The Shinan district of Qingdao – the port city in East China's Shandong province – on Aug 23 held a news conference on the latest improvements to its education system, according to local media reports.

The news conference was told that three schools – including Ningde Road Primary School – had recently added 60 classes and 2,700 student places.

This was said to be effectively relieving the increasing enrollment pressures in the district.
