Education now only accounts for 4 percent of the country's total expenditures. By comparison, the figure in some developed countries is around 10 percent. We also have a sore lack of government investment in preschool eduction, which should be enhanced in the future.

目前，教育在我们国家总支出中仅占4%。相比之下，一些发达国家在教育方面的支出达10%左右。政府在学前教育方面的资金投入严重缺乏，今后亟待改善。

There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese students studying abroad every year. However, the majority of destinations are developed countries in Europe and the United States. They know little about the history, society, culture and religious situations of the less-developed countries along the routes of the Belt and Road in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The amount of talent with a good understanding of countries along the routes needs to increase for Chinese investors to go global.

中国每年有成千上万名学生出国留学。但是，主要的留学国家大都是欧美发达国家。“一带一路”沿线经过了许多亚洲、非洲以及拉丁美洲等地的欠发达国家，但中国学生对这些国家的历史、社会、文化和宗教信仰状况都缺乏了解。需要大力培养对“一带一路”沿线国家有充分认识的人才，为中国投资者迈向世界助一臂之力。
