Abstract

This paper discusses the current situation, causes, and strategies for addressing the problem of out-of-school girls in rural areas of China. By analyzing and summarizing the data and causes of girls’ school failure in rural China from previous literature, this paper offers suggestions for establishing girls’ schools. Founded in 2008, Huaping Girls’ High School is the first all-free-of-charge girls’ high school in China, mainly enrolling students from remote townships and alpine mountainous areas within Lijiang City and individual poor remote townships and mountainous areas in other cities and counties in Yunnan Province and surrounding provinces and cities. The creation of the school has greatly increased access to education for girls in the mountains, and in recent years, the results of the college entrance exam have been very positive, successfully sending many girls for higher education. This paper uses Huaping Girls’ High School as a specific case study to analyze the help and advantages of establishing a girls’ school for out-of-school girls in rural China, and to give specific suggestions about it.
