Relevant departments said they will continue to work on ideological guidance, teacher allocation, training and development, and compensation guarantees, so as to promote highquality education development in border areas. It is understood that the program is guided by the Teacher Affairs Department of the Ministry of Education, supported by a donation from People's Education Press, and implemented by the China Teacher Development Foundation, which is responsible for project approval and execution. At the launch meeting, the relevant institutions also signed a memorandum of cooperation, and a symposium on teacher team development in border areas was held after the meeting.
