Peng Liyuan urges digital and intelligent education for women

Peng Liyuan, wife of President Xi Jinping and special envoy of the

UNESCO for the advancement of girls' and women's education,

called for the international community to vigorously develop digital

and intelligent education for women,

to ensure that they can use and benefit from digital and intelligent technologies.

Peng made the remarks via video link at the award ceremony

of the 2026 UNESCO Prize for Girls' and Women's Education,

held on Friday in Paris, France.

Noting that girls' and women's education remains an arduous task,

she also urged the international community to work together

to enhance women's vocational education and training

and build them a ladder to a life of brilliance.

Stressing that China has always pushed to set a standard

by girls' and women's education,

"at the same time, we are also actively and extensively carrying out

practical cooperation with UNESCO and relevant parties,

and have implemented a number of programs,

benefiting women across the globe," Peng added.

She said that China's efforts over recent years in using AI

to empower quality education have not only boosted gender equality

in education and women's all-round development,

but also provided useful experience for fellow Global South countries.
