To herd yaks or attend school?'

A girl waits outside Yege Primary School's teachers' dorms. Since China Daily first visited the school in Qinghai province's Qumalai county in 2011, the campus and township have built new teachers' and students' dorms, a new class building, a clinic, a meeting and performance hall, a roofed latrine, a monastery and modern housing. The percentage of households with electricity has increased from 5 percent to nearly 100 percent. [Photo by Erik Nilsson/chinadaily.com.cn]
