ABSTRACT

In Nanan hsien, schools are run in front of the doors of the poor and lower-middle peasants, in the remote mountain areas, and on the offshore islands, as demanded by the poor and lower-middle peasants. This has changed the former irrational distribution of schools. Besides, spare-time schools and political evening schools of various types have been set up throughout this hsien by such means as are appropriate to the local conditions. In this way, popular education for school age children and teenagers is basically achieved and 80 percent of the adult commune members can also take part in study. Experience of this hsien shows that it is entirely possible to popularize socialist education so long as we conscientiously carry out Chairman Mao's "May 7 Directive" and fully arouse the masses.
