Rural Education Conditions To Be Improved

Filed under:

BEIJING: China will spend more in improving education conditions in rural areas, including building more boarding schools and lowering education fees, said State Councilor Chen Zhili.

Progress has been made in improving rural education, but much work needs to be done, said Chen at a two-day working meeting which ended Tuesday in Hohhot, capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Local governments should raise investment in compulsory education, ensure rural teachers salaries, renovate school facilities and improve financial assistance programs for poor rural students, she said.

Chen also asked local authorities to make more efforts in lowering drop-out rates, encouraging urban teachers to serve in rural areas, and providing preferential enrollment opportunities to children whose parents work outside their hometown.

Last year, China started construction of 1,694 boarding schools in rural areas which are expected to enroll 590,000 students
