Training in FOI in Shanghai

In Shanghai, regular training in FOI seems to be safeguarded to a certain degree. In 2004, nearly 300 government officials attended the training program organized by the Municipal Administrative Institution. During this year, about 3000 government officials from districts and counties received similar training. Such training has been conducted twice in 2005. In 2006, more than 300 government officials received professional training in FOI in June and November respectively. The Shanghai Cadres Online Learning City set up a special course for FOI after 2006. This made FOI become an internal part of the knowledge system of the Shanghai Municipal officials’ education and training.
