Rural students see gap, don't like it

Livestream classes are a window through which rural children not only learn the subject matter of a class but also see the differences in their lifestyle compared with students in urban areas, according to teachers and students.

Lessons in various subjects at Chengdu No 7 High School in Sichuan province are broadcast daily via an interactive feed to schools across remote areas of Yunnan province.

One of those schools is located in poverty-stricken Luquan Yi and Miao autonomous county. So it was convenient for faculty members and students from the county's No 1 High School and Minzu High School to visit and observe firsthand the urban-rural gap - both in educational resources and mindset.
