    A man in Pakistan is now working to help children get an education. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.

    It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second ­highest number in the world. Only Nigeria has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.

    Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.

    Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, "Why don't you go to school?" The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.

    Ayub was also an orphan and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, "When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral said they were sorry, but no one helped." He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.

    Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy's school fees.

    Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.

    Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.

    Ayub said," I used to argue with kids who worked ' Why are you washing someone's dishes or their clothes? Why don't you study? ' "

    One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. "He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school, "Abbas said.

    Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.

    Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education. Information gathered by an organization shows half of all Pakistani children in the 5th grade do not understand basic mathematics and cannot read a story in their language.

    A group in Islamabad reports Pakistan spends less on education than any other country in South Asia.

    It is increasingly popular for Chinese youngpeople to share their experiences on social media (媒体), such as the"moments"(朋友圈)on popular instant messagingservice WeChat. "I have been reading 'JaneEyre' for 40 days with 48,000 words finished Li Anqi said. Li has beensharing her reading experience on WeChat moments every day since January.Working in Yinchuan, capital of Northwest China? s Ningxia, Li wants to learnEnglish very much, but cannot get rid of (摆脱)theeveryday work of school lessons.

    "I found many of my WeChat friends hadbeen reading books or learning English on mobile reading apps, and I did notwant to fall behind," Li said.

In January, she spent more than 100yuan buying an online reading class at the Bohe Reading app, which tellscustomers they can: "Finish reading your first English book here."

    At her reading class, teachers assignreading homework and give instructions to 430 class members every day.

    A survey reportreleased on Thursdaysaid 70.9 percent of primary and middle students in China use the Wechatinstant messaging App.

    At the same time, 75. 9 percent of Chinesechildren have their own mobile phones, according to China National Children'sCenter.

    The figures were based on a survey of nearly9000 children across China.

    However, 28. 8 percent of them never readnews online and 43. 2 percent have never touched newspapers.

    The center called for efforts to address thedigital divide between urban and rural education and protect children's privacy(隐私)asInternet users.

Over the past 6 years, Zhang Chaofan has given away 1.35 million yuan and raised 5.2 million yuan from the public to help more than 400 people with health problems—including teachers with cancer (癌症) and disabled children in poor families—learn traditional Chinese culture.

Zhang, 29, was born without a left arm in Changchun, Jilin, but her hard work to become stronger has encouraged many people. She was chosen along with 67 other honorees (领奖人) to receive the Eighth National Ethical Role Model award (第八届全国道德模范提名奖) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on November 5th, 2021.

In 2015, Zhang set up a handwriting and painting school in Changchun. When she found that some parents were unable to pay for their children's education, she made the lessons free and began providing 300, 000yuan every year to help them.

In early 2020, her school was made to suspend all courses because of COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) but it didn't stop her from helping the poor families. She raised more than 8.9 millionyuan and gave them away to Hubei hospitals.

"Women in the new times should have the courage to create value and also have a sense of social duty," she said. "It is my great honor to be chosen as a model. This will become a driving force for me to move ahead and keep helping the poor and the disabled."
