The situation changed last year, when conglomerate China Energy Corp, also known as CHN Energy, invested 13.5 million yuan ($1.85 million) into a kindergarten project.

Using shipping containers, 15 kindergartens have been constructed in six villages and towns in the county. Each school can accommodate 30 students.

"All the classrooms have heating and lighting powered by photovoltaic systems," Dong Zhu, vice-head of Qumarleb county, says, adding that the locations of the kindergartens are selected in accordance with the winter and summer pastures and pastoral migration routes.
