教育部:未來5年資助150萬農民工上大學

The Chinese government will provide free adult education for 1.5 million migrant workers in the next five years to improve literacy and work skills, the Ministry of Education said last Thursday.

教育部上週四表示，我國政府將在未來5年向150萬農民工免費提供成人教育，旨在提高其文化水平與就業能力。

Starting in 2016, the government will help 300,000 migrant workers receive post-secondary education at universities or community colleges each year, according to the ministry.

教育部表示，2016年起，政府每年將幫助30萬農民工接受本科、專科兩個層次的高等學歷繼續教育。

The program will strengthen training employees of companies with overcapacity, who are likely to be made redundant as the nation pushes forward economic restructuring, in new skills.

隨着國家推進經濟轉型，產能過剩企業的員工可能被裁減，該項目將加強對其新技能的培訓。

Government statistics show China had 277 million migrant laborers as of the end of 2015, while only about 23.8 percent of them had received a high school or higher education and 7.3 percent had received a community college or university education.

政府統計數據顯示，截至2015年底，中國全國共有2億7700萬農民工，但是隻有百分之23.8的人接受過高中以上教育，百分之7.3接受過大專或大學教育。

The ministry urged institutions to improve educational quality for migrant workers and said it will establish an appraisal system. Authorities will also establish an online learning platform for workers' convenience, it said.

教育部要求相關院校提高針對農民工的教育質量，並表示將建立教學質量評價機制。此外，政府還將建立一個方便工人們學習的在線學習平臺。
