Introduction to Chinese Culture: What is Education For?Rethinking Learning through Confucian Thought

'What is Education For? Rethinking Learning through Confucian Thought' session:
In contemporary education systems increasingly oriented toward skills acquisition and measurable performance, the fundamental purpose of education is often called into question. This talk draws on the educational philosophy of Confucius to revisit the deeper aims of learning.
Focusing on the Confucian ideal of self-cultivation, it explores how education can be understood not merely as the transmission of knowledge or the development of competencies, but as a lifelong process of moral and personal formation. The talk will examine how this perspective offers valuable insights for rethinking higher education, character development, and the broader concept of lifelong learning in today’s world.
