A military academy in Anhui Province recently held a group of senior officers from the People's Liberation Army (PLA), who were present for high-tech training to enhance the PLA's high-tech capabilities as part of china's ongoing military reform.

The ¡®students' will focus on learning about information technology and studying wars in the information age and the army's information-based construction at the academy, which was set up at the National University of Defense Technology in Hefei.

The PLA has for some time now, been planning to further improve education for its military officers by enhancing military science education and giving priority to engineering courses closely related to new, high-tech weapons and equipment and information technology. China will send an additional 1,600 military officers in the next few years for postgraduate education at 29 universities and colleges.
