The task of educating a huge population can be challenging to any country. Though China has shown great concern and done much in education, and in eliminating illiteracy, it still has 153 million illiterate and semi-illiterate citizens, according to some statistics issued by the Ministry of Education. So, in my opinion, raising China's education level, to a large extent, depends on greater educational achievement in its vast western region and some other backward areas.
In the past decade, China has moved to combat illiteracy and promote nine years of compulsory schooling, especially in poor areas and areas inhabited by minorities, and has achieved a great success, but it seems a difficult task in regions where educational opportunities are limited. However, we should set a target that, by 2010, nine-year compulsory schooling should be realized and the illiteracy rate among young and middle-aged adults should be reduced to the minimum. Only in this way can China raise its national educational level.
教育的任務(wù)一個巨大的人口可以挑戰(zhàn)任何國家。雖然中國已表現(xiàn)出極大的關(guān)注，做了很多在教育，并在掃盲，仍有153000000文盲和半文盲公民，根據(jù)一些統(tǒng)計教育部頒發(fā)的。所以，在我看來，中國的教育水平的提高，在很大程度上取決于更大的教育成果，在廣大西部地區(qū)和其他一些落后地區(qū)。
在過去十年中，中國已經(jīng)打擊文盲和促進(jìn)九年義務(wù)教育，特別是貧困地區(qū)和少數(shù)民族聚居地區(qū)，并取得了巨大的成功，但它似乎是一個艱巨的任務(wù)，在地區(qū)教育機(jī)會是有限的。然而，我們應(yīng)該樹立一個目標(biāo)，2010年底，九年義務(wù)教育應(yīng)該認(rèn)識和文盲率在青年人和中年人應(yīng)減少到最低。只有這樣才能提高其國民教育水平中國。
