Highlights of the 12th Innovative Talent Forum by AISL Harrow and Kinglead

The 12th Innovative Talent Forum and the launch event of the research report on “Leadership Characteristics of Internationalised Schools in the Greater Bay Area” was successfully held on 25 February, 2023, at Harrow Hong Kong Children School Shenzhen Qianhai.

Hundreds of parents and educators have joined the education event to discuss future trends and strategies for nurturing high-calibre talents, and the advantages of the diverse education pathways offered by AISL Harrow Schools. Elite local and international education experts were brought together to share their thoughts on “Innovation” and “Leadership”, as well as the unique demand for education in the GBA.

“Leadership attributes are a key metric to world-leading universities. Parents who choose a school that emphasises leadership and innovative skills will provide their children advantages that benefit them for life.” Dr Huang Guoying, Senior Researcher at the KingLead Research Institute, said at the forum. The forum has showcased that academic results are no longer the sole criteria to get into top universities while soft skills and personal traits are becoming increasingly important. It offered parents a new way of thinking and helped them to make wise decisions about education strategies for their children.

The Report is jointly released by KingLead and AISL Harrow School. Based on exclusive data and professional analysis, the Report provides parents an understanding of the characteristics of leadership development in internationalised schools in the GBA.
