Province to probe 'fake' student dictionaries

Hubei provincial authorities have vowed to investigate the government procurement of 3 million dictionaries reported by media to be low quality.

It was the second time in weeks that dictionaries a local government bought for students have had problems.

"We have stopped handing out the dictionaries and will investigate the whole procurement process," the Hubei Department of Education said in a statement on its website on Monday. "Any wrongdoing will be dealt with seriously."
