With the advancements of nine years of universal compulsory education, the development of China's basic education has resulted in new demands aimed at improving the overall quality of basic education in rural areas. Closings and consolidation are important measures in this regard. In the process of merging and consolidation, the construction of a "nine-year continuous (boarding) school system" in Huanren county has proved successful as an excellent model of how to comprehensively improve the quality of rural education.
