BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) are expanding cooperation in basic education via a new center in Beijing, with AI set to play a role alongside youth exchanges and teacher training.
The countries are expected to use the China-SCO Basic Education Cooperation Center, which was unveiled on Thursday, as a platform to share experience in developing basic education.
China is ready to use digitally enabled and AI-powered education to deepen practical cooperation with SCO members in education, science and technology, and talent, education authorities said.
The center is based in Beijing's Chaoyang District. Education authorities from SCO member states and basic education institutions from across China will be invited to develop this new center.
Founded in Shanghai in June 2001, the SCO has expanded from six founding members into the world's largest comprehensive regional organization by geographic coverage and population, with cooperation covering more than 50 areas. ■
