Translation:

•Since its reform and opening up to the world, China’s educa tion has gone through rapid development and made remarkable achievements. The Chinese government gives first/top priority to the development of education, persists in revitalizing the country by science and education, and fully advocates quality-oriented education. Meanwhile, it actively promotes equality in education to ensure that everyone has access to education. China’s achievements in education can be reflected in two different layers: One is the popularization of the nine-year compulsory education; the other is the realization of mass higher education. The development of education has made significant contributions to China’s economic development and social progress. In recent years, to satisfy/meet the needs of social and economic development, the Chinese government has sped up the training of qualified personnel (who are) urgently needed in various fields.
