On 6 April, Sino-ASEAN Secondary School Principals Forum was held in Xiamen University. Nearly 100 principals from 68 top secondary schools in 10 ASEAN countries and 17 key secondary schools from 7 provinces of China attended the forum.

    The forum focused on the topic “Internaitonalization of education and cultivation of students”, discussing the problems about the interlinks between secondary schools and universities in education. In his speech, Wang Ruifang, chancellor of Xiamen University Malaysia, introduced the audience to the construction of Xiamen University Malaysia, programs designing, diploma categories, and the goal the school will achieve in the long run.
