What they say

"I'm totally for the new policy as, in the past, many students may have had good entrepreneurial ideas, but had no time or energy to realize them because of the fixed education system. Now students can have more flexible plans for their future on whether to continue or suspend studying to start a business."

Zhang Tianyi, a sophomore at Beijing Language and Culture University

"I don't think it's sensible for college students to suspend their studies to start a business, because a consistent four-year education at college is important for students' growth in all aspects: knowledge, experience and sense of value and so on. Students can engage in entrepreneurship after graduation."
