Smart Campus for Elementary and Middle Schools

Education is a fundamental task for long-term national development. During the process of accelerating the rise from a country featuring a large scale of education participants to a great education power, the education of young people is a top priority. As of 2018, China has 213,800 schools in the stage of compulsory education (elementary schools and junior high schools) and 24,400 schools in the high school stage (senior high schools and secondary vocational schools), with a total of more than 130 million students from elementary and secondary schools. They are the hope for the future of China, so China will go a long way toward the education of young people.

How to juggle the demands of each individual student when facing the whole class? How to optimize the process and improve efficiency for campus management? How to integrate and innovate the heterogeneous systems of information silos? How to make the infrastructure keep up with the development of informationization in the new era? In the era of the Education Informationization 2.0, the major challenge is to resolve the four major dilemmas in smart education development and fully unleash the potential of the smart campus.

Policy-driven and technology-assisted smart campus construction is a trend of the times

Education informationization plays an important role in achieving "smart education", and future-oriented talent cultivation is the development direction of "smart education". According to the Action Plan for the Education Informationization 2.0, it is necessary to carry out innovative research and demonstration of smart education based on artificial intelligence (AI), big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other emerging technologies. By 2022, China will basically achieve the development goal of the Action Plan for the Education Informationization 2.0 and build a network-based, smart, and custom-tailored education system.

Technological innovation has played a leading role in the development of education in recent decades in China. Schools are evolved from being equipped with multimedia equipment in the early times, to the digital mode of "computer + Internet", and to the smart mode of "AI + big data" that is now widely used in construction. It is not difficult to find that the development of education is a process of calling for new requirements for technologies. Technological innovation has become an important booster for accelerating educational reform and innovation, improving teaching quality and efficiency, and realizing the cultivation of highly competent talents.

According to the accurate insight into the future development of elementary and middle schools and years of deep exploration of education digitalization, H3C Group owned by Unisplendour Corporation Limited joined hands with UNIS Education Institution to launch a new smart campus construction solution for elementary and middle schools with "211" Construction Planning.

"211" Construction Planning boosts the smart campus

For the construction of smart campuses in elementary and middle schools, H3C Group proposed the innovative "211" Construction Planning. Specifically, it includes the improvement of the education environment and fine-grained management, namely, a super digital brain and a converged network for the campus.

For the construction of smart campuses in elementary and middle schools, H3C Group has adhered to the concept of "people-oriented education", focusing on the improvement of the educational environment. H3C places emphasis on the data-driven individualized teaching model for the construction of future classrooms. Teachers can obtain the data on student behavior, learning status, and grades, and then use the education big data platform to analyze the data, and conduct targeted teaching on students through smart decision-making. Students themselves can have personalized learning to fix their weak spots.

In addition, H3C achieves meticulous management with technologies. Through the intelligent upgrade of the campus management platform, H3C builds a campus IOC for campus environment management, so that the water and electricity consumption can be viewed, managed, and controlled. Nowadays, among the elementary and middle schools with H3C smart campus solution deployed, the regulation of passersby and vehicles at the school gates, cooking process monitoring, epidemic prevention and monitoring, as well as face recognition for admission and payment have undergone unprecedented changes besides the improved efficiency in processing complicated teaching tasks.

A campus super brain serving as a center for smart campus: As a new form for the smart campus under the cloud-edge collaboration mode, the campus super brain builds a new smart campus platform with data, AI, computing power, and software and hardware. It changes the interconnection mode of the traditional system and establishes a shared service mid-end on the unified platform, which can eliminate information silos between heterogeneous systems in a rapid, efficient, and cost-effective manner.

A converged network laying a foundation for constructing the smart campus: H3C has integrated wired networks, wireless networks, IoT, optical networks, and 5G networks to support smart applications on the campus. Besides, H3C has created a one-stop integrated platform for full-scenario security and O&M.

Technology empowering education and AI driving the development of the smart campus: As a leader in digital solutions, H3C keeps improving the top-level design capabilities of smart campuses in elementary and middle schools and develops valuable solutions. In the future, H3C will exert its advantages and double efforts to make innovation, helping hundreds of millions of Chinese teenagers make a good start for smart education.
