To promote education fairness, China has invested 36 billion yuan in improving educational facilities in rural areas and strengthening rural compulsory education in central and western China. The funds were used to improve teaching facilities as well as to purchase books, benefiting more than 160,000 primary and secondary schools. Money was also spent on music and painting equipment. Children in rural and mountainous areas can now take music and painting lessons just like their peers in coastal cities. Some students who transferred to cities for a better education are now returning to local rural schools.
