Theme: Sunshine Starting Point: Launching Ceremony of the Action Plan for the Guidance on Household Raising of 100,000 Rural Infants

The launching ceremony of the "Sunshine Starting Point: A Guidance Action Plan for Parenting 100,000 Rural Infants and Infants at Home" sponsored by the China Development Research Foundation was held in Beijing on May 15. Wang Sangui, professor at the School of Agriculture and Rural Development of Renmin University of China and president of the China Academy of Poverty Alleviation, attended and delivered a speech.

Wang Sangui saidroshmegawaysThe most difficult thing about rural revitalization is the revitalization of talents, because all other revitalization requires talents. "Is it realistic to introduce talents from cities to rural areas? Many things have been done now, such as supporting education. These theoretical measures are possible, but these are all short-term, but how can we keep people in rural areas for a long time? Rural people themselves are unwilling to stay in the countryside, so it is unrealistic to attract talents from cities to the countryside on a large scale." Wang Sangui believes that only rural areas can solve their own talents, coupled with a small amount of talents introduced from cities, so the core is how to cultivate talents in rural areas can be more effective, how to fully develop rural human capital, and give full play to everyone's potential. To achieve this, it is critical to provide necessary and effective interventions from preschool, from the ages of 0 to 3, and even during pregnancy.

Wang Sangui said that the significance of the Sunshine Starting Point Project is to explore how to effectively intervene when children aged 0 to 3 in rural areas do not attend kindergarten and are raised by families. Through this matter, the country will ultimately be promoted to form a national policy for early childhood development, which is of great significance to these families in rural areas and to the modernization of the entire country, especially to rural revitalization.
