Could the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.

In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.

It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.

Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.

With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.

Katrina L. is like any other girl today: she talks on the phone, deals with schoolwork, and has some friends. Unlike other girls, however, Katrina takes medicine every morning.

Katrina has spina bifida(脊柱裂). She has had eight operations and wears braces on her legs to keep them in the proper places. Though anguished because of her illness, she's outgoing and confident.

Katrina has had the support of her parents as well. I think that, growing up with a disability, the best thing I have had is supportive parents. They both have always said that I can do something if I really want to.",

Katrina feels that her disability has allowed her to do things she might not have been able to do. She says that she would not have played sports at all if it was not for wheelchair sports, and that she would not have some other friendships. Rock climbing, cycling, and downhill racing are some of the other activities she is able to take part in. Katrina also volunteers at a community centre, helping other kids with disabilities.
