🌄 High up at nearly 4,000 meters in Nyangpo Township, Xizang's Central Primary School was more than just a school—it was a symbol of perseverance. Established in 1994, this school in Gongbo'Gyamda County faced chilly classrooms and teachers coming and going like the wind.
But in 2016, a game-changer arrived! Schools from Guangdong's Zhongshan City teamed up with schools in Gongbo'Gyamda County. Think of it as an epic crossover episode! 🎉 Their mission? Upgrade teaching materials and train the teachers.
Thanks to this dynamic duo, the school got a major glow-up! 🌟 Fancy new teaching facilities, toasty heating systems, and even shiny basketball courts and football fields sprouted up. Talk about leveling up! 🏀⚽
But wait, there's more! Guangdong's helping hand is just one piece of China's grand plan to support Xizang's growth. Three decades ago, the central government rallied the nation like assembling the Avengers to back Xizang's development. 💪
Under this awesome \"paired-up assistance\" policy, different regions and organizations across China partnered up with areas in Xizang, sharing resources and expertise. Teamwork makes the dream work! 🤝
Since then, dedicated folks from government and enterprises have been taking shifts on the plateau, bringing in fresh ideas and energy to power up Xizang's progress. 🚀
Fun fact: Xizang is breaking records! 🏆 It's the first provincial-level region in China to offer 15 years of publicly funded education—from the ABCs in kindergarten all the way to high school graduation caps. 🎓
According to a recent white paper, Xizang now boasts a modern education system that covers everything: preschools, primary and secondary schools, vocational schools, colleges—you name it! Learning opportunities abound. 📚
Numbers don't lie! 🔢 The seventh national census revealed that college grads in Xizang have more than doubled over a decade—from 5,507 per 100,000 people in 2010 to 11,019 in 2020. Plus, the average new worker has 13.1 years of education under their belt. Impressive, right? 🎓
This isn't a one-off deal. China is all in on making sure every kid has a fair shot at quality education. 📖 Over the past ten years, education has been front and center in national planning and investment. It's like putting education in the spotlight! 🎤
Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, educational investment in central and western China has skyrocketed! 🚀 Regions like Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Xizang, and Guizhou Province are getting the educational love they deserve. ❤️
Did you know? For 11 years straight, China has kept education spending above 4% of its GDP. That's commitment! 💰
China's not just big—it's the biggest when it comes to education systems! 🌏 By 2023, preschool enrollment hit 91.1%, secondary education 91.8%, and higher education 60.2%. That's a lot of students hitting the books! 📚
But wait, there's more! Beyond just getting kids into schools, China is jazzing up education quality and ensuring students develop all-around skills for the new era. This includes revamping curriculums and rolling out the \"double reduction\" policy. 🎯
So, what's this \"double reduction\" all about? It's a move to lighten the homework and cut down on endless after-school tutoring. Basically, giving students more time to be, well, kids! 🧒💫 It's all about balanced growth and personal development.
Schools nationwide are cooking up courses that help students grow morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and skill-wise. Think of it as leveling up in all areas! 🏋️♀️🎨🛠️
