Many Students at Rural Boarding Schools Bullied, Researchers Find

(Beijing) – Nearly one-third of students in rural boarding schools are bullied two or three times a month, putting them at greater risk of becoming depressed, according to a report by a non-governmental organization published on May 1.

Growing Home, an NGO that works to protect the rights of rural children, teamed up with four research institutions, including Peking University's Institute for Educational Finance Research and Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, to carry out a survey in October last year.
