One of the important characteristics of Guizhou is its minority diversity. As reported, there are 49 minorities inhabit in Guizhou, making up a 37.85% of the total population in Guizhou.

Most of the minority villages locate in mountains far away from the cities; this gives them not only the language and culture barriers from the majority Han people outside the mountains, but also all the obstacles normal rural villages would face.

This doubles the difficulty of establishing an efficient education system in minority villages. The situation is even worse for females, who are perceived to be the one who sacrifice when there is an interest conflict between them and the male family members in many minority cultures, as well as in the dominant Chinese traditional culture.
