Since its discovery in late 2019, COVID-19 has wreaked havoc across the world, upending the lives and work of hundreds of millions of people. In order for universities to continue their curriculum into the spring semester, the Chinese government and universities across the country have turned to online education.
On February 4, 2020, the Ministry of Education announced online education guidelines as a pandemic countermeasure, requiring Chinese universities to continue offering courses through online channels. In the past seven weeks alone, more than 952,000 staff from over 1400 universities have offered 7.13 million online courses, with a total of 1.18 billion student interactions. This transition, from physical to digital, has not only transformed the way staff teach, but also the way students learn, creating a whole new paradigm and a fresh range of learning activities and styles in the process.
More than 41,000 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and 110 online education platforms — created jointly, by industry and universities — have played an instrumental role in making the transition to online education a reality. Indeed, most staff members and students have been satisfied with the quality of online courses offered over the past several weeks. The reason for such success can be attributed largely to the close coordination of all sectors of society, I think. The University-Government-Business (UGB) model has emerged, harnessing the leadership of government and combining it with the traditional strengths of universities and the powerful resources of private enterprise, to build a vibrant MOOC community with high levels of engagement from teachers and students alike.
Creating an online education ecosystem is no easy task. It involves the adaptation of courses for online teaching, development of MOOC applications, teacher training in new technologies, educational reforms, and a shift to a more adaptive teaching style. In order to carry out education reform as the demand for online learning surges, universities also have to manage staff motivation, student engagement, incentive policies, and effective management of online operations. In addition, MOOCs and online education services need to be standardized and evaluated to ensure a consistent, high level of quality. Here, specialized online education and IT companies can play a critical role, by offering technical support and educational services.
COVID-19 is an unprecedented challenge for all of us. But in crisis, there is opportunity. After we have overcome the hurdles that we currently face, we will find that we have a valuable opportunity to drive the rapid development of online education in China. Online education — such as MOOCs — represents a revolution of IT/Internet + education. But teachers and students are the ones who will ultimately decide whether or not online education will be widely adopted or simply falter. If the merits of such as system are made clear to both parties, online education may not simply be a current trend of circumstance, but become a key pillar in the education system overall. Through learning, exploring, and putting online education and MOOCs into practice, China has developed a solution for both that works. This solution and the lessons learned can be applied elsewhere in the world, to help build a supportive global online education community.

Huawei states in the announcement that, in the digital era, more opportunities and support must be given to women to ensure they have access to the education and training that they need to be fundamentally competitive in the digital economy. Equipping women with these skills has proven to promote social integration and inclusive and diversified societies.
Huawei Senior Vice President Chen Lifang said: "We believe that women will lead technological innovation. We hope that the HUAWEI Women Developers program will help women better leverage their talents and unique value, and give them opportunities to demonstrate their leadership abilities. This will help make our world a better place."
The HUAWEI Women Developers program is the newest initiative that Huawei has taken as part of its commitment to promoting gender equality. The program will provide participants with training on technological innovation and career development paths, along with opportunities to meet with experts in cutting-edge technologies from various fields, and to participate in hands-on scenario-based experiments and drills. Huawei hopes to create a special community for women developers on the HUAWEI Developers platform, and organize a series of online and offline events.
Through its existing Shining-Star program, Huawei also offers women developers special incentives to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship. Participants from this program who develop outstanding projects with big potential will have the opportunity to be featured in future campaigns and invited to other official Huawei events.
To date, Huawei has successfully launched similar digital skill training programs for women in many countries including Ireland, Argentina, Bangladesh, Kenya, and South Africa. Over 30% of trainees in Huawei's other ICT training programs, such as Seeds for the Future, are women.
The HUAWEI Women Developers program is now open to women developers from around the world. For more information, please visit the HUAWEI Developers official website. Link: https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/programs/hwd

The event invited around 100 local student developers to attend and learn about innovational topics including a keynote from Elena Corchero, Director of Emerging Tech @DowJones Live, as well as a TechTalk about Huawei AI project. Caroline Fleming, Director of Innovation Strategy at the University of Surrey, also spoke about essential entrepreneurial skills which opened students minds to the different routes they could pursue after university. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn more about the multiple benefits of joining the HSD Programme, from receiving support and inspiration, to opportunities for networking and learning from key leaders.
A highlight of the event was how passionate the speakers were about inspiring the students who attended. Elena Corchero told students “It is a really incredible and unique time for all of you to merge your passions into one” when speaking about the future of technology. Senior Developer Advocate at Huawei further encouraged students and developers with creative minds to get involved in the tech industry to help grow projects in the future.
Gen Ashley, founder of TECH(K)NOW Day, also spoke passionately about how more women are joining the tech industry. “It is an opportunity to change the picture as we’ve seen in the past the attendees of developer events can be predominately male, but recently in the last few years the scope of women getting involved has increased and it is an exciting time to be involved in the change” Ashley responded when asked what she loved about being a woman in tech, which was great encouragement for all the female students who attended the event.
The HSD UK Launch proved to be a huge success, with students saying that not only did they enjoy learning about innovative topics in the tech world, but that they thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to network with other students, industry leaders, Huawei representatives and University professors and looked forward to attending more HSD UK events in the future.

Within the framework of this mission, we have brought more than 5,000 talents to the Turkish IT ecosystem since the day we were founded.
In addition to offering elective courses in fields such as artificial intelligence, Huawei Mobile Services, software and cloud technologies at universities all over Turkey, we gave more than 50 technical seminars at these universities in the past year alone. As part of the Huawei Student Developer Program (HSD), we help university students discover Huawei technologies and develop their skills using these technologies through our campus ambassadors at more than 10 universities. We have brought the worldwide 'Seeds for the Future' and 'Huawei ICT Academy' programs to Turkey, as well as encouraging young people with scholarships and awards by directing them to the software field with our projects such as the Huawei R&D Coding Marathon that we have implemented locally."
Event continued with topics Huawei Turkey R&D highlights, ICT Academy Program, 5G use cases, Low/No Code platform AppCube, Natural Language Processing and career opportunities provided by Huawei Turkey R&D center.
