On December 30, 2003, the National Steering Group for Science, Technology and Education under the new cabinet held the second meeting and heard the report by the Ministry of Education on "Action Plan for Rejuvenating Education 2003-2007" and "The Program for Strategic Breakthrough in the Universalization of Nine-Year Compulsory Education and Eradication the Illiteracy among Middle-aged and Young Group in the West". //
The "Action Plan for Rejuvenating Education 2003-2007" identifies the direction, tasks and objectives of educational development in China for the next 5 years, clarifying the detailed requirements for educational reform and development. Meanwhile, "The Program for Strategic Breakthrough in the Universalization of Nine-Year Compulsory Education and Eradication the Illiteracy among Middle-aged and Young Group in the West" puts forward the details on the universlization of NYCE and the eradication of illiteracy among middle-aged and young group in the western areas. //
The implementation of these two Programs will play an important role in improving the overall national quality and pursuing cohesive and sustainable development of economy and society. The Ministry of Education will comply with the requirement set by the meeting and carry out the two programs carefully from the strategic perspective of rejuvenating China through science, technology and education, developing China through talents, and promoting the process of Grand Western Development. //
In the future, the educational work in China will follow the principle of "consolidating existing achievements, deepening reform, improving quality and pursuing sustainable development" to promote the overall, healthy, rapid and sustainable development of education of various forms and at all levels. //
The first priority is to promote the educational reform and development in rural areas. In China, 70% of the population inhabits in rural areas and the students in primary and secondary schools in rural areas have amounted to 160 million. 2004 will witness the implementation of "The Program for Strategic Breakthrough in the Universalization of Nine-Year Compulsory Education and Eradication the Illiteracy among Middle-aged and Young Group in the West". It is planned that in the next five years, the universalization of NYCE and eradication of illiteracy will be realized in the western areas so that all the children in the west can have access to education, fulfilling the purpose of the Program. //
In those western and central areas where the NYCE has been universalized, the achievements are to be consolidated and quality of the NYCE and compulsory education should be further improved. In the areas with developed economy, the NYCE should be universalized at a higher level with better quality. At the same time, we will promote the development of Modern Distance Program for Primary and Secondary Schools in Rural Areas and try to improve the management system for compulsory education in rural areas in which the county will act as the main management body. //
We will intensify our efforts in implementing the "Program on Teaching Quality and Teaching Reform in HEIs" and in the deepening of teaching reform in HEIs so that the quality of higher education and the quality of talents produced by higher education can be further improved. We will concentrate our resources to strengthen the efforts in developing world class universities and key disciplines. By carrying out the second round of 985 Program and 211 Project, a system for key disciplines with reasonable structure and individual advantages and characteristics can be built up.
