BEIJING, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Here are the highlights of China's education news from the past week:

-- Law students recruited as legal aid volunteers in China's western regions

A government-sponsored program recruiting university students majoring in law as volunteers to offer legal aid in remote and poor counties of China's western regions has played a role in improving local legal services, the Ministry of Justice said.

Under the program, students are recruited each year in 11 provincial-level regions to work as legal aid volunteers for a one-year term, noted the ministry, which is also the initiative's co-sponsor.

Since its implementation in 2017, the program has seen more than 270 such volunteers recruited.

-- China boosts use of museum resources in education

China issued a guideline on further improving the cooperation between museums and primary and secondary schools across the country in an effort to better help students use museum resources.

The guideline, released by the country's Ministry of Education and the National Cultural Heritage Administration, stressed that museum resources should be fully utilized, asking museums to strengthen online education so as to promote the integration of museum resources into the education system.

There are currently more than 5,500 registered museums across the country.

-- China to advance opening up of education

China's Minister of Education Chen Baosheng called for promoting the opening up of education and introducing high-quality education resources from abroad.

Chen urged efforts to deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and other countries, encourage student mobility around the world, and reform the global education governance system at a high-level seminar on education held in Beijing.

China has become the largest source of international students in the world and Asia's largest destination for international students. Enditem
