中国教育部副部长吴岩指出，建设学习型社会是国际社会关注的重要议题。随着高等教育普及化水平的提高，特别是信息技术的迅猛发展，“时时可学、处处能学、人人皆学”已从愿景变成现实。近年来，中国教育部实施教育数字化战略行动，建设国家智慧教育平台，为学习型社会打造数字基座，持续推进学习型城市、学习型社区、学习型企业建设，激励人人好学乐学，以世界规模最大的数字教育，服务着世界最大规模的学习人群，中国愿与有关国家和国际组织加强合作，打造全天候的数字化学习平台、全场域的数字化学习空间、全覆盖的数字教育共同体，共建数字教育共同体。
Wu Yan, Deputy Minister of China’s Ministry of Education, pointed out that the construction of a learning society is an important issue of international concern. With the improvement of the level of higher education popularization, especially the rapid development of information technology, the vision of “learning anytime, anywhere, and by everyone” has become a reality. In recent years, the Chinese Ministry of Education has implemented a strategy for digital education and established a national smart education platform, creating a digital foundation for a learning society. China has been continuously promoting the construction of learning cities, learning communities, and learning enterprises, encouraging everyone to have a passion for learning. With the world’s largest scale of digital education, China is serving the world’s largest learning population. China is willing to strengthen cooperation with relevant countries and international organizations to build an all-weather digital learning platform, a comprehensive digital learning space, and a fully covered digital education community, contributing to the construction of a digital education community.

中外嘉宾普遍认为，数字技术革命迅猛发展，数字化浪潮扑面而来，将会带来深刻的教育变革，需要各国和国际组织共享优质资源和有效解决方案，同时要加强数字教育领域的全球治理，以应对人工智能等技术对教育乃至对人类带来的深层挑战。世界各国政府部门、学校、企业应加强合作，共同打造全天候的数字化学习平台，为全球学习者提供全天候、24小时不间断的学习支持；共同打造全场域的数字化学习空间，开发更多智能化、便携式的学习终端，使学习者无论在哪里都能一键开启“学习之旅”；共同构建全覆盖的数字教育共同体，健全数据安全、数字伦理和隐私保护机制，为学习者提供更加个性化、更友好的学习服务，从而开启学习型社会的新纪元。
Both Chinese and foreign participants generally believed that the rapid development of digital technology and the wave of digitalization will bring about profound changes to education. It requires countries and international organizations to share high-quality resources and effective solutions while strengthening global governance in the field of digital education to cope with the profound challenges brought by technologies such as artificial intelligence to education and even to humanity. Governments, schools, and businesses worldwide should strengthen cooperation and jointly build an all-weather digital learning platform to provide round-the-clock, uninterrupted learning support for learners worldwide. They should also create a comprehensive digital learning space, develop more intelligent and portable learning terminals, enabling learners to start their “learning journey” with just one click, regardless of their location. By building a fully covered digital education community and establishing sound mechanisms for data security, digital ethics, and privacy protection, learners can receive more personalized and user-friendly learning services, thus ushering in a new era of a learning society.
