I would like to extend my best wishes to you at the start of the new autumn semester. It is a new journey for us students, educators and staff members.

As we look forward to another new academic year, I sincerely hope that our students will strive to put the socialist core values into practice, study hard and spare no efforts to realize their dreams.

Our teachers will stick to the principle of winning students’ hearts through morality and knowledge, and guide them in developing their characters, enriching their knowledge, opening their minds, and encouraging them to contribute to the country.

Our staff members will make concerted efforts to make Jiangsu a renowned center for education. We will modernize the education system in Jiangsu, create more opportunities for development, and strive to provide every student with a “high-class, diversified and warm” education.

I sincerely hope that our educators and staff members enjoy a smooth start to the new semester, and that our students make progress in their studies.

Yours sincerely,

Ge Daokai

Director-General, Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education
