🌟 30 years ago, the Fourth World Conference on Women set a bold goal: gender equality, development, and peace. Fast forward to today, China has turned that vision into action! 🎓 Women in China now ‘hold up half the sky’ thanks to game-changing strides in education.
From School Seats to Graduation Caps
China has closed the gap at every level: nearly 100% of girls complete primary school, while senior-high school enrollment is almost 50% female—true parity! At universities, women make up over 50% of students and graduates, marking a leap of more than 20 points since 1995.
Bridging Rural Gaps with Targeted Programs
Initiatives like the Spring Bud Project have poured resources into rural areas, raising billions of yuan to support millions of girls through compulsory education and beyond. Preschool action plans and county-level senior-high school drives are leveling the playing field for all.
Education is not just about classrooms—it’s about unlocking opportunities, boosting incomes, and empowering a generation. China’s journey shows how focused policies can transform lives and inspire global progress for women everywhere. 🚀
