Luohu explores new paradigm of high quality education


With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, big data, and other new-generation technologies, education is undergoing profound transformation. Luohu district in Shenzhen took the lead one year ago by introducing a high-quality development strategy, which places integrated cultivation at its core.
Through a three-level mechanism—guided by Party leadership, promoted at the district level, and implemented in schools—Luohu has built a new ecosystem for “new quality education.” This includes the creation of “new quality classrooms,” the development of “AI-enabled teaching,” and the nurturing of “seed teachers” to drive classroom transformation.
Over the past year, Luohu’s pilot schools have advanced from version 1.0 to 3.0 of the “new quality classroom.” Early experiments at Taoyuan Primary School focused on shifting from traditional knowledge transmission to core competency development, while Meiyuan Experimental School created the model of diversified learning spaces.
Today, the district is rolling out version 3.0 classrooms across campuses. Equipped with an EDUOS operating system and AI-driven tools, these “transformable classrooms” can flexibly switch into labs, theaters, or debate halls, supporting project-based and interdisciplinary learning.
To support teaching reform, the Luohu Institute of Education Sciences has developed a model to encourage students to engage in experiential, reflective, and creative learning. AI serves as both a learning companion and cognitive tool, assisting with personalized study and evaluation. Teachers are repositioned as facilitators and designers, while students take on the role of active explorers.
A growing number of “seed teachers” have become pioneers in this reform. From science projects like student-built rockets to interdisciplinary English lessons integrating AI and design, these practices highlight how technology and pedagogy can work together to foster innovation and problem-solving skills.
Since 2025, Luohu has launched pilot programs in 25 schools and 60 classes, with over 1,700 project-based learning courses conducted in fields ranging from science and engineering to the arts. Schools such as Taining Primary have even established large-scale 3.0 classrooms to fully support integrated cultivation.
Through these reforms, Luohu is steadily building a model of new quality education that leverages technology and space innovation to enhance student competencies and reshape the future of learning.
