Innovative courses enrich seniors' lives in Shanghai

"Songjiang district has established a teaching resource pool for senior education, with half of the recruits being young individuals. The youngest part-time teacher is just 23, and the faculty boasts a high proportion of highly educated talents. Courses tailored by young teachers are particularly popular among senior students," noted Lu.

Starting in April, the university will enhance the distribution of educational resources by launching a program targeting nine suburban and rural areas, including Jinshan, Jiading and Qingpu districts. By 2027, the program aims to provide over 5,000 enrollment slots and more than 200 classes annually, ensuring that seniors in both urban and rural areas have equal access to high-quality educational resources.
