Based on the above three clues, guess which city this is? "In the spacious and bright dream classroom of Lancang County Ethnic Primary School in Yunnan Province, a vivid and interesting" Going to the Distance "dream class is underway. A multimedia electronic screen is set up in front of the classroom, and students are grouped around their desks, with excitement and curiosity on their faces. Li Xinhua is the teacher of this class. She introduced the game "Guess Place Names" to stimulate children's exploration desire for "distant places", encouraged them to share their most desired cities, and selected a dream destination in groups, forming teams and dividing personnel. During the process, the group members actively discussed and exchanged their ideas and suggestions with each other, creating an active and orderly classroom atmosphere. As one of the earliest teachers in Lancang County's ethnic primary schools to be exposed to dream classes, Li Xinhua, a teacher at the Lancang County Ethnic Primary School Dream Center, has ten years of rich teaching experience. 'Going Far Away' is my favorite class for children. It not only broadens their horizons, but also cultivates their teamwork and communication skills, 'she said. In addition to courses, the "Going to Distant Places" study tour project also combines supporting study tour activities to truly help children in Lancang leave Lancang, Pu'er, Yunnan, and move towards the future through public welfare donations. Due to geographical and economic limitations, rural primary schools in Yunnan have always faced challenges in terms of educational resources. Xu Jiarong, Deputy Director of the Education and Sports Bureau of Lancang County, introduced the current education situation in Lancang County, Yunnan Province. He stated that there are 169 schools of all levels and types in the county, with a total of about 80000 students, including nearly 40000 primary school students. The popularization rate of preschool education is about 92.35%, and the consolidation rate of nine-year compulsory education is 96.03%. High quality educational resources are mainly concentrated in county and urban areas, and the hardware facilities and teaching staff of township schools are relatively weak, making it difficult to meet the needs of students to enjoy high-quality education. The assistance of social welfare projects fills this gap and opens a new window to knowledge for children's literacy education. The "Dream Project" public welfare plan of the "Going to the Distance" dream classroom at Lancang County Ethnic Primary School is a public welfare action jointly initiated by the China Teacher Development Foundation and the Shanghai True Love Dream Public Welfare Foundation under the guidance of the Teacher Work Department of the Ministry of Education. It focuses on carrying out literacy education in the central and western regions, providing sustainable new solutions, new ideas, and new models to support rural revitalization and high-quality balanced development of education. In Yunnan, there are 326 primary and secondary schools receiving assistance from the "Dream Project" public welfare program, such as Lancang County Ethnic Primary School. A total of 356 Dream Centers have been built, and the assistance is not limited to providing hardware and software, but also includes teacher training, curriculum development, and other aspects of work. These measures provide rural primary school children with educational resources equivalent to urban schools, narrowing the education gap between urban and rural areas. According to Teacher Zhou Qin from Zhutang Township Central Primary School in Lancang County, since the official introduction of Dream Class in 2014, more than 20 teachers have been selected to participate in various professional training for Dream Class. After returning to school, these teachers have passed on their knowledge and experience to more colleagues through on campus training, teaching and research, and explored the construction of high-quality school-based curriculum, creating a team of dream class teachers with excellent professional quality. The Sports Dream Class of Zhutang Township Central Primary School in Lancang County has achieved significant results in the public welfare assistance project at Mengxian Town Central Primary School in Ning'er County. The school has opened more than 30 courses, including "Dream Theater," "Love and Dreams," "Going Far Away," "Hometown and Community," "Financial Management," "Children's Philosophy," and "Artistic Life," to cultivate students' comprehensive qualities from multiple dimensions such as knowledge, skills, emotions, attitudes, and values. Children who have taken dream classes are confident, optimistic, and eager to explore, and their academic performance has greatly improved. In recent years, children from Mengxian Town Central Primary School have achieved excellent results in participating in various activities and competitions at the county and city levels, and their activities have also been recognized by parents and various sectors of society. Improving students' literacy education and promoting balanced development through new equipment and teaching methods has become the norm in this rural primary school. School is not only a simple learning place, but also a knowledge paradise in the hearts of rural children. The Dream Classroom is always filled with laughter and joy, where children acquire rich knowledge and grow up happily day by day. It is the most beautiful prospect for the balanced development of rural education. (New Society)
