Meanwhile, the bureau will establish information exchange and sharing mechanism with departments such as exit and entry administration department of municipal public security bureau and municipal education bureau. To address the concerns of the public about foreign teachers, Guiyang science and technology bureau will explore ways to put work permits on the wall and introduce a system of regular disclosure by administrative departments for precise supervision and better employment management.
