In the modern information society, there are still about 667,000 poor rural villages in China cannot connect to the internet. More than 21 million children whom deprived of education are unable to receive a good fundamental education as a result of unfairly lose on the starting line, and unable to be out of poverty and integrate in to the modern society with no knowledge, cultures and skills. Due to limited educational and information resources in comparison urban areas, children in rural area is quite difficult to compete with children in the urban area for their future. As a result, they are very likely to live in the margin of the society. The STEM China Coalition and Synertone would work together to build the "STEM China Coalition Distance Satellite Real-time Educational Network System" and dedicate to bring the high education resource in urban to the poor rural areas, allowing more than 21 million unattended children to share the urban high quality education in real time.

With the support of the most advanced satellite communication technology, Synertone Communication Corporation is able to transmit the classes of top primary and secondary school in the urban area to the children in the rural area. Meanwhile, Synertone also provides free WIFI communication service. With the support of this service, the real-time interaction between students and teachers will become feasible. This educational system not only delivers free and high quality educational resources to the children in the poor rural areas, but also helps these children to get to know of how to use internet to access the outside world. This is crucial for the children to accumulate knowledge and skills that may change their future, and enable them to move out of poverty and create wealth.

Dr. John W. Ashe of Antigua and Barbuda was elected President of the General Assembly's sixty-eighth Session on 14 June 2013 while serving in the dual capacity as his country's Permanent Representative to both the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, positions he has held since 2004.
Guided by a passion for sustainable development, Mr. Ashe has been in the forefront of international efforts to address the adverse effects of climate change and the fight to eradicate poverty. He has served in a leadership capacity on many of the governing bodies of the major UN environmental agreements, including as the first Chairman of the Executive Board of the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). He also chaired the same Convention's Subsidiary Body on Implementation (SBI), and, most recently, the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP). "We only have the planet we live on, and if we are to leave it in a reasonable state for the next generation, the quest for a safer, cleaner, and more equitable world is one that should consume us all," he says, summing up his philosophy.
Mr. Ashe is also known for his abilities as a mediator. He successfully led negotiations that resulted in Chapter X of the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation at the 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development (Rio+10); and co-chaired the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in 2012.

He also chaired the General Assembly's High-level Committee on South-South Cooperation, the UN's main policymaking body dedicated to furthering cooperation for development among the countries comprising the global South.
Well versed in the UN's administrative and budgetary processes, Mr. Ashe was Chairman of the UN General Assembly's Fifth Committee in 2004, successfully guiding negotiations for the world body's 2006-2007 biennial budgets.
