Poor county in Yunnan works magic with students
Since 2016, the county has invested more than 1 billion yuan ($150 million) to support the studies and lives of poverty-stricken students, according to the county.
Local authorities plan to invest 746 million yuan in the construction of four kindergartens, two primary schools and two junior high schools. Also, the county government has set up a senior high school education group to integrate educational resources.
In addition to the large allocation of money and measures to help students get a good education, the county has taken steps to ensure that teachers have good working conditions, considering their contribution to the system.
"Everyone is proud of our college entrance examination results. But I am proud of our teachers," said Zhang Hong, Party secretary of Huize county's education and sports working committee and director of the county's education and sports bureau. "In Huize county, a large number of teachers are the backbone of educational development."
