counties and seven provincial-level poverty-stricken counties
as "program counties." It planned to build 1,933
"Program" schools (12 middle schools and 1,921
primary schools). After three years of the program's execution,
more than 1,700 well-equipped rural schools had been built.
And the schools are staffed by competent teachers. Six-year
compulsory education has been made universal in 28 of
the 55 program counties, covering a population of 10.06
million. |
