| A teacher gives a lecture on technological information at the Malipo Minzu Middle School in Malipo County in south China's Yunnan Province on April 16. Situated at the border of Vietnam and considered a poverty-stricken county of state-level interest, Malipo made development of education a top priority. In 2007, the county invested 300 million yuan ($47.62 million) to set up a 44.7-hectare middle school. The school, known as a "college town" to rural residents, can accommodate 6,000 students with its advanced multi-functional facilities (XINHUA) |
