Bilingual Bridging Tutor Network (Yi + Mandarin)
A curated marketplace connecting trained bilingual tutors (preferably from Yi communities or fluent in Yi) with rural minority students for intensive 1-on-1 and small-group instruction in Mandarin literacy, math, and enrollment exam prep. Tutors work remotely or in-person in cluster hubs; students access via WhatsApp, WeChat, or in-person sessions in village learning centers. The service includes culturally-adapted curriculum that validates Yi language/identity while building Mandarin proficiency—the actual barrier to enrollment in Han-majority schools.

Value Proposition
Directly solves the enrollment barrier (Mandarin fluency) without requiring relocation. Tutors are local or culturally matched, reducing cultural displacement risk. Existing resettlement programs fail because students arrive unprepared linguistically; this fixes that upstream. Tutors earn 40-60% more than local farm labor, creating incentive to stay in community.
Target Audience
Yi and other minority students aged 6-18 in Daliang Mountains; parents/village leaders; education NGOs already working in the region

Rural ethnic minority students lack access to quality education and face barriers to school enrollmentYi ethnic and other minority students in remote southwestern China's Daliang Mountains struggle to access adequate educational resources, face geographic isolation, and experience enrollment barriers that limit their academic opportunities. Current resettlement programs attempt to address this through relocation, but implementation gaps, cultural displacement concerns, and insufficient infrastructure in receiving areas create ongoing educational access problems for vulnerable student populations.
