Why is English education important in rural China?

first of all,I wanna say yes I agree with you that learning english is very important for us especially for the students in the rural places in China.
As we all know English is the language for all the countries and if we wnna to go outside,we need to learn it.but in the rural places,they don;t develop very well as some developed places.In some developed cities,people can learn English by many ways such as Education in the school,private learning from a foreign english teacher and communicate with foreigners to improve English.But in the rural Places,there is no such conditions to learn it.So the only way to follow the steps of development is english education in rural China.We need to English education in rural china so that we can make sure the students can follow the students in developed cities wen they go to colleges or take part in the jobs.
