2012年上海合作组织在教育领域的高层会晤机制是推进教育合作的重要保障。上海合作组织各成员国立足教育改革前沿，推动教育合作走向深入。除了继续落实上海合作组织领导人会议达成的共识与合作计划外，中国各级相关部门采取行动切实推进教育合作。教育合作是人文合作的重要组成部分。合作办学引领国际教育合作的新模式，大力推动双边国际教育交流是上海合作组织教育合作的主要趋势。
The top-level meeting mechanism in education adopted by SCO in 2012 is an important guarantee for the promotion of educational cooperation. Member states of SCO actively push for further and deeper cooperation in education while standing on the forefront of educational reform. Besides continuing to carry out the common understandings and cooperation plans reached at meetings of the SCO leaders, the concerned departments of various levels in China have taken active measures to earnestly promote educational cooperation, which is an important component of cooperation in humanities. In prospect, ushering in new models of international educational cooperation through joint school running, and vigorously advancing bilateral international educational exchanges are the main trend in future SCO educational cooperation.
