Young people are a key group for receiving education about the Constitution and should be cultivated with the spirit of the rule of law, said Minister of Justice Fu Zhenghua.
Fu said at a news conference on Tuesday, one day ahead of China's sixth Constitution Day, that the Ministry of Justice will continue to promote education about the Constitution among young Chinese people and further integrate the core values of socialism, history and traditional culture into legal education.
"We now have 270 million students in primary and secondary schools and higher education. This is a huge group of people, so strengthening education about the Constitution and the rule of law for them is very important," he said, adding that they will strive to make the education more pertinent and effective in a bid to lay a more solid foundation for the modernization of the national governance system.
