Beijing Issues Regulation on Pre-schooler's Education
Beijing recently issued the country's first pre-school education regulation, which will go into effect on September 1.
According to Tao Xiping, a local legislator, the code, for the first time, lowers the starting age for pre-school education from 3 years of age to newly born infants, which is described as "a big breakthrough" in China's education system.
Parents in China used to let their children receive systematic education from the age of three, but the new regulation advocates earlier education.
However, it is compulsory and does not force parents to send their infants to pre-school.
