"The Chinese government has issued a national standard for the vocational skills of cultural-relic restorers", – the National Cultural Heritage Administration (NCHA) said. This was reported by the Xinhua News Agency.
"It is the first vocational standard for cultural heritage conservation", – said Gu Yucai, deputy director of the NCHA.
The document regulates how to assess and grade the skills of cultural-relic restorers and what kind of written exams and skill reviews they should take to obtain vocational degrees.
"Due to the lack of a national vocational standard, the training and career development of cultural-relic restorers had long lagged behind the needs of the trade and hindered cultural heritage conservation", – Gu said.
"Skillful and professional restorers are vital for the conservation and restoration standards of cultural heritage", – he said.
