First of all, children can get more care in their daily lives. Most of the children studying in rural areas are left-behind children. Their parents are working outside the home, or there is a lot of farm work at home, so the care or management of their children will be more or less lacking. Although many rural children have to help adults since childhood and are very independent, they are children after all. Being taken care of in daily life can reduce a lot of burdens and help children's body and mind.

Reduce the time on the way to school. As we all know, many children in rural areas have a hard way to go to school and the transportation facilities are not perfect. According to statistics, the one-way distance of rural primary school students is 5.4 kilometers, and that of junior high school students is 17.5 kilometers. Many students waste five to six hours on the way from home to school every day. Moreover, the long journey is very exhausting for students' physical strength.

The proposal of boarding schools has undoubtedly solved many rural problems, which not only provides an accommodation environment for left-behind children in rural areas, reduces the walking distance of students, but also saves more time to study. Then recruit some women who take care of their children's daily lives and provide corresponding job opportunities for some unemployed women who need to work in rural areas.

Ma Yun plans to develop boarding schools, merge and remove schools with less than 100 people in poor rural areas, and have a special car to pick up children who go to school for a week. Ma Yun once said that this practice is based on the boarding system in Europe and America, because he thinks that the boarding system in Europe and America is very mature and can be used for reference in the rural education system.
