China plans to replace weak school buildings

Bookmark and Share   print    email    Favorite    Transtlate   

Native governments across China have been asked to replace weak school buildings with more quake-resistent ones in three to five years and ensure every student having one desk and one chair.

The goals were set in a Wednesday circular in which the ministries of education and finance and the National Development and Reform Commission raised a series of requirements to improve primary and middle school education, especially that in impoverished regions.

The circular, with 20 minimum requirements, stipulates that one class should have no more than 66 students and boarding schools ensure one bed for each student.

In China's sparsely populated mountainous regions, long commutes between homes and schools force many children into boarding for a semester. They sometimes have to sleep together and are crammed into crowded classes as boarding facilities and teaching staff are inadequate.

While stressing that these requirements should be prioritized on local governments' agenda, the circular warns against building luxuriously equipped schools.
