"My new school is very big, with beautiful buildings. There are extracurricular classes and I am learning dancing for the first time," said Chen Lina, a fifth grade student from the Tongle Township Central Primary School in Leye county in Baise, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

The 11-year-old student transferred to the new school when it opened in September, last year from a village primary school when she moved from the village to the town with her parents.
