China Preschool Education
Preschool education, which began at age three and one-half, was
another target of education reform in 1985. Preschool facilities
were to be established in buildings made available by public
enterprises, production teams, municipal authorities, local groups,
and families. The government announced that it depended on
individual organizations to sponsor their own preschool education
and that preschool education was to become a part of the welfare
services of various government organizations, institutes, and
state- and collectively operated enterprises. Costs for preschool
education varied according to services rendered. Officials also
called for more preschool teachers with more appropriate training.
