Talking about the phenomenon that "research and study travel" has gradually become "research and study fever", Zhang Dong said that this is actually a change in parents' educational concept, and the improvement of people's living standards is also one of the aspects.
"Parents recognize the importance of children's development in many aspects, and the concept of talent cultivation has changed. It is also related to the school's emphasis on quality education and students' desire to acquire knowledge."
