Hope primary school in Longwang township of Nong'an county, Northeast China's Jilin province, faces the challenge of enrollment decrease and fund shortage with only 6 students and 4 teachers. As the first hope primary school in the county established 18 years ago, the school had over 60 enrollment students at most. A new policy requiring the merging of poorly-equipped schools in 2006 resulted in a sharp decline of student numbers at primary village schools. [Photo/Xinhua]
