Call for compulsory education equality

THERE must be more even development of compulsory education between rural and urban parts of China to bridge a gap in quality, the country’s leaders said yesterday.

A statement released after a meeting of the Leading Group for Overall Reform stressed careful distribution of resources among rural and urban schools offering nine-year compulsory education, and improved funding mechanisms for such education.

The meeting was chaired by President Xi Jinping, who is also head of the leading group, and attended by deputy heads Li Keqiang, Liu Yunshan and Zhang Gaoli, as well as other senior officials.

The statement urged that measures be taken to improve the quality of teaching at rural schools, stabilize the number of students in rural schools, guarantee the right of migrant workers’ children to receive education in cities, and take better care of children left at home by migrant-worker parents. The meeting adopted a document on standardizing law enforcement practices, which called for better mechanisms, regulations and training to ensure professional law enforcement.

There must be strict supervision over law enforcement, prominent problems in law enforcement must be solved, and efforts must be made to ensure that people believe the justice system is universally fair, the statement said.
