The province has also made outstanding efforts in building infrastructure, successfully converting 353 preschools from semi-public to public. A system of spacious school buildings has been constructed to meet the needs of childcare. Teaching quality and the teaching staff are highly standardized, with 95% of teachers teaching 5-year-olds exceeding the required training standards. The enrollment rate of 5-year-olds is high, and the children are intelligent, healthy, and have good communication skills. All three basic criteria have been met.
