Dawa Zoma is a Tibetan high school student studying science. After the earthquake, she was relocated to Hongyuan High School of Aba Prefecture.

Her new classmates are from Wenchuan, DuJiangYan, and other quake-affected regions. There were no science classes at Hongyuan High School, but the school set up a science class and assigned experienced teachers to help.

Dawa Zoma, Grade Three student of Hongyuan High School said "Now we're devoting every effort to preparing for the exam. The teachers all care for us and help us a lot."

Jiange High School in Guangyuan County partly collapsed during the quake. Now the grade three students have moved into makeshift houses to continue their studies.

An education team form northeast China's Heilongjiang Province has arrived. They teach the students regular academic subjects, and also give them psychological guidance.

Gong Dongliang, Team Leader of Heilongjiang Education Assistance Team said "Before the exam, the students are feeling more anxious and worried. So we give guidance in the light of their situation, and the results are satisfying."

Students say they appreciate their teachers' help, and will do their best in the exam.
