Over 98 percent of school age children are enrolled in primary schools in China, due to the central governments campaign to popularize children's education.
Moreover, the quality of education has been improved.
Governments at all levels are taking measures to relieve the burdens of families with financial difficulties, such as reducing and even remitting students' tuition fees and book fees.
In addition, China has set up funds for special education, giving support to handicapped children.

Next time you enter a fast food joint, don't be surprised if you find green and grease free salads among the usual offering of burgers, fries and chicken nuggets, as many fast-food companies have recently altered their menus to attract health-conscious people.
A salad probably sounds like a good alternative to a greasy cheeseburger. But don't assume too quickly that these meals are better for your waistline.
You could consume as many calories and grams of fat in a fast-food salad as in a deluxe burger. Often, half the fat in fast-food salads comes from the dressing.
However, fast-food salads are still a healthier choice than a burger and fries. And eating a salad is a great way to boost your daily vegetable intake.
