Work to expand enrollment of students from poor areas in prestigious universities should be continued, Li said, adding efforts should be made to create equal educational opportunities for children from various family backgrounds.

Additionally, Li urged improving medical services for children, increasing the number of pediatricians, and addressing shortages of pediatric medications and other medical resources.

More effective measures should be worked out to address birth defects and malnutrition of children, Li added.

Special care should be provided to orphans and sick, disabled and homeless children, as well as rural children whose parents have left home to work in cities as migrant workers.

Moreover, Li added that the government will continue to crack down on human trafficking and other crimes that target women and children.
