Conference background:

The cultivation of students' core literacy is an urgent need to adapt to the trends of global education reforms and enhance the international competitiveness of education for China. The Compulsory Education Curriculum Outline and the corresponding subject curriculum standards issued by the MOE 2022 clearly put forward the concept of 'core literacy orientation'. Thus questions like how the requirements in the national curriculums are carrying out around the world, as well as how to develop textbooks and the resources based on curriculum standards, deserve attention in the fields of curriculum and teaching.

The Faculty of Education at Beijing Normal University, the Comprehensive Research Center for Basic Education Textbooks (Beijing Normal University), along with the People's Education Press Research Institute, Beijing Normal University Press, Jiangsu Phoenix Education Press, Southwest University Press, and the College of Elementary Education at Hebei Normal University, will jointly organize the 4th International Conference on Curriculum, Teaching, and Textbook Studies (ICCTTS 2024) to be held during October 10th to 12th 2024. Colleagues in the academic community will be warmly welcomed to  share their wisdom, build consensus, and contribute to the profound transformation and development of modern curriculum, teaching and textbooks.
