship. In order to let parents understand how the school's educational vision of "every scene and thing has taste, and every plant and tree educates people" is realized, President Li Dong also led the parents to visit the campus and introduced the school's education in detail to them. The lessons behind all the buildings, plants and how the school practices the educational philosophy of “learning by doing”. Hermes Square has all kinds of sports facilities, including basketball, football, tennis, badminton, table tennis...the rich activity design is enough to ensure the healthy growth of children.

The small water channel next to the playground is a biology and physics classroom for students. Here they will observe how dragonflies lay eggs, explore the water cycle, and discuss how to protect water resources.

Various classes of flowers and trees in the green belt will also be claimed by each class. Students will grow up with these lives, feel the changes in life, and discover the mysteries of nature.

Home economics and metalworking classes are unique courses of Wanhui. We hope that Wanhui’s children will not only be able to learn, but also be able to live. The home economics classroom is fully equipped with refrigerators, storage cabinets, ovens, microwaves, induction cookers, cloakrooms, and lockers. Home economics courses are not just about cooking skills. The school integrates etiquette training into home economics classes. Here, children will learn Chinese and Western dining etiquette, learn about human nutrition intake, and learn about physical health management. Clothes cleaning, furniture cleaning, and debris storage will also be included in home economics courses to teach children how to live.

Wanhui Education focuses on developing and discovering students’ potential, and combines Finnish teaching concepts to move the factory into the campus and build the largest metal and wood workshop in a single school in the world, covering an area of ??nearly 2,000 square meters, for metalworking, The carpentry course directly increases students' practical space, etc., allowing students to "learn by doing" and learn through inquiry in every class.

In order to let the children eat fresh, the school’s meat, vegetables and fruits are delivered by Yonghui Supermarket’s “fresh food” logistics chain. The head chef personally inspects and receives the goods, and insists on ensuring that the ingredients are delivered every day Clear, clear every time. In order to ensure that children can eat safely, the school has made every effort to build a "bright kitchen and bright stove", and monitor the kitchen work with cameras throughout the process without any carelessness. In order to ensure that the children eat nutritiously, the school hires national top chefs as head chefs. They do everything from the purchase of ingredients to the preparation of meals, from pastries to pasta, strictly control the food, and prepare loving and conscientious food for the teachers and students of Wanhui.

At the meeting, Qiu Yufeng, the vice principal of the primary school department, sorted out and explained the interest courses that the school will soon open. Interest classes are designed to enrich student curriculum and develop children's potential.

Wanhui's interest classes include sports courses such as equestrian, fencing, basketball, and tennis, as well as art courses such as piano, folk guitar, tie-dye, and engraving. It will also offer humanities courses such as Cambridge English, higher-order thinking, and English drama. .

Home-school education promotes growth, and parent-teacher conferences serve as a bridge of communication between schools and parents. Home and school work together to create a bright future for every child's happiness.
