Education has become the top priority for Kashgar, a prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

This is despite the area, which borders Afghanistan and Pakistan, still being under pressure from terrorists, separatists and extremists, the prefecture's commissioner said.

Banners regarding maintaining social stability on the streets of Kashgar deliver the message of Xinjiang people to those who constantly want to sabotage the peaceful life of others, said Mutalif Wubuli, who is also a deputy from the Xinjiang delegation to the 12th National People's Congress.
