On 28 December, reporters learned from the Ministry of Education (MOE）that the MOE had recently convened the 2024 National Education Digitalisation Work Summary Meeting. It was announced at the meeting that the Smart Education of China ∙ Lifelong Education Platform had been officially launched.

The Smart Education of China ∙ Lifelong Education Platform has launched an initial batch of 1,000 courses, categorised into six major sections: scientific literacy, workplace skills, cultural literacy, hobbies and interests, continuing education, and silver age classes. This platform offers learners with a diverse array of high-quality learning resources across various levels and forms, as well as personalised, intelligent, and convenient learning support services.

The launch of the Smart Education of China ∙ Lifelong Education Platform is a significant milestone in establishing a "ubiquitous and accessible lifelong education system". So far, the Smart Education of China Platform has established a new resource structure with "four horizontal dimensions" covering basic education, vocational education, higher education, and lifelong education, and "five vertical dimensions" encompassing sound moral grounding, intellectual ability, physical vigour, aesthetic sensibility, and work skills.
