Shanghai's first exhibition for elderly learning highlights China's educational innovation


Isabel Kempf, director of UNESCO's UIL, commented, "The age-appropriate AI experiences and intergenerational learning programs at the exhibition truly implement the lifelong learning concept of leaving no one behind. China's practices in elderly digital inclusion deserve global reference."
At the forum, Fan Xianrui, vice-president of the Open University of China, outlined three key directions for elderly education: expanding access through digital technology for anytime learning, focusing on high-quality courses like active health and digital skills to meet the needs of the elderly, and fostering innovation by pooling social resources. She cited a course co-developed with the Shanghai Natural History Museum as an example of integrating study-travel resources to enrich learning.
