In poverty-stricken areas of China, tens of millions of children cannot receive quality education. In major cities of China, more than 70% of students can enter universities, but in poor rural areas, the figure is only 5%. This has also caused obvious differences between urban students and rural students, which are embodied in the following aspects:

Academic obstacles: Rural students face many difficulties, but they need to face the same examination standards as urban students, so many rural students can't pass the entrance examination and lose the opportunity to obtain higher education. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in middle schools. Usually only 20%-50% of rural students can pass the senior high school entrance examination. In terms of English learning, rural school education lags behind cities in particular, and the influence of this gap is more and more obvious in the national examination where English is highly valued.

Insufficient skill development: Many students rely on mechanical memory to cope with exams, instead of developing their own learning ability and mastering the necessary knowledge to improve their grades, which will affect their future study and development. This is especially obvious in English learning; In rural schools, students' logical thinking ability also needs to be improved.

Lack of motivation: Rural students usually come from families with low education level, so it is difficult for their parents and other family members to participate in their children's education process and provide them with necessary support. At the same time, many students decide to give up their studies before the middle school entrance examination, which is one of the reasons for the high dropout rate in rural schools in China. The dropout rate of students may even be as high as 50% in three years.

The encouragement and guidance given by excellent educators can help rural students overcome these obstacles. However, for these children who need educational resources most, such excellent teachers are hard to come by. Many rural schools are facing a serious shortage of quality education teachers:

The shortage of teachers leads to the large class size, generally 50 students in a class, and the average class size in some areas is as high as 70 students.

What's more, schools that lack funds often have a high turnover rate of teachers. In the first year of China's education action plan, more than 50% new local teachers resigned before the end of the first semester.

China government tries to improve the shortage of teachers by improving the welfare of teachers in the system and increasing recruitment. However, the work of these educators is still full of challenges and lack of continuous support and evaluation, which makes it difficult for these teachers to make rapid teaching progress in a short time.
