1 . Could the students from less developed areas（不发达地区）in central and western China get the same educational chances (机会) as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural areas (农村地区) develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change （改变）the situation（情况）.

To help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition Improvement Program (中国营养改善计划) started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided (提供) with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.

It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, over 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more help to improve their education.

Students from rural and poor areas also have more chances to get higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities.

With the guideline and programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (更公平、更均衡的) education in the future.
