A new college that aims to reinforce "traditional Chinese values" among new brides and mothers will open in Henan Province, media reported.

Enrollment at the Mother College of Henan in Zhengzhou, expected to start in March, is only open to married women, school officials said at a press conference last Wednesday.

上周三，据学院方面一名管理人员表示，“母亲学院”的办学地点设在河南郑州，预计将从明年三月份开始招收学员，并且只针对已婚女性。

Co-sponsored by the Henan Women's Federation and Zhengzhou University, the school aims to answer President Xi Jinping's call for a return to "traditional family values" in society.

由河南省妇联和郑州大学联合主办的这所学院，旨在响应习近平主席的号召，在社会上恢复“传统家庭价值观”。

According to official data from 2015, women make up 49 percent of Henan's residents, or 46.75 million.
