This likely reflects the widespread closing of village schools, which are consolidated into large boarding schools located in townships and cities. This forces young children to either travel long distances or to leave their families and live on campus to gain an education. In Hainan TAP, 344 elementary schools declined to just 54. In Ngawa, 1195 elementary schools declined to 286. The closing of these schools did lead to a significant decline in the number of enrolled students. In Hainan, 51,000 elementary students declined to just over 45,000. In Ngawa, 99,000 enrolled elementary students declined to 75,000.
