Recently, the 8^th Chen Zhenchuan Foundation - Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Advanced Leadership Development Forum opened at NTU in Singapore. Vice President Prof. Dr. Feng Jiaxun from GXU was invited to attend and delivered a keynote speech.

Prof. Dr. Feng Jiaxun introduced the history and development of GXU, as well as the characteristics and effectiveness of the undergraduate experimental teaching innovation reform implemented around the “Four News” construction.

He underscored the university’s core commitment to enhancing students’ practical innovation skills, driven by the principles of student-centeredness, collaborative sharing, and the ethos of the Four News. This approach has led to the establishment of a comprehensive undergraduate experimental teaching model, resulting in heightened student engagement, the cultivation of teamwork and communication abilities, and the promotion of a culture of innovation and creativity. As a result, there has been a marked improvement in the quality of talent development.

Going forward, Guangxi University (GXU) remains dedicated to upholding tradition while embracing innovation, fostering openness and collaboration, and further solidifying partnerships with institutions such as NTU in Singapore. Together, they aim to tackle the opportunities and challenges posed by the digital age’s reshaping of higher education and its growing internationalization, thus contributing valuable insights and resources to the advancement of China-ASEAN educational cooperation.
