SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Canada-China Education Forum
DESCRIPTION:China remains one of the most important source countries of international students to Canada. Opportunities are huge in China since the Chinese government continues encouraging international education and exchanges. Meanwhile\, major changes are also appearing in the Chinese educational market\, and the Chinese government changes its education development priorities from time to time to meet the country’s talent needs. \nSimultaneously\, Canadian international education faces ongoing challenges in 2025. The residual effects of the abrupt changes to the IRCC regulations governing the international student program in 2024 continue to exert considerable pressure on Canada’s reputation\, particularly in key markets such as China. \nThere is growing discussion among individuals and institutions about the quality of Canadian education and Canada’s reputation as a land of opportunity\, especially in the context of international study and partnerships. In this landscape\, quick action to create meaningful education and career opportunities is needed to restore confidence in Canada and abroad. \nTo address these challenges\, CCBC has invited a group of educational experts from the Chinese Embassy in Canada\, Canadian universities\, colleges\, high schools\, and education service companies to discuss the opportunities and challenges\, and to explore ways to restore confidence in Canadian education in China\, while strengthening bilateral educational partnerships and guiding both countries through the current “reset” toward future shared prosperity. \nCCBC is pleased to have speakers from Canadian universities\, colleges\, high schools\, language centres\, and educational service companies discuss this important topic from their unique perspectives\, including: \n\n\n\n\n\nMinister-Counsellor Mr. ZHANG Yongjun\, Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Canada\nTom Cumming\, Deputy Director (High Intensity Services)\, Toronto Regional Office of the Trade Commissioner Service\nDr. DENG Jun\, President & CEO\, Bank of China (Canada)\, Principal Officer\, Bank of China Toronto Branch\nGwen Burrows\, Assistant Vice-President\, International Engagement & Impact\, University of Toronto; Board Director\, Canada China Business Council\nDr. Chris Busch\, Associate Vice-President of Enrolment and Senior International Officer\, University of Windsor\nDr. Howard X.
