Region to improve preschool education

THE Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is to build more kindergartens and hire more bilingual teachers to improve its bilingual preschool education.

A total of 4,387 bilingual kindergartens will be built or expanded this year, its education department said yesterday, and 10,000 bilingual teachers will be hired, 6,500 more than in previous years.

The region will also provide more training courses for bilingual teachers and encourage more college graduates to work as bilingual teachers.

From 2011 to 2015, Xinjiang built 2,500 new bilingual kindergartens in rural areas, bringing its preschool education penetration rate to 77 percent, or 480,000 preschoolers, according to official figures.
