China will continue to cultivate and attract talents to work in
the relatively poor western region to ensure its further
development, according to a circular issued on Sunday.
The circular said the country should give priority to the
development of education in the western region.
More money should be invested in the education sector in the
western region and enough primary and middle schools teachers
should be allocated in poor and remote areas, it said.
Training programs and practice opportunities should be provided
for government officials and enterprise managements to improve
their abilities, according to the circular.
It said local governments should make good use of the talents
who have been working there as well as attracting more talents, and
should train and attract more talents in medical, agricultural and
technical sectors.
The circular was co-issued by the General Office of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and General Office
of the State Council.
