Parents in too much of a rush trying to push their kids ahead

THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION has launched a campaign to put an end to the trend of more and more kindergartens to teach primary school courses. China Youth Daily comments:

This is not the first time the education authority has targeted kindergartens that have jumped-the-gun by providing lessons that should be taught in primary schools. Previously, primary and middle schools had been in the crosshairs of similar campaigns.

But it is unrealistic to anchor all hope on the administrative department's move, as the campaign cannot address the root cause of the practice, which stems from the insufficient supply of quality education resources.
