BEIJING, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Here are the highlights of China's education news from the past week:

-- Education ministry formulates policies to help Chinese international students amid pandemic

China's Ministry of Education (MOE) has rolled out policies to help Chinese students who are facing difficulties in studying overseas amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ministry has been encouraging international students to finish their courses online as organized by their universities. The policies make it clear that students' alternative learning experience will not affect the authenticity of their college certificates and degrees.

The ministry will allow a number of existing Chinese mainland-based cooperative educational institutions and programs to admit qualified students who have already been admitted to universities overseas for undergraduate or postgraduate study starting this fall semester.

-- "Clear Your Plate" campaign promoted in Chinese schools

The MOE has released an action plan aimed at curbing food waste in schools and promoting the tradition of thrift among students.

The education of diligence and frugality should be integrated into courses offered by schools, ranging from kindergartens to universities, the MOE said in the document.

-- China blacklists sex offenders in teacher recruitments

Chinese authorities have ordered mandatory background checks on candidates in teacher recruitments in kindergartens and primary and middle schools, and those who have sex-related crime records will be blacklisted.

Such people are also banned from obtaining a teaching qualification, according to a circular jointly issued by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the MOE, and the Ministry of Public Security. Enditem
