THIS year, Shenzhen will intensify its efforts to build a modern education system by 2005, concentrating especially on the city's senior high schools and compulsory public schools.
Yang Baisheng, director-general of Shenzhen Municipal Education Bureau said at a conference last week the city plans to build 10 new primary schools, five junior middle schools and two boarding senior high schools this year.
Shenzhen University and Shenzhen Polytechnic will expand their enrollment by 6,800 students.
In the first half of the year, Shenzhen Industrial School and Shenzhen Financial and Economics College will be merged into a new Shenzhen Information Technology Administration Institute.
In middle school education, the task of separating junior and senior high schools in Nanshan, Yantian, Bao'an and Longgang districts will continue.
The bureau will elevate 25-30 less advanced schools to district-level schools, giving them priority in the allocation of 10,000 newly purchased computers. Meanwhile, 400 schools will get direct access to the Internet by the end of 2001.
The bureau plans to establish model schools and launch innovative experiments. New evaluation systems will also be set up.
