Chinese Vice Premier Liu Yandong has called for further efforts to boost innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges during an inspection tour in central China's Hubei Province.

While meeting with the participants and the judges, Liu said higher education should be reformed to enhance innovation and entrepreneurship spirits, abilities and practices among college students.
