The percentage of children who participated in at least one-year of pre-primary education before primary school enrolment has continued to increase, with the differences between urban and rural areas and among eastern, central, and western China decreasing rapidly. Western China still lags behind, particularly in rural areas. In 2017, the participation rate in at least one-year of pre-primary education before primary education enrolment in the western rural areas was 96.3 per cent, 2.3 percentage points lower than the national average of 98.7 per cent.
