24 分钟Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is roundtable.
Hello everybody, welcome to Roundtable.
Coming to you live from Beijing.
I'm he young.
Good as always to have you join us on today's show.
Parents are now stepping into classrooms at some elementary school campuses in Beijing and Shanghai as part of a new cooperative education model.
While this aims to foster stronger bonds between home, school and possibly community, it raises questions.
Could this kind of parental involvement transform education for the better?
Is it fair to expect such high level of involvement from busy parents?
And we're on a mission of starting your week with motivational kick.
Our motivational Monday offerings will get you ready to tackle the week.
For today's program, I'm joined by Li Yi and Brandon Yates in the Stitch studio.
First on today's show, what if schools, families and communities work together seamlessly to educate children?
That's the ambitious goal of the new education model at Beijing number two experimental elementary school where parents are actively participating in school life.
From guiding study tours to leading discussions on civic responsibilities, this cooperative approach integrates various societal resources into the educational process.
Liyi, could you give us the thumbnail on what exactly is going on in this school?
Sure.
As you said, this Beijing number two experimental primary school has been working to make the school more open to parents by keeping them more involved in the classroom.
I mean daily courses and also various activities inside the campus.
