China's colleges to enroll 5 percent more students in 2007: ministry

BEIJING, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- China's universities and colleges plan to enroll 5.7 million students in 2007, five percent up from last year, said an official with the Ministry of Education here on Tuesday.

The number of postgraduates will reach 424,000, or 6 percent up from 2006, said Yuan Guiren, Deputy Minister of Education.

Yuan said the ministry will limit the growth of university enrollments, and most of the increased quota will go to the relatively under-developed western regions of China.
