It will be very difficult to meet the goal of providing nine

The number of students at rural schools is lower than in city schools, so the countryside schools often have mixed grade classes.

The Hope Project, a national charity that helps young dropouts in poor areas return to school, was initiated( 发起 ) in 1989 by the China Youth Development Fund ( 中国青少年发展基金会 ) under the CYLC(the Communist Youth League of China) . It has received over 1.78 billion yuan (about 214 million U.S. dollars) in donations and sent 2.29 million children back to school over the past decade.

It is now shifting its focus from villages to cities as more children of laid-off workers have had to abandon their studies.
