Foreign representatives and Chinese principals also discussed issues related to the prevailing education systems in their regions, shared experiences, reached an agreement on complementary advantages, and explored further cooperation opportunities on scientific research, students and faculty exchanges. 

The Jiangsu International Forum for School Principals, hosted by Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education has been held annually since 2005. Representatives from educational departments of other provinces and states, as well as international partner organizations representing primary and secondary schools worldwide, are regularly invited to the Forum. 

Starting from 2011, the Forum has been held in Jiangsu and overseas regions in alternate years. Aside Los Angeles playing host to this year’s event, parallel sessions will also be held in Canada, the UK, Australia and Finland.
