Supporting Good Quality Education for All Since 2016, ESR has worked closely with China Red Cross and other organisations to support the Qin Charity Fund (QCF) fulfil its mandate of expanding access to modern educational opportunities for children in rural China. This national initiative spans 13 provinces and municipalities, raising funds and coordinating resources to create “future classrooms” in rural communities. Over the past 3 years, volunteers from ESR have helped to construct 5 classrooms utilising the latest technologies and digital resources, and participated in office charity events to raise money for classroom equipment. These facilities are helping to equip more than 3,000 students with essential skills for employability in the future economy. The QCF provides teachers from participating schools with tools, materials and training for technology uptake. In 2019, it hosted its second Principals’ Forum attended by representatives from all over the nation, and launched a new “5C” future classroom curriculum. “ Nurturing talent is crucial for sustainable growth of the new economy. Our goal is to build a platform that provides students in rural areas with equal and diversified learning opportunities, enabling them to widen their vision, gain knowledge and develop valuable life skills. ” Jinchu Shen, ESR Co-founder and Co-CEO 5.89 RMB M Invested 100,000 > Books Donated 50,000 > Student Beneficiaries 62 Future Classrooms Qin Charity Fund KPIs 14 ESR Annual Report 2019 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT
