Since the promulgation of the educational Outline of the Plan , a series of measures have been taken nationwide including the launch of the "Three-Year Action Plan for Pre-school Education", which facilitated the rapid development of preschool education. The National Education Outline attached great importance to the development of preschool education in rural areas, striving to enhance the universalization of preschool education in rural areas. "Meanwhile, "promoting preschool education in rural areas" became one of the 10 major projects that were organized and implemented by the state.
