administrative regulations. We worked with keen attention to handle the

suggestions and proposals of NPC deputies and CPPCC National Committee
members.
Online school teaching was introduced nationwide, and students returned to
school for the autumn semester. Over 10 million high school graduates successfully

urban and rural areas was enhanced. Solid steps were taken to address public
complaints. Audit-based oversight was vigorously conducted, and State Council
