In China's newly issued five-year plan, promoting universal education has again become one of the highlights. And improving education quality in rural areas has also seen an increased significance in recent years.

According to the Ministry of Education, in the past 4 years, the country has lost over 1.4 million rural teachers, that's more than 30 percent of its total number in 2010.

Meanwhile, about two thirds of the teachers in rural areas hope to move to cities. To improve the situation, in this June, the State Council issued a support plan to boost the development of the career. Measures such as improving the teachers' quality, raising their pay and welfare, setting up an honor system and accelerating teachers' rotation between urban and rural areas, have all been seen in the document.

Meanwhile, authorities have also urged colleges to enhance the directed enrollment policies to raise the enrollment rate of rural students, and lower the passing score for them as well. A fairer education resource distribution and the modernization of the country's education are planned to be achieved by 2020.
