What they say

As an educator with more than 40 years of experience, I believe that family is the first school for children. Parents are the first teachers for their children, and family education is vital in terms of cultivating children's minds and adaptability. I suggest parents should devote more time to family education instead of too much time and money in choosing the best schools.

China plans to renovate an unprecedented 20 million buildings in its shantytowns during the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20). The plans for shantytown renovations this year have been drafted about two months earlier than before. The government has raised the necessary subsidies, and loans from China Development Bank also have been obtained.
