How China s investment in vocational education has led to increased employment and poverty alleviation
Zhang Shuo
China s higher vocational education institutions provided scholarships totalling 20.4 billion yuan ($3.13 billion) to seven groups of students, including registered poor students during the recent eight years, said a report on targeted poverty alleviation by China s higher vocational schools.
A total of 4.2 billion yuan of tuition fees were exempted for these groups of students, and 92.15 percent of poor students have been employed, according to the report.
Besides, free education was offered for over 90 percent of students in vocational high schools, and China s state student-aid covered around 40 percent of current students.

Every night in a massage shop in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou Province in southwest China, after the last customer leaves, the five masseurs there and a friend pick up their musical instruments and begin creating their own world of symphony.
They have three guitars, a second-hand electronic keyboard, a drum and a 20-yuan ($3) flute and the shop is smaller than 10 square meters. Yet this is their haven where they look for happiness in darkness. All the five masseurs are visually impaired.
