Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The socioeconomic disparities and systemic barriers encountered by female students in rural China have been extensively documented, with multifaceted challenges stemming from historical, geographical, and economic determinants. These factors have resulted in significant educational inequities and limited access to opportunities. In this context, the establishment of Huaping Girls' High School represents a groundbreaking educational intervention, functioning as China's pioneering tuition-free institution exclusively for female students. Through case analysis and literature analysis, this paper takes Huaping Girls' Middle School as an example to explore ways for rural female high school students in poor areas to break through the survival dilemma. In addition, this paper also concludes that the survival predicament of rural female high school students in poor areas is an economic dilemma, social dilemma, health dilemma and educational and cultural dilemma. However, the superficial knowledge learned through these dilemmas is still very simple, so other investigation methods are needed. People can also use case analysis, literature research and questionnaire survey.
