Re-education camp in Yarkant, 莎车县职业技能教育培训中心

Yarkant uses a decentralized camp system, which comprises at least 4 Communist Party Schools and 5 National Education Schools across the county. Here are CCP schools:

Camp 48:

乌达力克乡 CCP school camp: 38°21'54.1"N 77°07'11.5"E

(note: I previously wrote about this camp and numbered it as 37. But I discovered two more similar camps. I think it is better to group them together in one single post. So I renumbered this camp and moved it here)

This government tender notice says there is a reeducation camp in Wudaleke Township’s Communist Party School.

Left image is the location of Wudalike CCP school showed in Gaode Maps. Right is the corresponding address in Google Earth.

The buildings in the red circle is 国民教育学校 National Education School, which is also a camp, more details about it can be found here.

The tender notice mentioned above also says there are camps in 艾力西湖镇 and 佰什坎特镇.

Camp 49:

佰什坎特镇 CCP school camp 38.460150, 77.467439

Camp 50:

艾力西湖镇 CCP school camp: 38.678054, 77.304839

One of the common features of these three camps is the red roof hall. These halls look almost identical.

The teaching buildings inside these three camps are also almost identical.

This is probably they are from same blueprint. News suggest these three CCP schools are built at the same time by fundings from Shanghai.
