Just after the founding of the PRC, when illiterates accounted for more than 80 percent of the nation's population, the Chinese government called on the people to ¡°develop functional literacy and gradually reduce illiteracy,¡± which was the beginning of adult education in China.
The purpose of adult education in China is to raise the educational level and that of professional technology, and the practical capabilities of the people who, while working, wish to change their jobs or are waiting for employment; provide literacy education for illiterates; continue to provide education for people who have left regular schools, in accordance with their educational levels; provide continued education for people who have received higher education to renew and expand their knowledge and enhance their professional proficiency; and develop colorful social and cultural life education to help all China's people lead civilized, healthy and scientific lives.
