Rural schools to get more resources

Livestreamed classes, lower threshold into top universities among measures

More efforts will be made to bridge the gap between urban and rural education resources, including financial support to improve rural education infrastructure and provide rural schools with more and better teachers, the Ministry of Education said on Friday.

More educational resources will be allocated to poverty-stricken areas, and the goal is for no child in China to be prevented from attending school because of poverty, Liu Changya, director of the ministry's Department of Development Planning, said at a news conference.
