Wen urges 'practical' education to benefit poor, migrants
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-01-04 20:01 Wen said such prejudices should be discarded, and society should raise the salaries and social status of vocational workers. As for teaching system reform, Wen said curriculums should reflect the students' abilities and social needs, while reducing their study burdens. "Our main teaching method is still 'instill' instead of 'inspire.' Teachers should teach students to think, live and get along with others, in addition to knowledge. That is the aim of our education reform." Wen also addressed key issues including college education, the school system, teacher development and educational investment. The 12-year education plan, which Wen called "a tough mission," was drawn up in consultation with experts and reflected advice from school officials, teachers, students and parents.
