Abstract

About the topic. In all aspects, China is integrating itself into the world. Almost any significant change to take place in China would capture the attention of the world. The education of rural women is drawing attention from society because there have been more girls to drop out of school than boys. They need to be educated and well informed so that they can recognize and protect their natural and human rights. They should be able to realize their human functional capabilities such as “control over one’s environment1”. My intent in this project has been to help them find a possible solution for improvement. Under Dr. Karen Hyer’s direction, this project contains three different stages: literature review, data collecting, and data analysis.
