Good morning friends. Today I'm delighted to have the opportunity to exchange views on China's education with you. I hope you will provide suggestions to assist us in our work on education.
First, I want to talk about employment for college graduates. As is known, human resources are one of China's top resources. Quality human resources are essential for a nation's development. After years of effort, China has achieved a historic leap in the development of its higher education. The number of China's college students has increased dramatically.
However, many college graduates fail in getting satisfactory jobs. Is the college enrolment expansion that started a few years ago to be blamed? The source of the employment difficulty should not simply be identified as the enrolment expansion. Because college students only account for about 20% of China's population, which is far from being a surplus compared to other developing countries.
