The Jinan municipal education bureau and three other departments released an implementation plan regarding the reform of Jinan Open University. The plan involves the integration of Jinan Preschool Education College's Remote Education Department into Jinan Open University.
With a focus on promoting lifelong learning through "internet + lifelong education", the university offers both degree and non-degree educational options and will be in charge of coordinating the city's open university system, managing operations, and providing educational services.
Additionally, the university will offer a range of social education and skill training programs, like community and elderly education, to cater to the diverse lifelong learning needs of Jinan residents.
