In response to a reporter's question, Liu Changya, director of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Education, said that by the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the average educational years of the working-age population in China had reached 10.8 years. At the end of the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the state strives to increase the average educational years of the working-age population to 1 1.3 years. In order to achieve this goal.
There are the following paths:
First, continue to improve the level of education popularization. In the next step, compulsory education should be balanced with high quality to a greater extent, and the popularization level of high school education should be further improved. To further improve the popularization level of higher education, China's higher education will enter the popularization stage during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, and the gross enrollment rate of higher education will reach 54.4% in 2020. By 2025, the gross enrollment rate of higher education will strive to increase to 60%.
Second, in the process of improving the level of education popularization and the average length of education, we should constantly improve the quality. Compulsory education should be high-quality and balanced, especially to improve the quality of rural compulsory education. We should vigorously develop vocational education and train more technical and skilled personnel for the country to meet the needs of economic and social development.
To promote the classified management of higher education, we should not only promote the construction of "double first-class", so that the country has cutting-edge, innovative and innovative talents to lead development, but also cultivate a large number of applied and skilled talents, and promote the transformation of some ordinary undergraduate universities to application, so that the level of human resources development can better meet the needs of economic and social development in the process of continuous structural optimization.
Third, increase the per capita years of education. While improving the education level of new workers, we should constantly improve the level of human resources development of existing workers. Through the improvement of various systems, policies and measures, we will strive to build an education system that serves lifelong learning for all. Encourage people to continue to receive academic education in the process of study and employment, constantly improve their literacy in all aspects, better realize their personal values and make greater contributions to society.
