This vision aligns perfectly with AW Education International's mission of "enhancing students' global competence". The $500,000 donation will focus on linking top-tier global educational and technological resources, providing young students with more diverse growth opportunities. These opportunities include regularly hosting international forums, seminars, and public welfare projects, as well as offering benefits such as STEAM competitions, AI frontier exploration, interdisciplinary courses, cross-disciplinary workshops, high-end social salons, and high-end study tours. These initiatives will allow young people to interact face-to-face with top global experts and scholars, discuss global issues together, and inspire more possibilities for young students to contribute wisdom and strength to addressing global challenges. A Decade of Transformation: From Service Provider to Global Education Ecosystem Builder Since its establishment in 2014, AW Education International has been committed to the mission of "enhancing the global competence of Chinese students." The brand has consistently penetrated high-net-worth customer segments, becoming a strategic partner of major banks in mainland China, a designated cooperation agency for private banking, and a partner for many high-end insurance companies and family offices. In the era of globalization, AW Education International recognizes that the youth are the future of the nation and the hope of the world. At the donation ceremony, Guo Liwei, Co-Founder of AW Education International and Executive Dean of the AW Heritage Education Institute, also emphasized the importance of the alliance: "We hope that through cooperation with BIM, we can provide a global platform for young people to transcend national boundaries and break down barriers. We can help link higher-quality academic resources and practical opportunities, allowing them to access cutting-edge academic knowledge, participate in meaningful public welfare activities, and develop their leadership and teamwork skills, ultimately becoming an important force for social progress and family succession." This donation and cooperation mark a significant milestone in AW Education International's ten-year journey and a perfect interpretation of its accumulated experience. It not only demonstrates the organization's forward-looking vision as an industry leader but also signifies its transformation from an educational service provider to a global education ecosystem builder. Amid the challenges of globalization, AW Education International is innovatively creating a bridge that integrates Eastern and Western education. By doing so, it offers Chinese wisdom and practical models for nurturing a new generation of global leaders and family successors, contributing to the development of global governance in a new era.

ASEAN-UK SAGE is the UK's flagship education programme in Southeast Asia, supporting girls and marginalised communities to access education and improve foundational learning. JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the UK in collaboration with ASEAN Secretariat opened applications for the second year of Women in STEM Scholarships under the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls' Education (ASEAN-UK SAGE) programme. This initiative reaffirms the UK's commitment to empowering women in Southeast Asia and Timor-Leste to overcome barriers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), enabling more women to lead in these fields. This fully funded scholarship programme offers 11 exceptional women from 10 ASEAN Member States (AMS) and Timor-Leste the opportunity to pursue Master's degrees at two of the UK's leading universities: The University of Warwick and The University of Manchester. The ASEAN-UK SAGE offer complements the British Council Scholarships for Women in STEM also launched today. In AMS, there is a mixed picture of gender parity in access and performance in STEM subjects. Despite outperforming boys in mathematics and science in primary and secondary education, but women remain underrepresented in STEM in tertiary education for only 19.3% women compared to 39.8% men obtain STEM degrees[1]. Women doctoral degree students are a minority[2]. According to UNESCO, women account for a minority of the world's researchers[3]. In 2019, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide were women and only 30%of female students select STEM-related fields in higher education[4]. Specifically for East Asia and the Pacific, women researchers accounted for 25%[5]. This disparity continues into the workforce, with the 2022 UN progress report on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5, Gender Equality, indicating that only 20% of jobs in STEM sector are held by women globally and only 16.5% women inventors are associated with a patent[6]. ASEAN-UK SAGE Programme tackles gender barriers to basic digital skills for employment, aiming to support the development of basic digital skills for marginalised groups to improve employment opportunities and therefore quality of life, which helps narrow the development gap in ASEAN. The ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships support this goal by providing financial assistance to disadvantaged women from ASEAN countries and Timor-Leste to access UK education in key STEM-related fields. In 2024, the first year of the ASEAN-UK SAGE scholarships, 12 women from nine countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam, and Timor-Leste) went to the UK to study a range of STEM subjects from Environmental Data Science and Machine Learning to Engineering Business Management at master's level at Imperial College London and the University of Warwick. They will be returning home after the end of the UK academic year. Secretary-General of ASEAN, H. E. Dr. Kao Kim Hourn said: "ASEAN's workforce is vast, and it is imperative to harness the full potential of humanity by encouraging both girls and boys, men and women, to pursue and excel in STEM education, which is critical for the future world of work. By doing so, we ensure that ASEAN remains at the forefront of global economic and technological progress. This scholarship comes at a timely moment as we in ASEAN look towards increasing the involvement of ASEAN women in STEM fields, reinforcing our commitment to gender inclusivity and sustainable development in alignment with regional and global priorities." Ambassador of the UK to ASEAN, H. E. Sarah Tiffin said: "The UK is proud to support women in STEM in ASEAN. Supporting women benefits everyone. The ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships are a concrete demonstration of the UK's commitment to inclusive and sustainable development through education and women's empowerment. They exemplify the thriving partnership between the UK and ASEAN. The exceptional women who are undertaking the scholarships this year will return to their home countries to launch their STEM careers, driving science and innovation. They will advocate for women and inspire the next generation. And we hope they will build on their experience to develop research collaborations between ASEAN and the UK, where our universities are known for their top-notch STEM programmes." Summer Xia, Director Southeast Asia, British Council said: "Recognising the vital role of women in shaping the future of science and innovation, we are proud to also launch the fifth year of the British Council Women in STEM Scholarships. This programme offers over 65 scholarships globally, including 25 for outstanding women from East Asian countries this year. These prestigious scholarships are more than just financial support—they are a gateway to world-class education, cutting-edge research, and a powerful global network of women leaders in STEM. With both scholarship programmes, we want to equip talented women with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive, investing in a future where they will break barriers, drive discoveries, and inspire the next generation. Applications for both the ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships and the British Council Scholarships for Women in STEM are now open until mid-April 2025, covering tuition fees, stipends, travel costs, visas, and health coverage."
