About 98% of children in China's 410 poorest western counties (县) had got nine-year compulsory
education (九年义务教育) by the year 2007.
Until now, the nine year compulsory education, six years in primary school and three years in the
middle school, has covered 368 out of the 410 poorest western counties. And the children in other 42
counties have got education in primary school.
Helping children go to school started in 2004, children in these counties got education for only about
6. 7 years. To help more children go to school, the program is trying to make them pay less for education,
give money to poor students, and build boarding schools for the children far from schools. From 2004 to
2007, the central government spent 10 000 000 000 yuan building more than 7 600 boarding schools for
about 4 000 000 students in 953 counties in the western areas.
During the program, about 11 000 000 000 yuan was given by the central and local governments to
build a distance teaching network (远程教育网) in countries. By the end of 2007, more than 100 000 000
primary and middle school students in villages had enjoyed the teaching network as the students in cities.
Since 2006, the central government has also given money to encourage college graduates to teach in
poor areas. In the past two years, about 33 000 college graduates have gone to teach in those poor western
areas.
