Government Work Report amended to reflect future goals

The Government Work Report, which was approved by the National People's Congress on Friday, sets new goals for improving livelihoods and tightening pollution controls based on proposals and suggestions from NPC deputies and political advisers, a research official said.

Guo Wei, deputy director of the Research Office of the State Council, said at a news briefing that 83 changes have been made in the Government Work Report that was delivered by Premier Li Keqiang on the opening of the annual legislative session on March 5. The changes reflect a number of future goals.

The final report includes measures to enhance the training of rural teachers, support the development of education through private entities and to refine policies related to childbirth. The measures were inserted after the opinions of lawmakers and political advisers were gathered, he said.
