By the end of 2020, Zhejiang Province had established 920 digital parent schools and issued 220,000 e-certificates to parents participating in digital parent schools.
The Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education stated that the next key task will be to combine the schools with digital parents, learn from the “Parents to Work with Certificates” in Shangcheng District of Hangzhou, promote parents’ learning points, and develop an evaluation mechanism based on the study performance of the schools of digital parents.

Others ridiculed, “Do you really have to hold a certificate when you are a parent?”, “Does the parent’s qualifications be disqualified if the points fail to reach the standard?”, “Will the child be confiscated if it fails?”
Some netizens also said, “You also need a certificate to be a parent. What should you do if you are unqualified? Sterilization? This kind of mentally handicapped proposal is simply embarrassing. These vases represent that you are full and you are fine.”
“With multiple certificates, you have multiple excuses for reaping benefits. Who elected these representatives, and who actually made proposals for the interests of farmers?”
