Leaders in Beijing's state-owned industrial enterprises (SOEs) who have lower than a junior college education as of 2005 will be eliminated from their posts, according to a Beijing city official.
Beijing has decided to make the personnel reform in the industrial SOEs by eliminating less educated leaders and bringing in others with university degrees.
Statistics show that the current average age of the leading groups in Beijing's industrial SOEs is about 46, and only 10.7 percent have master's degrees.
It is expected that by 2005, the average age of leaders in Beijing-based industrial SOEs will be under 40 and some 100 high-level technicians, experts and managers will be hired to guide the city's industrial circle.
