Legislators’ proposals addressed
Print Edition
THE central authorities handled 11,735 suggestions and proposals submitted by legislators and political advisors in 2016, over 90 percent of all of those submitted.
Xi Yanchun, spokeswoman with the State Council Information Office told a press conference yesterday that State Council departments had responded to 7,873 suggestions raised by deputies to the National People’s Congress and 3,862 proposals put forward by members of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference during the annual sessions of the two bodies last March.
This means that 91.5 percent of the national legislators’ suggestions and 90.9 percent of political advisers’ proposals put forward during the two sessions were handled by the central authorities, Xi said.
More than 3,000 suggestions and proposals had been adopted by State Council departments and over 1,300 policies and measures have been introduced accordingly, Xi said, adding that the process had improved the quality of government decision-making.
The Ministry of Education, which handled 1,023 legislators’ suggestions and 805 political advisers’ proposals, introduced 81 new policies in 2016, most of which were inspired by the suggestions and proposals, said vice minister Shen Xiaoming.
Major issues included student life, educational equality and development of higher education, Shen said.
Inspired by the suggestions and proposals, the National Health and Family Planning Commission issued a guideline on what it calls “Healthy China.”
