Training lays out path away from poverty

Access to vocational education to be improved for workers, students

Impoverished workers will get more access to vocational training in the next two years, which can help them improve their incomes and shake off poverty, according to an action plan released recently by China's top human resources and poverty-relief agencies.

Registered impoverished workers and middle school students who failed to continue their education will be eligible for vocational training and technical education by the end of 2020, according to the action plan issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development.
