According to the principle of relative concentration, strengthening guidance and making key breakthroughs, in the subsequent implementation, the pilot work was combined with the implementation of the "two basics" plan, and the key breakthrough was the western region.

In 2003, three models were built in the experimental area. In that year, 20,594 teaching CDs, 49,598 satellite teaching receiving points and 6,934 computer classrooms were built in the pilot areas. The plan covers about 25% of rural primary and secondary schools in western provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) and 2 1% of rural primary and secondary schools in six central provinces; It is estimated to cover 9.25 million primary and secondary school students in western pilot provinces, with a student coverage rate of 27%, and 6.44 million primary and secondary school students in central pilot provinces, with a student coverage rate of 2 1%.

According to different conditions, there are three modes to implement modern distance education in rural primary and secondary schools.

Mode 1: teaching CD playback points;

Mode 2: satellite teaching observation point; Quickly receive a large number of high-quality educational resources, so that it has the function of playing teaching CDs.

Mode 3: computer classroom;
