Ningbo noon school offers alternative to night classes

Enrollment in night schools has surged in recent years, but in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, a new educational initiative aims to address the needs of those who cannot attend evening classes due to other commitments.

The 81890910 Ningbo Talent Service Hotline, launched on April 19 under the guidance of the Talent Office of the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee and the city's human resources and social security bureau, received a call in early May from a young mother named Liu Jie. Liu inquired about the possibility of attending daytime classes, explaining that her responsibilities at home with her child prevented her from participating in night school.

The call set the wheels in motion for a new educational project.
