3. Importance of Education

　　China, as a developing country, is determined to catch up with and even surpass the developed ones. I think that one of the best possible ways to do so is to give first priority(优先)to the development of culture, science and especially education.

Moreover, many of the success in advanced countries have demonstrated that a nation 's prosperity mainly depends on the quality of its labour force, namely those who have been well educated.

　　In a developing country such as China, our investment in culture, education and science, and especially elementary education, must enjoy top priority.
