Put rural children first

More than 90 percent of 3,000 people surveyed online believe that charges for preschool education are too high. But this is far from where the real problem lies with such education.

Figures provided by a deputy to the National People's Congress suggest that more than 60 percent of rural children do not have access to kindergartens or nursery education.

While many urbanites complain that too much of their income is spent on kindergarten fees, most of their rural counterparts still consider such facilities a luxury.
