Combined information on children's academic performance and school characteristics, with a household-based sample that allowed examination of the academic experiences of children who have left the education system as well as those who have persisted in it. Finally, the project was the baseline wave for the 1st large-scale, longitudinal study devoted to education and social inequality conducted in rural China.
