Beijing education foundation aims to help youngsters in rural areas

Beijing Changier Education Foundation has carried out field surveys on the rural vitalization and high-quality development of Huade county in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region recently.

During the surveys, a symposium was held to gather representative from the foundation and officials from the county to discuss about how to better fuel the growth of the county's education sector. Zhang Yinjun, chairwoman of Beijing Changier Education Foundation, also paid visits to local primary schools, kindergartens and vocational schools to probe into the demands of the faculty and students.

Meanwhile, the foundation has donated 100,000 yuan ($14,250) for the county to distribute subsidies for 50 students from impoverished families, as well as online tutorials that help improve students' psychological health and disinfection products to help curb the spread of COVID-19.

The foundation plans to build libraries for eight middle schools and primary schools in the county and help cultivate local teachers' ability of giving psychological counseling for young students in the future.
