China-School-Education-Population
In a picture taken on January 21, 2015, children dressed in uniform sing after raising the national flag at the Beichuan Red army elementary school in Beichuan, southwest Chinas Sichuan province. Chinas push to encourage more couples to have a second child after decades of restrictive family planning policies has fallen short of expectations in the first year, state media reported in January. The worlds most populous country has restricted most families to a single child since the late 1970s, but the Communist Party has started easing controls, allowing couples to have two offspring so long as one of the parents is an only child, rather than both.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured on January 21,2015, we are transported to the Beichuan Red army elementary school in southwest China's Sichuan province. The image showcases a group of uniformed children joyfully singing after raising the national flag. This poignant moment symbolizes more than just a morning routine; it represents the changing landscape of education and family planning policies in China. For decades, restrictive family planning measures limited most families to only one child. However, as depicted in this snapshot, the Chinese government had recently embarked on an ambitious campaign to encourage couples to have a second child. Despite high hopes and expectations for increased population growth, state media reported that these efforts fell short during their first year. Nevertheless, this picture serves as a reminder of progress made towards loosening controls over family size. The composition of the photograph is strikingly beautiful with its horizontal frame capturing every detail meticulously. The children dressed uniformly evoke a sense of discipline and unity while their youthful faces radiate innocence and hope for the future. Photographer Fred Dufour skillfully captures not only an ordinary day at school but also documents an extraordinary period in China's history where societal norms are shifting before our eyes. This powerful image reminds us that change takes time and patience but ultimately shapes societies for generations to come.
