What the NPC deputies say

The new era presents new demands and high requirements for cultivating professional artistic and design talent. The development of new industries, new business formats and new business models, dubbed the "three new" economy, requires design to effectively bridge the demand and supply sides, continuously driving industrial transformation and upgrading. A national platform for nurturing top young artistic talent could be established in a structured and comprehensive manner, alongside regional platforms built through multi-stakeholder collaboration.

For a long time, little to no policy support has been in place for people with autism. Greater efforts can be made to vocational education for individuals with autism, including expanding curriculum development, establishing vocational training programs, and improving the educational framework of vocational schools. These measures would equip autistic people with practical skills, providing them a pathway to integrate into society and realize their social value. Additionally, government departments should implement targeted assistance for those people and offer policy support to help them secure stable employment.

Meanwhile, efforts should be made to strengthen the development and training of teachers in AI, promote innovation in curricula and teaching methods, and establish a scientific evaluation and feedback mechanism.
