Building Better Schools in Rural Areas Worth the Price, Say Experts

(Beijing) – Several education experts have called on the government to invest more into rural education policy, after four children killed themselves in the southwestern province of Guizhou.

Three sisters and a brother aged five to 13 were found dead after drinking pesticide at their home in Cizhu Village, in the city of Bijie, on June 9. Villagers and officials said they had lived alone for years because their father migrated to find work in another province and their mother left home in 2013.
