The local Hongyao girls can get access to a better education

Students walk to their classroom at a school in a Miao autonomous county in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, November 30, 2017. The students come from a class especially for girls from the Hongyao ethnic group, a part of the Yao ethnic group that traditionally believes women should not receive an education.

The local Hongyao girls can get access to a better education, as free compulsory education has been made universally available, and a series of education policies such as the Better Nutrition Plan focusing on rural students have been implemented to benefit the people. (Xinhua/Huang Xiaobang)
