Yes it's very poor, but we're talking about education here. Primary and secondary education is free except for a yearly contribution that is typically 100 to 200 Yuan (16 to 32 dollars), which even the poorest family can afford. I heard that even the contribution has been cut in recent years, but I cannot verify that.
