中国公布青少年发展10年计划

Chinese central authorities released a detailed¹ 10-year youth development plan Thursday, vowing² better education, employment and healthcare for the nation's youth.

 

中国中央政府周四公布一份详细的青少年发展10年计划，承诺为国家的青少年提供更好的教育、就业以及医疗保健。

 

"Youth" in the context of the plan released by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council refers to those aged³ from 14 to 35.

 

The Middle- and Long-term Youth Development Plan (2016-2025) sets a general goal of establishing a "youth development policy system and work mechanism⁴" by 2020 and improving the system by 2025.

 

Specifically, the plan sets educational goals of an average 13.5 years of education for the newly added labor⁵ force and a gross higher education enrollment⁶ rate of over 50 percent within 10 years. It aims for 90 percent of the groups to meet physical standards and give them more accesses to mental and physical care.

 

"Youth is the country's future and the nation's hope," reads the plan.

 

Authorities will strengthen educational campaigns targeting different ages within the group to champion patriotism⁷ and socialism with Chinese characteristics, making the "Chinese dream" a common goal for them, according to the plan.

 

The government will also narrow the educational gap across the country and pump more capital and resources into the less developed western areas, it says.
