-- From 1999 to 2002, over 400 middle level officials from Beijing received overseas training;
-- From 1999 to 2003, 300 officials from Guangdong Province studied in United States and Canada;
-- Since 2001, 55 officials from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have been sent to receive a fifteen month study in developed countries every year.
These training programs have helped Chinese officials to "combine the advanced concept of public management with China''s reality and transform them to public polices adaptable to China''s national condition," said Ye Duchu, professor of Party School of Central Committee of CPC, in an interview.
"In fact, many officials have a new understanding towards the government''s social responsibility after the training," he said. "They are becoming more open-minded and far-sighted, which are very important to China''s development."
Since 2002, the training program in Harvard has been held once every year and about 60 government officials were selected to join in the program every year. All the officials must be at least mid-level officials under 45 years old. They also must have at least bachelor''s degree and have good command of English.
Edward Cunning, official with KSG of Harvard University said this is the largest training program for officials of a country in the history of Harvard.
