minorities, campaigning 100% them to attend school. In order to ensure pupils’
benefits and rights, the schools were provided with close instructions about
material facilities and curriculum preparedness. Emulation movement "Two goods”
(good teachers, good pupils) was constantly promoted.

timely measures in realizing the policies of the Party and State toward pupils
of ethnic minorities in SUAs, with state expenses for students amounting to 20
