Currently, the biggest concern and challenge for the Ministry¹ of Education is the safety of students. We have more than 200 million students across the country and we care about every one of them. Any accident befalling one of our students breaks our hearts. Keeping them safe requires the participation² of the whole of society - families, schools and the government - working together. All of us should shoulder the responsibility of ensuring students' safety so that they can grow up to be the country's future.

现在教育部面临的最大压力就是学生安全问题。2亿多学生，每一个孩子的安全都让人十分牵挂。每一次事件的发生都让人十分痛心。这些情况需要政府、学校、家庭、社会共同努力，为孩子安全健康负起责任，为他们成为国家栋梁之材保驾护航。

A shortage of talented people who are specialized³ in the repair and restoration of cultural relics⁴ poses a challenge for the preservation⁵ of our cultural heritage. China has more than 2 million cultural relics that are in need of repair but there are only around 400 people working in the field, which has not yet established a professional title evaluation⁶ system. The human resources and social security authorities should grant professional titles to them and increase their income to prevent a brain drain.

中国从事古物修复的专业人才十分短缺，这是对我国文化遗产保护的一大挑战。中国目前需要修复的文物多达200多万件，但从事文物修复工作的人员才400人左右，而且这个行业没有相应的职称评定体系。我建议人力资源部与社会保障局对全国古物修复人员给予职称，并且增加员工工资，以防止人才流失。
