Distance education fuels western China's development - Vicky Xu, Shanghai Daily news

Shanghai is making great efforts to fuel development in the remote western part of China. It has sent talented volunteers to work there, invited scholars from there to visit Shanghai and study here, and also developed distance education and service systems to help in a more direct way. Magnolia Tele-education Network for Medical Training opened online at the end of last month. Offering medical consultation and training programs for medical workers online, the network mainly targets people in Yunnan Province and the former Three Gorges Region. It has been warmly received since its launch, with some 1,000 people visiting it everyday.
