Lottery for public school seats

Primary or middle schools in Zhejiang province will not be allowed to charge school selection fees this year, said an official with Zhejiang Provincial Education Department. Instead, spare seats will be allocated in a form of lottery, China Youth Daily reported on Wednesday.

The lottery policy aims to stop the unlawful charges by compulsory education, said an official with education department.
