Hello and Welcome to Education Today. I'm Wuyou.
Now in China the Ministry of Education has allowed college students to suspend their studies to start up their own businesses.
The notice from the ministry requires colleges and universities to set up a flexible education system allowing students to suspend studies temporarily to pursue business ideas.
It is said to be a measure designed to help improve employment, given the increasing difficulty college graduates have landing jobs.
Here's also some background information about number of graduates: Last year, 6.99 million students graduated from colleges and universities nationwide. The number increased to 7.27 million in 2014 and is expected to be 7.49 million in 2015.
However, some experts and teachers suggest that schooling should be completed first.
For more about that, now joining us live on the phone line are:
