Premier Li Keqiang stressed in the government work report that China will develop more equitable and higher quality education. Government budgetary spending on education will remain above 4 percent of GDP, and central government spending on education will exceed one trillion yuan. The commitment has been echoed by the NPC deputies from Jiangsu.
Li Hongbin, a deputy to the National People's Congress, came from the Nanjing Foreign Languages School. He found that students are very eager to personalize their own interests and specialties, and hope that the school can provide more diverse teaching content.
With regard to meeting the diversified demands of the students, the NPC deputies noted that "Internet + education" is mentioned for the first time in the government work report, which is expected to bring more possibilities for the development of a more equitable and higher quality education.

Efforts should be made to create an Internet + education public welfare platform to enrich more quality education resources.
Huangpu Litong, NPC deputy
In the government work report, besides Internet + education, quality resource sharing is also mentioned. It is important for every region, every school, especially underdeveloped areas and schools to be able to enjoy the advanced and excellent educational resources of the developed provinces.
Good teachers are decisive for a more equitable and higher quality education. Many NPC deputies have put forward suggestions on strengthening the cultivation of the teaching faculties. Wang Hongjun, an NPC deputy from a vocational school, said that this year's government work report proposed to solve the shortage of high-skilled talents by arranging for higher vocational colleges to enroll 1 million more students, making them feel that the responsibility was great as it has become a top priority to train front-line experienced teachers.

There is a disconnection between the talents cultivated in vocational education and the needs of the society. The most important thing is the lack of the integration of teaching and practice. Teachers must go deep into the industry and enterprises to understand the development of the whole technology, and then follow the technical skills of vocational education and carry out teaching programs for the cultivation of talents.
In recent years, Jiangsu has made strenuous efforts and active explorations to manage its education to the satisfaction of the people. In the view of the NPC deputies, in the face of the new situation and new tasks put forward in this year's government work report, the development of education needs to seek breakthroughs in a larger field and higher positions, and better serve the economic development.
Xiong Sidong, NPC deputy
I think that in the process of development and the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region, the integration of higher education can be preceded with the separation of administrative regions. The higher education in the Yangtze River Delta can be built as a functional area for education so as to guide the integration of industries, talent cultivation and scientific research.
