After the release of the "Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan and Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)," how to implement the requirements of the new curriculum standards and better integrate them into adolescents' daily learning has become a topic of close concern for both parents and students, as well as a key focus for research and development in educational products across various fields."Xueersi recently announced a comprehensive content upgrade across its entire product line to align with China's newly revised national curriculum standards, with preparatory work already underway. On May 24, Xueersi entered into a strategic partnership with the Youth Cultural Literacy Development Initiative. This collaboration will focus on joint research and implementation of the updated curriculum standards, with initial outcomes to be integrated into Xueersi Xpad and Xueersi Books.

Strategic Partnership to Promote Youth Core Literacy Development

The "Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan and Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" has introduced various adjustments to the teaching, learning, and examination practices at the elementary and secondary school levels. It strongly advocates the cultivation of core literacy and cultural capabilities among Chinese elementary and secondary school students. Against this backdrop, Xueersi and the Youth Cultural Literacy Development and Promotion Project will explore and research the new national curriculum standards and training objectives, conducting both theoretical research and teaching practices to effectively combine and complement in-school and extracurricular learning.

A representative from the Youth Cultural Literacy Development and Promotion Project stated, "The new curriculum standards require students to focus more on interdisciplinary integration and practical application abilities, which aligns perfectly with Xueersi's teaching philosophy of 'inspiring motivation and cultivating abilities.' The two parties will jointly conduct a series of seminars and practices to better promote the development of youth core cultural literacy."

It is reported that since its launch in 2021, the Youth Cultural Literacy Development and Promotion Project has continually expanded its range and forms of public welfare cultural projects related to youth. It organizes experts from various fields to conduct academic seminars or thematic activities, dedicated to advancing the continuous development of youth cultural literacy learning while actively exploring new formats and methods for quality education both inside and outside of schools.

From Research to Practice: Xueersi Upgrades All Products with New Curriculum Standards

Based on the strategic cooperation between Xueersi and the Youth Cultural Literacy Development and Promotion Project, a series of seminar and practice activities are being intensively carried out to continuously promote the cultivation and enhancement of youth core literacy abilities. It is reported that the Youth Cultural Literacy Development and Promotion Project has officially granted Xueersi the title of "New Curriculum Standards Core Literacy Research and Practice Center." Additionally, Xueersi will join the New Curriculum Standards Core Literacy Research Expert Committee, composed of many industry experts, to jointly study the new curriculum standards and create more forms and content for its implementation.

A Xueersi content-related spokesperson introduced that both parties have jointly engaged numerous teaching and research experts from prestigious schools to conduct special seminars on the new curriculum standards and certification training on core literacy teaching practices aimed at Xueersi teaching and research staff. This will help explore and understand the key points of the new curriculum standards, implement the guiding opinions of the new standards, and delve into practical forms of the new curriculum standards.

It is reported that research results aligned with the new curriculum standards will soon be implemented across the full product line of Xueersi Xpad and Xueersi book products, including the recently released Xueersi Xpad Classic Edition 2024 and upcoming teaching materials such as "Summer Preview and Review," "Elementary School Chinese Classroom Notes," "Unit-Based Review," and the "Xueersi Daily Practice" series. The "Learning Sync" and "Precision Learning" sections within the Xpad will also be upgraded to align with the new curriculum standards. The combination of high-quality content and new hardware will provide users with a smooth and convenient experience.

It's worth mentioning that Xueersi will also invite contemporary Chinese animal fiction writer Shen Shixi, Director of the Literature Research Institute of Nanjing Normal University Zhong Zhenzhen, well-known educational blogger Li Yongle, among others, to co-create public master classes on youth core literacy that align with the new curriculum standards. These classes will offer professional explanations of the new curriculum standards for young people, with related content to be available soon on Xueersi Xpad.

Professional Content Team: Xueersi Continues to Meticulously Craft Quality Content

From published content to Xpad hardware, "high-quality content" has always been the hallmark of Xueersi's product series. According to a spokesperson from Xueersi's Intelligent Content Center, "At Xueersi, high-quality content is not only professional but also vibrant and new. It requires consistent updates and high-frequency iterations to keep pace with changes in educational and societal trends." The collaboration with the Youth Cultural Literacy Development and Promotion Project to conduct teaching research in line with the new curriculum standards exemplifies Xueersi's commitment to maintaining the quality of its content.

To ensure the continuous iteration of high-quality content in all its products, Xueersi has established the "Xueersi Intelligent Content Center," with dozens of subject experts, each averaging 10 years of teaching and research experience, leading development for each subject. All course content undergoes rigorous three-round reviews and revisions to ensure that changes in learning trends are professionally tracked and that high-quality learning content is promptly delivered to users.

Using this partnership with the Youth Cultural Literacy Development and Promotion Project as a starting point, Xueersi will continue to invest in delivering high-quality, professional learning content that meets the new curriculum standards. Additionally, Xueersi will collaborate with more professional partners across various fields to persist in offering excellent content that satisfies users, continually building a sustainable and dynamic content ecosystem.
