University students in China spend nearly half of their academic year in manual labour. Vice Premier Lu Ting-yi said recently that this was part of the Party Plan that "education should be directed to serve the political interest of the proletariat" and that it "should be co-ordinated with productive labour."

"It lakes approximately 10 years for children who start school at the age of six to grow to full manpower," Tin-yi said.

"The regime cannot afford to extend the present school education to too many persons (without) I taking away too much manpower from production."
