To Safeguard Educational Dignity with Technology: Cooperation

On April 28, 2025, the Handover Ceremony for the Donation of Ergonomic Chairs to Improve Teachers' Working Environment in Tanzania was grandly held in Zanzibar, under the joint initiative of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Shenzhen Sihoo Intelligent Furniture Co., Ltd. (Sihoo). On the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Tanzania, this event was carried out with the theme of "Decent Work and Economic Growth" among the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the ceremony, hundreds of sets of ergonomic chairs and related supplies worth over USD 100,000 were donated to teachers in the Mainland and Zanzibar, Tanzania, in an effort to alleviate the local structural shortage crisis among teachers through a better the working environment of basic education workers and to promote educational equity and regional sustainability. The ceremony was attended by the representative of UNESCO in Tanzania, leaders of relevant government agencies in Zanzibar, Li Qianghua, Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in Zanzibar, Luo Huiping, Chairman of Sihoo, and Chen Zhuo, Sihoo's General Manager for the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America regions, among others.

Zanzibar, a world cultural heritage site and a millennium-old city integrating African, Arab, Indian and European civilizations, is currently facing severe educational challenges. According to the monitoring data from relevant government agencies in Tanzania, there is a shortage of 816 science teachers in the region from kindergarten to secondary school level. Among them, the shortage of physics teachers amounts to 259, while that of mathematics teachers reaches 430. This structural shortage has led to a continuous downturn in the teaching performance of schools in many parts of Tanzania.

"The high turnover rate of teachers is not only an educational crisis but also a common challenge to human civilization," said Luo Huiping, Chairman of Sihoo, at the ceremony. The company mainly donated ergonomic chairs, which can effectively relieve the fatigue caused by prolonged sitting. Their adjustable features cater to the needs of teachers with different body types, reflecting Sihoo's humanistic care for educators. Luo Huiping emphasized, "What Sihoo donates is not just chairs, but also a systematic safeguard of the professional dignity of teachers." As ergonomic experts who have been deeply engaged in the industry for 14 years, we have always believed that improving the working environment is not merely an expense, but a long-term investment in human creativity."

Chen Zhuo, Sihoo's General Manager for the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America regions, stated, "China has deepened cooperation with Africa through the Belt and Road Initiative and constructed a large number of infrastructure facilities. As a key partner of our country, Tanzania has maintained in-depth cooperation with China in various fields and shared the achievements of development with China. By donating ergonomic chairs to improve teachers' working environment in Tanzania, Sihoo demonstrates its commitment to elevating global working health standards through innovative designs."

Dr. Faith Shayo, the representative of UNESCO in Tanzania, expounded on the significance of the project from a global perspective. As she said, this cooperation promotes community development through education, effectively contributing to the achievement of the UN SDGs. In the Zanzibar region, it enhances educational infrastructure through the collaboration between enterprises and the government, and facilitates the healthy and all-round development of students, while also strengthening the construction of the international partnership network.

At the Handover Ceremony for the Donation of Educational Equipment to Dodoma Secondary School, Lela Mohamed Mussa, Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Zanzibar, expressed her sincere gratitude to UNESCO and Sihoo for their efforts in improving the teaching environment for teachers and students and enhancing the quality of education. As Mussa emphasized, the Zanzibar government is actively promoting educational reforms and strengthening the modernization of schools, because improving the working conditions of teachers has a remarkable effect on retaining excellent teaching staff and enhancing the quality of education.

Chairs are silent witnesses and health guardians in the evolution of human civilization. From the agricultural civilization to the intelligent era, the forms and functions of chairs have always reflected humanity's pursuit of comfort and health. In the early days of Chinese civilization, sitting on the floor was a symbol of etiquette and culture. After the Industrial Revolution, chair design shifted towards practicality and large-scale production. The Bauhaus Movement gave birth to tubular steel chairs and other modern designs, highlighting functionalism and mass appeal. Since the 21st century, the internet and smart technologies have bestowed new missions upon chairs: evolving from mere "tools" into "health partners." The waist problems caused by prolonged sitting have become a global challenge, and Sihoo's ergonomic chairs emerged in response to the needs of the times, redefining the value of chairs with technology.

Sihoo's mission originated from the recognition of the issues caused by prolonged sitting. The BM Dynamic Waist Tracking System developed by Sihoo captures the movement trajectory of the human body, enabling real-time adaptive adjustment of the waist support and breaking through the limitations of the "static support" of traditional chairs. Such innovations not only alleviate fatigue but also transform chairs from passive load-bearing items into active tools for health management.

As we step into the virtual world, the role of chairs is likely to be further elevated. Sihoo has introduced the concept of the "Life Support Cabin," which integrates multiple functions such as heart rate monitoring and health early warning. This innovation aims to create a future health defense system that seamlessly merges the virtual and the physical realms. This exploration not only upholds the "people-oriented" essence of chairs, but also reflects humanity's enduring quest for its own value throughout the evolution of civilization. From sitting on the ground in the past to the dynamic waist support nowadays, chairs have always been a reflection of civilization. In the modern era, Sihoo stands as a guardian of spinal health, leveraging technological innovations to protect people's wellbeing. It leaves its mark on our time, demonstrating how it contributes to our health as history progresses.

From the R&D center in Shenzhen to the classrooms in Zanzibar, this donation initiative, which spans the Indian Ocean, exemplifies a new paradigm of South-South cooperation. Since its establishment, Sihoo has consistently invested in educational public welfare. It has donated learning equipment to schools across various regions in China, including Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces. This recent expansion of its public welfare efforts to Africa signifies the global application of its concept of "healthy technological innovation." Mr. Luo Huiping ever said, "In the undercurrent of anti-globalization, we must construct even more robust bridges for mutual learning between civilizations. When the social responsibility of enterprises aligns with UNESCO's mission to eradicate educational poverty, it can infuse a humanistic drive into sustainable development."

A special segment featuring a traditional dance performance was arranged during the donation ceremony. The dancers, dressed in traditional costumes, used body language to showcase the cultural fusion of Zanzibar. This perfectly echoes the underlying logic of the donation ceremony: just as the architecture in the Stone Town embodies the wisdom of multiple civilizations, the development of education also requires global collaboration.

With the arrival of the last batch of donated equipment in Africa, teachers in Zanzibar stand poised for a historic enhancement of their teaching environment. The Stone Town, a witness of the fusion of human civilizations for thousands of years, is now writing a new chapter for South-South cooperation-safeguarding educational dignity with technology and lifting up the future of civilization with scientific designs.
