Beijing to relocate universities to neighboring areas to ease population pressure
Beijing plans to relocate some universities to neighboring cities in the next five years as part of efforts to ease population pressure and promote regional integration. In its newly released five-year education plan, the city made it clear it would advance balanced development with Tianjin Municipality and Hebei Province, shifting out some of its current educational functions, and placing a ban on the expansion of tertiary education or building and upgrading of ordinary colleges into higher level institutes.
