BEIJING?-- The State Administration of Civil Service Thursday announced a plan to select personnel for central government organizations from the grass-roots level.

In all, 30 civil servants will be selected and assigned to 11 ministry-level organizations such as the ministries of foreign affairs, education, agriculture and culture.

Civil servants working in government organizations in the province, city, county and village levels can apply for these posts.

However, those at the provincial level will have to have two-years of grassroots work experience while village-level civil servants must have at least three-years of work experience.

The written test and interview for the selection will be held in September.

According to a statement released by the administration, the plan aims to create a system of cultivating civil servants from the frontline and grass-root levels for optimizing the structure of civil servants in central government departments.
