Preschools are the "weakest" part of China's education system, according to the Chinese Government, which says it will generally improve the country's kindergartens to ensure a quality start for children.

A State Council document posted on Gov.cn on November 26 said the government will spend more money on building, restoring and expanding kindergartens to raise safety levels and meet increasing enrollment demands.

Acknowledging progress made so far, the State Council noted, "Generally speaking, preschools are still the weakest part of our country's education."

The State Council encouraged more favorable policies to promote communities, rural areas, and social organizations to establish and support kindergartens.
