Zheng points to the importance of an education in technology for entrepreneurship and innovation and says he will emphasize culture and education in the 13th Five-year Plan at the annual session of the congress.

He also says he disagrees with the idea of providing elite education in under-developed regions and that instead, China needs mass education for the fair distribution of education resources among people rather than among a small elite group.
