Teachers-to-be receive cutting edge training

First-year students majoring in preschool teaching undertake compulsory military training at a school in Huizhou, South China's Guangdong province, March 27, 2015. The 5-day course, supervised by a former special forces soldier, includes standing in a military posture, goose-step marching and using daggers to complete an exercise set. High school and first-year university students in China are required to take part in military training to promote patriotism, increase awareness of national defense and develop good will and character.
