Schools cover many topics， and as you continue through our programs， more and more subjects open up to you. With all the possible topics available for students to learn， anyone can find their passion and do what they truly love！

Getting an education not only means learning skills like reading and writing， but also  means gaining exposure to abstract concepts like teamwork， critical thinking and creativity.

国际教育日（International Day of Education）

2018年12月3日，第73届联合国大会第44次全体会议通过决议，将每年1月24日定为国际教育日。该决议说，必须“努力确保所有教育机构的包容性和公平性，使所有人都能拥有终身学习的机会，从而有机会充分参与到社会中来，为可持续发展做贡献”。决议确认了教育对实现可持续发展的重要性，尤其提出教育可以提高个人生产力并增加经济增长潜力，有助于消除贫困和饥饿，促进健康状况的改善，增进性别平等。如果各国无法为所有人提供包容和和平的优质教育以及终身学习的机会，各国就无法成功实现性别平等，打破导致数百万儿童、青年和成年人落后的貧困循环。
