The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China (中华人民共和国教育部, MOE) is the central government authority overseeing China's entire education system, and it has emerged as one of the most active state drivers of digital-human adoption in the country, treating the technology as a strategic lever for educational equity, pedagogical innovation, and national AI competitiveness. Operating through its main portal (moe.gov.cn) and affiliated bodies such as the Basic Education Teaching Steering Committee, the National Youth Legal Education Network (qspfw.moe.gov.cn), and the China Education Technology Association (CAET), the MOE has built a multi-layered playbook around digital humans: at the policy level, its Basic Education Teaching Steering Committee released the Guidelines on Generative AI Use for Primary and Secondary School Students (2025 Edition), which explicitly endorses GenAI-powered "digital teachers" (数智教师 / 数字教师) for delivering personalized Q&A, learning-progress tracking, conversational-language practice, table-tennis coaching, and psychological counseling in teacher-scarce rural schools — pilots already running through universities like Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications under its "1+N" digital education assistance framework. At the higher-education tier, the MOE has certified 50 benchmark "AI + Higher Education" cases that lean heavily on digital-human cloning, knowledge graphs, and avatar-driven course videos to industrialize ideological-and-political (思政) and disciplinary teaching content. It also stages the flagship Education Digital Human Competition (教育数字人大赛), now in its third edition, which mobilizes international students studying in China to "tell China's story" through digital-human productions, and it foregrounds digital humans as a core agenda item at the annual World Digital Education Conference. In parallel, the MOE co-issues cross-ministerial industrial guidance with MIIT and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on virtual-space toolchains, while using its legal-education arm to flag the personality-rights, deepfake, and "digital resurrection" risks that come with the same technology — positioning the ministry simultaneously as China's largest institutional buyer of educational digital humans, its leading standards-setter, and its frontline regulator on classroom-facing AI ethics.
