On February 14, 2015, Yangjialing Fuzhou Hope Elementary School in Yan’an City, Shaanxi Province, received a special guest and family member.

Under the winter sun, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who is inspecting and working in Shaanxi, came here on a special trip to observe the school operation and have a cordial exchange with teachers. This is the second time that General Secretary Xi Jinping has come to Yangjialing Fuzhou Hope Primary School. Prior to this, he had also communicated with the principal and students of this school.

Two letters that span a long time but are still full of affection are prominently displayed on the school bulletin board.

One of the letters was signed on March 4, 1995.

At that time, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee of Fujian Province, started the charity “One Thousand Enterprises to Build One Thousand Schools”. All employees of a company in Fuzhou donated 520,000 yuan to rebuild the Yanan Yangjialing Primary School, which was built in 1974.

In March of that year, Xi Jinping wrote a letter to the head of the school. He said in the letter: “I am very happy to have the opportunity to connect with you by donating to build Hope Elementary Schools. To help old and impoverished areas to develop education and solve the problem of enrollment difficulties for students. Students is an important way to achieve common prosperity, and it is also an alleviation of poverty in the new era. A meaningful content of work. “

On May 21, 2008, children from Yangjialing Fuzhou Hope Primary School wrote to then-Vice President Xi Jinping, informing about their donations to children in the Wenchuan disaster area and their daily learning and living conditions. After 10 days, they received a reply. In the letter, Xi Jinping encouraged them to carry forward the spirit of Yan’an, study diligently, grow healthily, and strive to become successors to the cause of socialism.

In November 2009, Xi Jinping visited teachers and students at Yangjialing Elementary School during his inspection work in Shaanxi. A group photo at that time has been hung in the campus window.

In 2015, Yangjialing Fuzhou Hope Primary School once again welcomed Secretary General Xi Jinping. When he was about to leave school, the general secretary told everyone that education is very important. To eradicate poverty in the former revolutionary and poverty-stricken areas, education must be done from scratch and children must not be left at the starting line. State funds will be directed towards education, towards basic education and towards basic education in the former revolutionary areas.

The words conveyed the Secretary General’s great concern for education in former revolutionary areas and areas affected by poverty.

To enable children in poor areas to get a good education, Secretary General Xi Jinping thinks deeply about this. He once talked about the Matthew effect on education in an article: the poorer the place, the more difficult it is to do education, but the poorer the place, the more education is needed and the poorer it is, the poorer it is. “This Matthew effect is actually a vicious cycle in which ‘poor’ and ‘stupid’ are mutually cause and effect.” Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Secretary General Xi Jinping has always cared about the poor, and his focus is on education for poverty alleviation. .

The first guarantee of the “two without worries and the three guarantees” is the “compulsory education”, among them the project “five lots” and the “development of education for the alleviation of poverty”.

In December 2012, Secretary-General Xi Jinping said while inspecting poverty alleviation and development work in Fuping County, Hebei Province: “Poverty must be tackled first. Education for the next generation must be done well. especially the growth of the next generation in impoverished mountain areas. ” In order for the next generation to live a good life, they must first have a culture, so that their future development is completely different. “

On April 15, 2019, Secretary-General Xi Jinping had a cordial conversation with teachers and students from Zhongyi Township Primary School in Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County to learn about the guarantee of compulsory education.

In April 2019, Xi Jinping arrived in Chongqing’s Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County, deep in the mountains. When he chaired a symposium on solving the outstanding issues of “two no worries and three guarantees”, he asked specifically about the salary situation of rural teachers, noting: “The key to rural revitalization and sustainable development is in education. We must maintain the stability of the teaching team and the children. You cannot get lost at the starting line. “

“‘Two without worries and three guarantees’, a very important one is that compulsory education must be guaranteed. No matter how difficult it is, no child can be miserable, no matter how poor he is, no education is bad. It is necessary to ensure that children in poor mountain areas go to school and have a happy childhood. “

Secretary General Xi Jinping arrived in Laoxian Town, Pinli County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, on April 21, 2020, and inspected the local poverty alleviation situation in the Jinping community, the center of city ​​health, central primary school and tea garden.

In April 2020, during an inspection in Shaanxi, Xi Jinping entered the Central Primary School classroom in Laoxian Town, Pingli County, Ankang City, and asked the children about their studies and living conditions. He emphasized that it is necessary to promote the integral development of urban and rural compulsory education, reduce the gap between urban and rural educational resources, promote educational equity and cut the intergenerational transmission of poverty.

The alleviation of poverty must help wisdom. Enabling children in poverty-stricken areas to receive a good education is an important task of poverty alleviation and development and an important way to block the transmission of poverty between generations.

As of the end of 2019, the number of students dropping out of compulsory education in 832 poverty-stricken counties nationwide fell from 290,000 at the beginning of the establishment of the ledger to 23,000. Among them, the number of poor students from families with registered cards has dropped from 150,000 to 6,000. The operating conditions of 99.8% of compulsory schools (including places of education) across the country have met the requirements of the “20 basic outcomes” and the operating conditions of compulsory schools in the poor areas have improved significantly.

“The ancients had the tradition of ‘children from poor families who study’. Training children from impoverished areas is the fundamental strategy to alleviate poverty.”

In the mind of Secretary General Xi Jinping, getting rid of poverty is not getting rid of material poverty, but getting rid of poverty of conscience and ideas. This is also the important guiding ideology of China’s poverty alleviation work.
