The document, jointly issued by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and five other Party and governmental authorities, aims to get rid of the obsession with scores, enrollment rates, academic diplomas, papers and titles in the education sector, according to Lyu Yugang, head of the MOE's basic education department, at a press conference.

According to the document, the evaluation efforts will include those regarding the local education environment, the quality of education at schools and the quality of students' development.
