Private schools need more support, says minister

Diversity is key in developing a sound and complete education system

Minister of Education Yuan Guiren called for more government support and opportunities for the development of private education to foster a sound and complete education system.

"Private education plays a very important role in the national education system. I suggest that the Government Work Report should clearly support the development of private education and the government should pay more attention to development of this sector," said Yuan during a group discussion at the session of the 12th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee.
