text: Ningshaan, a poverty-stricken county in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, has won applause for its groundbreaking attempt to provide 15 years of free schooling to children, making it the first impoverished county to make such an innovative move in the nation.
On September 1, Qu Gangyou from the Shiziba Village of Ningshaan County, found that his child's kindergarten charges were to be reduced by 90 yuan ($13.9 for tuition fee) a month, a change brought on by the county's decision this fall to extend its free education system to 15 years.
The move was seen as the fourth step in the county's quadruple jump: In 2007, Ningshaan took the lead in implementing the nutrition plan for boarding students; in 2008, the county began offering free vocational training; since 2009, it has provided free senior middle school education; and on August 23, 2011, it approved a proposal to cancel tuition fees for preschool children from three to six years old.[…]
Yang Chunhua, head of the Family Planning Bureau of Ningshaan County, told China Newsweek that the county's birth rate has been on a downtrend since the 1980s, and that the number of newborn babies has remained at about 500 in recent years.
