Although the weather at the end of November 2025 was less than inviting, the atmosphere during the visit was all the more warm and welcoming. Together with the HAS/HAK-AUL Flora Fries and the BFI Vienna Commercial Schools, we were delighted to welcome two delegations from Shenzhen and Jiangsu for an exchange in the field of business education. We presented our guests with the basic principles of the Austrian education system and provided insights into current priorities that shape our educational landscape.

The delegations were particularly impressed by the classroom visits, where the students demonstrated their openness, courage, and professional competence. Their performances clearly illustrated how vibrant and engaging learning is at our schools. In-depth discussions about challenges and opportunities revealed how closely we share similar goals despite our different starting points: to prepare young people for their future in the best possible way!
