“The most important task of education is to teach children to be kind, to have a dream, and to possess the ability to learn.” --Zhu Yongxin

One of today’s leading education thinkers, Zhu Yongxin possesses a rare clarity about the purpose of education. Dialogues on the New Education is a collection of interviews with Professor Zhu on a wide array of important education issues.

These are truly dialogues. The interviewers are either highly qualified journalists or education experts. The result is more dynamic and informative than anything a typical question/answer format could provide. Dialogues on the New Education provides a level of insight into the subject you will find nowhere else. The 55 interviews in this book cover such topics as:

The Educational Ideals of an Official and ScholarBeing a Teacher as a Life-Long IdentityThe Foundational Ideas of the New Education ExperimentMoral Education During Times of Social TransitionThe Importance of Education ResearchPromoting Humanism and a Reading-Focused SocietyThe Critical Role of Parents in a Child’s EducationWhy Education Policymakers Should Listen to the Public
“Education should cultivate not only innovative talents and scientists but also applied skilled workers,” Yongxin writes. “But what’s more critical is to turn our students into qualified citizens.”

Zhu Yongxin is a member of the National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, vice chairman of China Association for Promoting Democracy (CAPD), and vice president of Chinese Society of Education (CSE). He also serves as a professor and PhD supervisor at Soochow University. A sponsor of the New Education Experiment in China, Professor Zhu has won several awards for his influential work, including “60 great contributors in China’s Education of 60 years” (2009), “30th Anniversary of Reform and Opening Up: Person of the Year in China’s Education Area” (2008), “Top 10 News Figures in China’s Reform” (2007), and “Top 10 Elites in China’s Education” (2006). Professor Zhu has written more than 400 articles on education both at home and abroad, and published over 30 books as well.
