Students get rare look into govt work

University students in Northwest China's Shaanxi province have been given a unique opportunity to complete internships with the provincial government in a move aimed at demystifying government work for the public.

It is the first time a provincial government has offered a large-scale internship program to university students, according to Tang Shaopeng, director of the provincial government's openness and media liaison office.

Tang said 50 university students started their month-long internships in 13 provincial departments on July 16.
