Whether in Funan, Anhui Province or Yiyang, Jiangxi Province, the "return" of rural students stems from the huge investment of the local government in compulsory education, constantly improving the hardware level of rural schools and filling the shortcomings of weak teachers.

A few days ago, the Education Bureau of Funan County, Anhui Province found that a total of 8,275 rural students in Funan County "returned" from urban areas and other places to township schools in the county this year. Chen Gang, director of Funan Education Bureau, said that the reason for the "reflux fever" was that the local government vigorously promoted the balanced development of compulsory education, the conditions for running schools in rural areas were improved, the structure of teachers was more optimized, and parents and students were no longer willing to "go further than near".

Coincidentally, the media reported earlier that in Yiyang County in the northeast of Jiangxi Province, the number of students in rural compulsory education schools has increased by more than 20% in the past three years, while the number of high-quality primary and secondary school students in urban areas has declined.
