Private Educational Institutions in Future Community Education Scenarios

In 2019, the Zhejiang Provincial Government issued the "Zhejiang Comprehensive Launch of Future Community Construction Pilot" and explained the concept of future communities, which follows the value orientation of humanization, ecologicalization, and digitization. Aimed achieve harmonious community governance, green intensification, and intelligent sharing, Government, community, social organizations, education institutions, and residents jointly build a new integrated community system for a better life with nine key innovative scenarios, including education scenarios. Stakeholders devote themselves to creating a new urban functional unit with a sense of belonging, comfort living, and future vision (Yue, 2019, March 31; Lv, 2023). Chinese dialogue advocating education scenarios in future communities is not a single or separate mission. This vast project is based on current achievements of building a lifelong learning city, setting inclusive and universally beneficial preschool education system, 15-minute ride living facilities, 5G, AI, and innovative platforms, all recent focus (Pilot Work Plan for Future Community Construction in Zhejiang Province, 2020). What would the future community education scenarios be like? Chinese scholars refer to public participation, classification management of private education institutions, living environment construction, modernization of community governance, textual hermeneutics, collaborative governance, new urbanism, new public service theory (Lv, 2022), learning theory, Modernization of Education in China, and lifelong learning theory. Schools, families, governments, institutions, and communities would closely unite and collaborate to provide education services, achieving a panoramic, entire life cycle and imaginative education scenario that everyone, everywhere, and every time, can learn. Private educational institutions are essential participating forces, practical actors, and innovative pioneers in realizing future community education scenarios.
