Last week, on October 13th, the Conference on Digital Education to Promote the High Quality Development of Education in the Central and Western Regions was held in Yinchuan, Ningxia. This was a major conference related to the development of education in the central and western regions. According to relevant reports on the official website of the Ministry of Education, it can be found that since June this year, the Ministry of Education and relevant provinces have held multiple meetings related to education in the central and western regions. In June, the conference on revitalizing higher education in the central and western regions of China in the new era and the strategic consultation meeting on strengthening education were held in Lanzhou, Gansu, the conference on aiding youth in education was held in Xining, Qinghai, and the strategic consultation meeting on strengthening education (in the central region) was held in Wuhan, Hubei; In August, the Working Conference on Education Aid to Xizang and the Consultation Conference on Education Powerful Strategy (Xinjiang) were held in Urumqi, Xizang, and the Working Conference on Education Counterpart Support to Tibet was held in Lhasa, Tibet; In September, the 10th Anniversary Symposium on Designated Assistance for Universities Directly under the Ministry of Education in Yunnan was held in Kunming, Yunnan. In addition, this year, the Ministry of Education held a conference with Chongqing, Xizang, Sichuan, Hubei, Qinghai, Yunnan, Guizhou and other central and western provinces (districts, cities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and signed a strategic cooperation agreement. By reviewing the above meetings, several characteristics can be seen. High specification - the main leaders of the Ministry of Education, with the participation of major leaders from various provinces and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, make important arrangements for related work. Multiple types - there are work meetings for specific provinces, work meetings for the entire central and western regions, as well as consultation meetings on the strategy of strengthening education. Wide range of topics - covering multiple topics such as higher education, digital education, youth aid, Xinjiang aid, and targeted assistance in Yunnan. Why is the central and western regions receiving frequent attention? From a strategic perspective, the central and western regions cover 18 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, with a population of 54% of the country. They are the strategic hinterland of the domestic circulation and the strategic pivot of the international circulation, playing a crucial role in building a new development pattern. From educational data, the central and western regions occupy half of China's education and shoulder an important historical mission in achieving comprehensive improvement of the overall quality of education, accelerating the construction of an education powerhouse, and promoting regional coordinated development. From an objective reality perspective, China has established the world's largest education system, and the overall level of education development ranks among the top in the world. However, the distribution of high-quality resources nationwide is uneven, with significant regional urban-rural differences. Especially in the central and western regions, the territory is vast, with a majority being ethnic minority areas, border areas, and underdeveloped areas. The natural environment is complex, and the foundation for economic, social, and educational development is relatively weak. In summary, the level of education development in the central and western regions does not fully match their strategic position. It is an inevitable trend to stimulate the potential of education in the central and western regions and achieve high-quality development of education in these regions. The more urgent the task and complex the situation, the more soberly we must see the opportunity to break the situation. For example, at this conference on promoting the high-quality development of education in the central and western regions through digital education, an important message was conveyed - the central and western regions have led the country in promoting the application of national smart education platforms. This conclusion is somewhat unexpected. However, the data clearly indicates that this "leading position" in the central and western regions is truly worthy of its name. This is education for the central and western regions
