China Announces Ambitious Plan to Strengthen Education by 2035

The 2024-2035 blueprint aims to build a world-class education system to support national development and address demographic challenges.

China's Communist Party and State Council released a comprehensive plan to establish a leading global education system by 2035.
The plan prioritizes expanding access to free education, increasing high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate enrollment, and boosting the proportion of doctoral students.
Efforts will focus on narrowing the education gap between urban and rural areas and improving resources for small rural schools and migrant children.
The initiative includes measures to promote physical and mental health in schools, such as daily physical activity and mental health monitoring systems.
The education reforms are part of China's strategy to address declining population growth and foster innovation for national modernization.
