Landing in Shanghai can be a real eye-opener for newcomers, with tech pretty much baked into the city's DNA. Every day, it feels like we're moving an inch closer to living in a sci-fi novel. Shanghai's even had its moment of fame in that . Meanwhile, is out here promising to churn out blockbuster movies with a few clicks, and where we might just control gadgets with our thoughts. It's like we're smack dab in the middle of a tech revolution, with AI playing the lead role in shaping what's next.

But beneath all that buzz, there's a bit of a worry fest brewing among parents (yeah, even you tech-savvy millennials). Is the education our kids are getting today going to cut it in a world that's changing faster than your Weibo feed? Are those hefty textbooks going to be worth anything in a world where knowledge updates overnight? And let's not even start on the whole can of worms about AI ethics and safety.

Clearly, there's a massive need for an education system that's not just about memorizing facts but about teaching kids how to think on their feet, be creative, and tackle problems head-on.

A Commitment to Innovation

One thing we like about Dulwich, Dulwich Puxi, is their unwavering commitment to innovation while maintaining the core values of education. They have been a trailblazer in the use of AI in education since well before the genAI explosion in the past eighteen months.
