首届“社会创新论坛”

改革开放以来，中国经济增长迅速。但由于城乡间经济增长不平衡，中国的“城乡差异”愈加明显, 已经渗透到中国社会的方方面面，包括教育领域。与城市儿童相比，农村儿童和农民工子弟的教育正面临着一系列问题，包括高素质教师的缺乏，教育技术的过时，以及毕业率低下等。

“社会创新论坛”由bat365在线官网登录燕京学堂主办，旨在为来自全世界年轻的有识之士提供探讨和帮助解决目前中国面临的一系列社会问题的平台。论坛立足北京，充分利用本地丰富的人才和资源优势，博采众家之长，力图营造一个良好的教育环境。

bat365在线官网登录燕京学堂首届“社会创新论坛”将于2016年11月24日至26日在北京举办。论坛将通过实地考察、专题讲座、专题研讨会、互动等方式，探讨中国的教育差距问题。参赛者们将以团队合作形式，针对具体问题完成创新项目或启动计划，并通过最终的展示和评委打分环节进行角逐。

参赛者往返北京交通费用和在京期间的食宿费用由论坛组委会承担。

Ever since the beginning of the reform and opening up period (1979), China's meteoric but uneven economic growth has led urban household per capita income to more than triple that in rural areas, giving it one of the highest urban-rural income ratios in the world. The term "urban-rural gap" refers to the geographical chasm that now permeates nearly every aspect of Chinese society, including education. In comparison with their urban counterparts, the schools attended by rural children and rural-urban migrant children suffer from a range of problems including a drought of high-quality teachers, outdated technology, and low graduation rates.

The Yenching Social Innovation Forum aims to provide a platform for young innovators from around the world to develop and share solutions to some of China's biggest social problems and complexities. It hopes to achieve this goal through leveraging the talent and resources of Beijing to create an educational environment to learn from leaders in the entrepreneurship, policy making, NGO, and venture capital sectors, among others.

This year's forum will be a three-day event hosted from November 24 to 26, comprised of workshops, site visits, and a competition, all pertaining to China's education gap. The selected participants will work together in small teams to brainstorm solutions to specific issues through an innovative project or start-up, which they ultimately will present in a pitch to a panel of judges at the competition.

The costs of round-trip transportation to Beijing, hotel accommodation, and meals for the duration of the program will be covered by the Organizing Committee of the Forum.
