Pan Biling, member of CPPCC Standing Committee and deputy general-director of Ecology and Environment Department of Hunan:

Recent years have witnessed rapid development in privately-run educational institutions. But at the same time, difficulties and challenges arise. If more support is given to privately-run educational institutions, they will have greater potential to grow. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted many privately-run kindergartens, and it is earnestly hoped that the government can help them through this crisis. I have made a proposal in this respect, advocating the adoption of a set of policies to alleviate the financial difficulties faced by privately-run kindergartens.
