Students receive piglets as a reward for hard work and in the hope it will boost the local economy

Students at a primary school in a poor region of southwestern China have received piglets as a reward in an effort to encourage the pupils to study hard and to revitalise the local economy.

Last week 20 piglets were given to families of 20 students from the Xiangyang Elementary School in Yiliang county, Yunnan. The piglets were sponsored by the Shanghai Xiangwu Public Welfare Fund, in an effort to foster links between rural education and the rural economy, said a teacher from the school.

The students were selected according to their academic performance. According to videos published on Douyin, the students received the pigs and posed for photos at an award ceremony, decorated with big red paper flowers to symbolise honour, hanging in front of their chests.
