We were founded because of the serious imbalance of educational resources in China today: in developed cities, nearly 80% of students can enter universities, while in poor rural areas of China, only 5% of outstanding students can enter universities. A child's birthplace often determines his educational prospects, thus affecting his future life choices.
What's more, the imbalance of educational resources, as a far-reaching problem in China in the future, has complex causes and covers a wide range. At the same time, it is generally difficult for the basic education industry to attract top talents. We have long lacked outstanding talents to solve this problem.
The Vision and Model of Beautiful China
Beautiful China is a teaching project, but it is more than just a teaching project: the project recruits outstanding young talents every year and sends them to areas where educational resources are scarce in China for two years of first-line education and teaching; Through two years of long-term teaching, help local students and communities achieve breakthrough development in education; At the same time, two years' experience will cultivate outstanding young people into future talents who are committed to promoting the balanced development of education in China.
We continue to work hard and hope that in the near future, all children in China will get the same quality education.
The Influence of Beautiful China Project

These more than 600 project teachers will teach students more than 1 million lessons in each two-year project.
