Nurturing new talent key for nation's growth

Advisers call for boosting use of AI in education, improving vocational courses

National political advisers have emphasized the importance of nurturing talent that can support China's social and economic development, as called for by President Xi Jinping during the two sessions, the annual meetings of China's top legislative and political advisory bodies.

After participating in a joint group meeting attended by Xi last week, national political advisers from the education sector said the new generation of capable young people is expected to adapt to evolving technology while maintaining strong moral grounding, intellectual ability, physical vigor, aesthetic sensibility and work skills.

Xi stressed at the meeting that it is necessary to keep pace with the times and master the tools and methods of applying artificial intelligence to empower education, while at the same time ensuring that the cultivation of students' intellectual ability and problem-solving skills is not neglected.
