Country set to advance sci-tech popularization

China is expected to promote science education and increase the cultivation of relevant talent, in an effort to strengthen science popularization and stimulate innovation-driven development, according to a draft law revision.

The draft revision to the Science and Technology Popularization Law was submitted for first review on Monday to an ongoing session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.

This is the first revision of the law since it was enacted in 2002.
