Supporting teachers, as the name implies, refers to the support of backward areas of rural primary and secondary schools in education and teaching management work.
In layman’s terms, rural supporting teachers, that is to go to some backward, economic conditions can not keep up with the rural areas, for rural small towns to attend school children, so that they can also feel part of the well-off economic conditions or the lives of urban children.
Not to mention 2002, even now, there are many children in poor areas even to go to school is a problem.
They want to go to school, but no money.
And most of the economic conditions, well-off children born, but hate learning, want to not even elementary school nine years of compulsory education, they can directly out of society.
This was a stark contrast to those students in poor areas who had to climb several mountains to get to school from home. They had to walk nearly two hours a day to get to school.
