Education, science and technology, and human resources are the foundational and strategic pillars for building a modern socialist country in all respects.

We will fully implement the strategy for invigorating China through science and education, the workforce development strategy and the innovation-driven development strategy. We will open up new areas and new arenas in development and steadily foster new growth drivers and new strengths.

We will continue to give high priority to the development of education, build China's self-reliance and strength in science and technology, and rely on talent to pioneer and to propel development.

All this will see us producing first-class innovators and attracting the brightest minds from all over.
