| Essential Question: | How do rural-urban divides in education impact a country’s economic development? |
| Summary: | Students will examine economic development challenges in rural China by exploring issues addressed in Scott Rozelle’s 1990 Institute talk on the “Other China.” After watching an excerpt of the talk and analyzing one of Rozelle’s data charts, they will use case studies of rural students in China to identify barriers that students face when pursuing higher education. Summative assessment ideas are provided for teachers who would like to extend the ideas of the lesson. |
