Policy push for innovation

The Ministry of Education recently issued a document stipulating that students admitted to universities can apply for a suspension if they start a business.

This is a fresh policy to encourage mass entrepreneurship and innovation. However, for the document's practical and effective implementation, the authorities still have much to do.

Some universities introduced measures encouraging students to temporarily suspend their schooling to start a business more than a decade ago, and there have been a few success stories over the years.
