Bai rural primary schools of Dongcun and Dacun in Shalang Bai Country started New Curriculum in 2002. School

Teachers' understanding and implementing of New Curriculum, however, still remain relatively superficial, as a result, the development of the course is not satisfactory and the integrative practical activity curriculum is neglected. Parents' deficient cooperation, irregular systems of teaching material and course management, weak awareness of school-based research, together with the separation of ethnic culture from local curriculum, have effected the implementation of New Curriculum in rural primary schools in minority areas.
