新年伊始，枫叶教育集团创始人·董事长任书良博士向枫叶教育集团全体员工发来新年寄语，并致以最诚挚的新年祝愿。

以下为新年寄语全文：

全体枫叶同仁：

大家好！值此2023新年即将到来之际，我谨代表枫叶教育集团董事会，祝全体同仁在新的一年里平安、顺意。

回首这一年，疫情的消耗，政策的影响，集团个别项目、校区的危机，成为枫叶教育创业以来最难的一年。逢此多事之秋，集团又痛失创始团队重要成员——李万庆名誉主席。一系列变故与挑战，枫叶人在曲折中艰难前行。庆幸的是，我们挺了过来，拼尽全力做好调整，保留了希望火种，为未来发展积蓄了力量。

这一年，集团修订后的第六个五年规划，确立了枫叶人未来三十年、五十年乃至一百年的奋斗目标。二元战略、双擎驱动，我们的方向从未如此清晰，信念从未如此坚定，规划修订为枫叶教育新时期发展注入了动力。

这一年，继对标完成枫叶世界学校课程第二期和Cognia成功评估之后，UK-ENIC于今年十月向全球一万多家大专院校、教育机构、政府机构发出枫叶世界学校课程阶段性对标报告，海内外知名高校陆续在官网公布枫叶世界学校课程录取标准，枫叶世界学校课程已成为继A-Level、IB之后的全球性认证课程。

这一年，在过去三年半成功路演基础上，《中国特色国际化课程蓝皮书》付梓，枫叶世界学校课程作为本土国际化课程“零的突破”再次轰动业界。

这一年，枫叶教育大厦喜迎乔迁，枫叶人开启了二次创业新征程。

从年初到岁尾，大家忙了一整年，有付出、有奉献、有进步。这一切，我们看到了，也感悟到一支坚韧不拔、欣欣向荣的枫叶团队。这里有可亲可敬的同事，有日新月异的发展，有接续传承的事业。经历2022一年来的风雨，我们比任何时候都更珍惜这个团队及来之不易的成绩。

2023新的一年，随着国家疫情防控政策调整，疫情时代即将终结。此时此刻，百废待兴，百业待举！三年来，我们暂时的蛰伏、隐忍、阵痛、损失都有了意义，那些无法打倒我们的，终将使我们强大！枫叶人必须抖擞精神，抓住机遇，伴随着新年第一缕曙光的照进，吹响发展号角！我们要追回三年错失的时光，加快集团转型步伐，加快学校规模发展！既争百年，也争朝夕!

此时此刻，畅想2023，我的内心激越澎湃。新年将至，再次祝大家新年快乐，幸福安康！让我们不负韶华，砥砺前行，共同迎接2023年的到来！谢谢。

Dear colleagues,

Greetings! The year of 2023 is yet to come. On behalf of Board of Maple Leaf Educational Systems, I would like to extend the best wishes to all Mapleleafers!

Looking back on this year, it has been the most difficult year for MLES since we started the entrepreneurship due to the epidemic and the impact of policies. In this eventful time, Mr. Li Wanqing, the Honorary Chairman of founding team, left us. Mapleleafers have been striving survival through overcoming a series of challenges. Fortunately, we survived and tried our best to make adjustments for future development.

This year, the revised CMLES 6th Five-Year Plan established the goals of Mapleleafers in the next 30, 50 years. With the dual strategy and dual engine drive, our direction has been extremely clear and our determination has been truly firm. The revised Plan has injected vitality into the development of Maple Leaf Education in the new era.

This year, following the completion of the second-phase benchmarking of Maple Leaf World School Program and the successful inspection of Cognia, UK-ENIC in October issued a phased benchmarking letter of MLWSP to over 10,000 global colleges and universities, educational institutions, and government agencies. Accordingly, some universities at home and abroad have published their admission criteria for MLWSP on their official websites to recognize MLWSP, a globally accredited curriculum like A-Level and IB.

This year, based on the successful roadshows in the past three and a half years, Blue Book of Maple Leaf World School Program Incorporating Chinese Elements was published, and as a "zero breakthrough" of local international courses, once again great influence among the industry has taken place.

This year, Maple Leaf Education Building was relocated, and Mapleleafers started a new journey of entrepreneurship for the second time.

For the whole year, we have made contributions and progress through your hard work. The Management have seen all this. We cherish the team and your achievements.

In the new year of 2023, we foresee and expect the epidemic era is coming to an end. At this moment, all kinds of things need to be done and fixed! Mapleleafers must be energetic to work hard and speed up the development to recover the lost time of three years, accelerate the MLES transformation, and realize the tasks of CMLES 6th Five-Year Plan.

At this moment, I feel excited to imagine 2023 and I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year! Let's welcome the arrival of 2023 together!

Thank you!
