On February 25th, the day after Guangdong's High-Quality Development Conference, the Guangdong National Lifelong Learning Platform was officially launched. This is an important measure for Guangdong to adhere to "investing in people" and consolidate the talent foundation for high-quality development. Hu Jinjun, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, Director of the Publicity Department, and Spokesperson of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, stated that as a major economic and populous province, Guangdong's goal to "take the lead" hinges on talent and fundamentally on education. It is imperative to invest in people and accelerate the transformation of its huge population into a strong human resource advantage. He introduced that the Guangdong National Lifelong Learning System focuses on young people and industrial workers in eastern, western and northern Guangdong, providing more than 300,000 high-quality continuing education places each year, enabling people to pursue their university dreams while working. It is learned that the platform will launch the first batch of 130 skill courses and senior learning resources, with an expected annual training of over 2 million person-times.
Hu Jinjun noted that the Guangdong National Lifelong Learning System closely addresses the employment, income increase and development issues that people care about the most, breaks institutional barriers, improves policy incentives, and further develops various human resources. The skills and knowledge acquired can become a "key" for job hunting and a "stepping stone" for personal growth.
As learned by Ta Kung Wen Wei, the official website of the Guangdong National Lifelong Learning System is https://www.gdlll.cn. The homepage of the platform features a diverse range of learning content, covering courses from Cantonese dim sum making, Cantonese opera appreciation, Traditional Chinese Medicine lectures and cultural relic appreciation to product design for intelligent manufacturing production lines. Many high-quality online course resources are provided by major universities in Guangdong. Hu Jinjun said that the platform is equivalent to opening a "course supermarket", putting the best courses from the whole province and even the whole country on the shelves for users to choose on demand. The platform has also introduced a large artificial intelligence model, which can act as a thoughtful "intelligent learning companion" and "intelligent tutor" to recommend the most suitable courses for users.
