The Ministry of Education has edited 53 tomes in new inhabitants’ languages teaching materials; and the supporting members of inhabitants’ languages teaching cultivation includes 1,698 persons who will assist the Ministry in  promoting both cooperation and exchanges with New Southbound countries, and cultivation of professional talents.
