To enable everyone to have places to learn is not only the goal of education but also the goal of promoting social equity and justice. It has endowed every member of the society with the opportunities and rights to receive education on an equal footing. It does not only enable all children to have equal opportunities to receive public education but also provide every citizen with the conditions for lifelong learning.展开更多
