Encouraging enlistment
Print Edition
CHINA allocated 1.63 billion yuan (US$242 million) of financial aid to encourage university students to join the army in 2016, according to the Ministry of Education.
A total of 124,100 university students — from undergraduates, postgraduates to doctoral students — received funding last year for enlistment in the armed forces, while 8,117 ex-servicemen were also subsidized with 44.6 million yuan of funding to pursue higher education degrees.
China has formed a comprehensive education aid system to encourage more university students to join the army, and those veterans can also be financially supported if they are willing to go to college, the ministry said.
