Zhejiang announced on July 18 plans to further develop 15-minute elderly education learning circles, aiming to create an environment for lifelong learning for the elderly.

Promoting elderly education and advancing lifelong learning reforms are a crucial part of China's modernization drive. As an innovative provincial practice, Zhejiang's integration of elderly education resources has yielded significant results in recent years.

To continue improving the quality of elderly education, various departments will strengthen policy guidance, personnel support, funding, and multi-faceted participation. They will also establish scientific evaluation indicators, enhance the evaluation system, and increase public awareness to boost the social influence and reputation of elderly education in Zhejiang.
