Cabinet Unveils Plan for Improving Education in Rural Schools

(Beijing) – The State Council has released a plan for improving the quality of education in rural areas over the next five years – a move the cabinet says is aimed at improving the quality of teaching at primary and secondary schools in the country's less-developed areas.

The plan, which was announced on June 8, presents ways to attract more qualified teachers to rural schools, particularly in remote central and western regions where economic development trails that in China's east.
