Hand in Hand for Success: Mdm. Jia Lili Joins Dipont Education Group as Vice President

 

 

Dipont Education Group has been a committed player in China’s international education arena for over two decades, witnessing the development and changes of the international education in China which is closely tied with the era we live in. While exploring with persistence the in-depth integration of the Chinese and western education, Dipont has been very active in finding and attracting industry experts to join us and together make a difference by honoring our pledge to a high-quality holistic education in China.

 

This spring, we are welcoming onboard another seasoned industry expert to join the management team of Dipont. Here, Dipont Education Group officially announces that Mdm. Jia Lili will join the company on march 31 as Vice President of the Group.

 

Mdm. Jia Lili has enjoyed an immersive hands-on experience in the education sector for 32 years, celebrating an exciting and rewarding career spanning public, bilingual and international education. She started as a teacher in a public school and has now grown to senior management in leading international and bilingual schools in China, making her not only a witness but also a significant contributor as she has engaged in governance, growth and accreditation of various bilingual and international schools. It is fair to say that Mdm. Jia’s career trajectory is a vivid annotation of the internationalization of China’s basic education.
 
Despite her managerial role in the bilingual and international schools, Mdm. Jia Lili, as an educator and pioneer of the International Baccalaureate programmes, has been actively practicing the program for 26 years, taking up such roles as workshop leader, senior examiner, School Authorization Visiting Team leader and IB chair for multi-programme, CIS/WASC/NEASC Synchronized visits. Mdm. Jia Lili does not shy away from her recognition of the IB program, as she herself is a true beneficiary in the process of delivering IB.

 

 

The IB program, rolled out in China more than twenty years ago, has helped the concept of holistic education find its way into the hearts and mind of the Chinese people, enriching what we offer in China's international education and what we could do differently in reforming China's basic education. Dipont Education Group embarked on this journey since 2003 when we introduced the international high school programs such as A-Level, IB and AP, followed by our effort to establish K-12 independent schools ten years ago. Dipont has its own understanding and practice of integrating the best of the Chinese and Western education, as well as the best of different curricula, in an effort to achieve personalized growth for our students under the philosophy of holistic education. Therefore, we are convinced that Mdm. Jia and Dipont are fully aligned when it comes to the future mission—to develop future leaders with global competence. The "three-dimensional international education model" she proposed lays equal emphasis on academic excellence, multi-cultural awareness and social responsibility, which is highly in sync with our strategic programs at the group level such as the comprehensive advanced development of the K-12 bilingual schools, STEAM innovation projects, and the Global Competence Development Center.

 

Warmest welcome to Mdm. Jia Lili. We look forward to working closely with her alongside our 2,000 professional educators from around the world at Dipont Education Group to continue to deliver innovative educational practices, explore new paradigms for the localization of international education, and stay true to Dipont’s founding principles of originality and excellence while preparing our students for an ever changing world.
