Abstract:

An accurate understanding of the purpose of the Triangle Partnership (partnership among schools families-society led by governments)serves as the most fundamental cornerstone and essential prerequisite for its effectiveness. “What”Triangle Partnership is for operates by optimizing the social environment and refining operational modalities, which in turn exerts an influence on individuals’ life experiences and further facilitates their growth progression and transformative growth. It needs a collective societal endeavour to rebuild expectations for childhood, enhance childhood experiences, and return to and reconstruct the Evolved Developmental Niche (EDN) of childhood——a process that may be termed “Experience Education” (“Bildung”). EDN childhood, an objective baseline from humanity’s evolution, is a prosocial paradigm of mixed-age free play, social learning and emotional harmony, with no educational goals but abundant fun. Fundamentally, as a core strategic task and capacity-building priority for constructing a leading education powerhouse, the Triangle Partnership is fundamentally the Construction of Modern Educational Institution. The Triangle Partnership, core to building an education powerhouse, focuses on optimal childhood and its social operation mode, aiming to reconstruct an EDN via family-anchored "dual reconstruction of childhood" for societal and national development.
