Yuanzhou

Yuanzhou District of Ningxia Province

At the onset, it should be clarified that upon the start of the Tsinghua Education-to-Aid-the-Poor Project, Yuanzhou district was far more advanced than Huade County in the area of distance education. Since 2000, Yuanzhou district has been involved in two national projects—"Applying Information Technology in Education" and "Modern Distance Education in Rural Areas"—both of which are funded by the Chinese government in partnership with certain international organizations.
