 Wen Xuancai pointed out in his speech that the establishment of the affiliated school is the result of SLU’s comprehensive cooperation with Pudong New Area. It is the result of Pudong New Area's development as the "Demonstration District for Comprehensive Educational Reform and Innovation ", and SLU's effort to develop a unique educational brand with its distinctive features. He hoped that the affiliated school would keep in mind its original intention of educating people and be a practitioner of education that the public are satisfied with; aim to offer first-class education through inheritance and innovation; and be an active pioneer in the integration and development of the district and the school. He said that SLU would do its utmost to support development of the affiliated school in all aspects such as teacher training, curriculum development, educational reform, teaching research, and campus culture, and jointly run the school with the Pudong New Area Education Bureau. The university will also take this as an opportunity to further integrate its resources. By gathering talents, building teams, taking the initiative, and sticking to the end, it will contribute to Pudong’s development strategy of "high-level reform and opening up, high-quality development, high-quality life, and high-quality teams".

Ying Hua spoke on behalf of the Basic Education Department of the Municipal Education Commission. He pointed out that the joint establishment of the affiliated school by Pudong New Area and SLU can effectively promote the connection between higher education and primary and secondary education, the integration of the resources of the university and the primary and secondary school, and cultural exchanges between them, and practically promote the development of Pudong New Area as the "Demonstration District for Regional Comprehensive Educational Reform and Innovation in Shanghai" to enable the sharing of regional education and teaching resources, promote the coordinated development of regional education, give play to education in contributing to economic and social development and actively promote the “whole-chain, integrated” comprehensive education reform in Shanghai. He urged the affiliated school to remain committed to the fundamental mission to foster character and civic virtue, strive to improve the quality of education, inherit the characteristics of SLU education, and at the same time continue to improve school management and training of teachers.

Wang Hao, deputy director of Pudong New Area Education Bureau, said that the affiliated school is one of the five seeded schools in the reform of the new senior high school entrance examination in Pudong New Area, and is also a pilot school for the Municipal Education Commission's "Research and Practice of Integrated Curriculum Creativity Based on Regional Features" project. He hoped that the affiliated school could use the resources of the university to offer special programs involving finance, enhance the creativity of its integrated curriculum, and provide reference for Pudong and even the whole city.

  

In March 2019, the Pudong New Area Education Bureau signed an agreement with SLU to jointly build Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance Affiliated School based on Shanghai Gaoqiao-Donglu School, which is a first through ninth grade public school in Pudong New Area. It was established in September 1995 and currently has three campuses, namely Zhengda, Donglu, and Gaoxing, 62 classes in two phases, more than 2,500 students, and 164 faculty and staff members on regular payroll. The school has been rated as the Safe and Civilized Campus in Shanghai, the Model School for Primary and Secondary School Code of Conduct in Shanghai, the Shanghai Garden Unit, and the Characteristic School Specialized in Arts, Sports, Science and Technology in Pudong New Area.

  

The Pudong Education Conference held in early September made it clear that Pudong New Area will make full use of the educational and human resources of universities and encourage universities to take part in running high-quality and distinctive primary and secondary schools. The affiliated school is the first compulsory education school jointly run by the district and a university renamed and inaugurated after the conference. It’s a milestone in implementing the strategy of the conference and promoting the "Pudong Education Modernization 2035" initiative. In the future, the affiliated school will leverage SLU resources to customize a curriculum involving financial education for young children, develop a financial education content system suitable for primary and secondary school students, build a financial culture experience hall, and establish financial education as a signature for the school. At the same time, the school will also promote the development of an integrated moral education system for higher, secondary, primary education through kindergarten years, make full use of SLU's rich integrity education resources, and transform them into a strong driving force for strengthening the cultivation of students' core socialist values and keep on experimenting with new ways to innovate ideological and political education.
