The renovation and upgrading projects for four primary schools in Nyainrong County, Nagqu City, Xizang in southwestern China, funded by CHN Energy, were officially completed and put into operation on May 24. The delivery and use of these high-altitude educational facilities mark a substantial improvement in the local teaching environment and hardware infrastructure.
The four primary schools are located in Xiaqu Township, Nima Township, Seqing Township and Baixiong Township, with the project sites averaging an altitude of 4,700 meters. In response to the aging facilities of the original school buildings, CHN Energy invested 6.4 million yuan (about 890,000 USD) in 2025 to launch the renovation projects. In addition to refurbishing and reinforcing the existing buildings, the projects also added integrated practice facilities for science popularization, innovation and practical training, further improving basic education support facilities in remote high-altitude regions.
Since participating in local educational infrastructure development in 2002, the Group has invested a total of 176 million yuan (about 24.5 million USD) in targeted assistance funds. During this period, it completed the construction of one kindergarten and three primary schools, implemented the Caring Library program in 22 schools, and supported the construction of the first pressurized oxygen-supported air dome gymnasium in Xizang’s education system as well as the first county-level science museum in Xizang. It also established modern educational facilities on a large scale, including music rooms, dance studios and handicraft activity rooms.
These long-term educational infrastructure assistance projects have created better learning conditions for children living on the plateau, effectively addressed weaknesses in pastoral-area education, continuously narrowed the gap in educational resources between urban and rural areas, and promoted balanced, high-quality educational development, providing solid support for the steady advancement of local education.
