Bridging the Education Gap in China’s Rural Communities - Seite 2

The STEM Enlightenment Class Program equips all five schools with audio/video equipment and enlists expert STEM lecturers from the region to deliver comprehensive training to teachers.

"Our hope is that through better teaching, technology and resources, the students can better connect to the world and learn," said Ivy.

Equipped with newfound knowledge, educators are empowered to inspire children, fostering a scientific mindset that encourages exploration, learning and critical thinking.

Empowering minds through volunteerism

Recently, the STEM Enlightenment Class Program organized a dynamic two-day volunteer event, where Trane Technologies volunteers visited three out of the five rural schools. As an integral component of the program, the volunteer event served as a platform for our employees to actively engage with the students and gain valuable insights about their lives and experiences.

The volunteers provided engaging STEM classes, interactive games, and other fun learning activities for the students. They also visited the families of two students and provided essential daily necessities. These visits served as an opportunity to understand the students' study plans, learn about their family conditions, and offer encouragement and support.

"We send our volunteers to these distant rural communities not only to support the students, but also to better understand their needs and explore how we can be of assistance," Ivy shared. "Their experiences provide valuable insights into the lives and challenges faced by the rural student population."

Expanding program impact

In the first year of its launch, the program successfully provided 96 science courses and distributed 2,144 science experiment packs to the five rural schools. Starting in September 2023, the program is set to expand its reach to 21 rural schools in Guizhou and Sichuan, benefitting over 2,100 students. This expansion will further extend the program's impact, empowering a greater number of students with the opportunity to engage in enriching STEM education experiences.

As part of our 2030 Sustainability Commitments, we have allocated $100 million and 500,000 employee volunteer hours of support to ensure that communities around the world have the resources to teach and inspire all students to build sustainable futures. Our collaboration with Yuanshan Charity Education Foundation is one of a growing number of partnerships helping us carry out our mission.
