Sponsored by Ningbo municipal education Bureau, Ningbo Adult Education Association and Ningbo Community University, the 6th "Ningbo All-people Learning Week" was launched by the Education Department of Jiangbei District. The purpose of the All-people Lifelong Learning Week is to encourage the citizens to engage in learning and improve their overall quality. In the past few years, Ningbo has made remarkable progress in the field of adult education and community education. Up to present, Haishu District, Yinzhou District and Jiangdong District have been selected as national demonstration zones for community education, while Jiangbei District, Cixi City and Beilun District have been selected as national experiment zones for community education. Besides, there are now 54 provincial demonstration schools for adult cultural and technical education in Ningbo. The adult education in Ningbo has transferred from the stage of diploma education to that of lifelong education. The lifelong education system, composed of the four levels of municipality, county, town or street and village or community, and four sub-systems of schools, sectors, communities and networks, has been established in Ningbo. It is reported that during the Week, some special activities will be held, such as 100 lifelong learners going down to the grass-roots level, 1000 adult education counselors visiting communities and 10000 citizens attending classes.
