BEIJING -- All primary and middle schools in China will soon be connected to the Internet, the Ministry of Education said on Monday.
Each school will have at least one state-of-the-art computer facility, according to a 2015 plan on digitalized education issued by the ministry in February.
The ministry expects local governments and enterprises to cooperate to help primary and middle schools in remote and poor rural areas get access to the Internet. It also suggested more fiscal support in setting up multi-media classrooms.
In 2015, 2.6 million teachers will be trained and assessed on information technology in kindergartens, primary and middle schools and along with 50,000 primary and middle school principals.
