NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The fifth 820 China Education Festival will be held on the 20th-22nd of August in 2017 at Shanghai International Convention Center, which is hosted by Junhsue China and co-organized by Deloitte China and Only Education Group, and undertaken by Shanghai Anser MEDIA Limited Company. In the meantime, almost 5000 educators, experts from diverse backgrounds, social education practitioners, and representatives of educational institutions from China and other countries will attend this conference.

The 820 China Education Festival (820 for short), firstly named for dates, is a large-scale general educational summit forum, which has gathered many elites together in various fields from both domestic and overseas, including capital, academic circles, education, art, politics, business, etc. By organizing many keynote speeches, round tables and discussions around the core concept of education, 820 has accelerated multi-dimensional exchange and collision, and aroused strong repercussions among different social sectors. 820 is no longer just a number, but a symbolic sign for general education.

Since the first 820 China Education Festival was held on August 20th 2013 at Shanghai International Convention Center, it has been successively held four times, with the theme of “quality education, scientific and technological education, life education and education+”. 820 has won its reputation both home and abroad and is hailed as the most high-profile annual event in education by the mainstream media.

The declaration of the 5th 820 China Education Festival is “bringing commonweal to life and making commonweal part of life”.  Visitor flow volume is up to 410 thousand. We hope to further improve the spreading and developing of public spirit by using the power of public envoys and promoting the development of commonweal.

The essence of education lies in awakening. Education makes better life, so does commonweal.

The essence of commonweal is to arouse people's own moral conscience and individual responsibility. It is the original intention of the fifth 820 that is to awaken the devotion to public welfare through education and to let more people be aware of it and promote it and shoulder the responsibility.

The 820 of this year is a pageant in commonweal culture exchange, which will be a party for media and its related association to promote public welfare. Besides main forums, there are also many different kinds of sub-sessions in the forms of panel discussions, seminars, World Café, and so on.

The three-day summit meeting will provide full-spectrum coverage with tracking and reporting by media, broadcast online, interview, real-time interactions on micro blogging, etc.

Today, online education, hi-tech education and intelligent education prevail. Let’s return to the essence of education and reexamine education in a new perspective and a new way. We expect more education practitioners and those who care about education to join this carnival, show their support to China’s non-government education and build a splendid future of Chinese education.
