Education minister: Preschool teaching to see improvements

China will further boost the training and number of preschool teachers to offer safer, cheaper and more convenient early childhood education, a senior official said on Friday.

"While we're still working on the enrollment rate for children of preschool age, people are now demanding preschool education of better quality," Chen Baosheng, minister of education, said at a news conference on the sidelines of the annual legislative session.

The development of preschool education lags behind the demand, he said.
