National primary schools are the foundation for different levels of school education, aiming at fostering healthy students and thoughtful citizens.
Ever since this city underwent reform in 1979, new schools have been built constantly and school premises have been renovated yearly. According to the financial budget, audio-visual facilities, computer classrooms, science classrooms, science apparatus and teaching tools for different subjects are supplemented; libraries, reading rooms and books are added; and more teachers are recruited, whereas the number of students per class has been reduced. It is hoped that by improving the teaching environment, the quality of teaching can be enhanced.
Regarding the development of special education, special classes are available in national primary schools. As for the physically and mentally retarded, there are classes for the blind, classes for the physically handicapped, classes for the mentally retarded, classes for the speech-impaired, autism classes, classes for the deaf, resource classrooms, home education and bedside teaching, etc. Regarding gifted education, there are classes for the gifted, in subjects such as Mathematics, Art, Music, Physical Education, Dance, Information classes, etc. By giving people an equal opportunity to receive an education, a more equitable learning environment will be provided and a student’s abilities will be better accorded.
