Juvenile delinquency

An official from the Supreme People's Court revealed on Wednesday that the number of juvenile delinquents is increasing at the annual rate of 13 percent from the year 2000.

Another figure will even more clearly indicate how serious the juvenile delinquency is: the number of crimes committed by juveniles makes up 70 percent of the total criminal offenses nationwide; the offenses committed by juveniles between the age of 14 and 18 account for 70 percent of the entire crimes by juvenile delinquents.

The future of a country lies in the hands of its younger generation. That is why we believe that the role of education can never be overestimated in fostering one generation after anther that is capable of doing a better job in many ways than their forefathers.
