The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global education, leading to a surge in online education, a pressing need for global online educational resources, a balanced focus on K12 and higher education, widespread adoption of new technologies in education, and rapid development of specialized education platforms. These changes have posed numerous challenges and triggered multidimensional transformations in educational philosophies, models, assessment methods, teaching resources, and the integration of education with new technologies. Additionally, the formation of an international educational community and the reconstruction of educational ecosystems have become key considerations. To address these challenges, this paper proposes the rapid transformation of educational concepts, from traditional views to a future-oriented perspective that caters to the unique learning needs of each individual, enabling education that is accessible, continuous, and personalized through leveraging advanced technologies like the Internet, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. The paper also suggests increasing investment in educational resources, enhancing network infrastructure and facilities, improving top-level designs for educational resources, promoting international exchanges and resource sharing, and establishing a comprehensive policy and guarantee system to tackle the structural insufficiency of high-quality educational resources. Furthermore, diversified teaching methods, such as blended learning and flipped classrooms, are proposed to meet the diverse learning needs. The paper emphasizes the importance of enhancing teachers' information technology application capabilities to align with the developmental needs of schools. It also advocates for increased participation of China in global education governance and the promotion and implementation of innovative Chinese educational ideas on a global scale. Initiatives such as leading post-pandemic global education and education informatisation plans are suggested to drive the formulation of relevant standards, international conventions, and the advancement of domestic education governance, thus enhancing China's contributions and influence in global education governance.
