A secondary school has sparked an outcry in China after awarding her top pupils with wads of cash.
A total of eight million yuan (£930,000) was given away during an award ceremony held at the Shuren Middle School in Zhejiang province on November 20. A total of 239 pupils were awarded, students aged around 15, who were said to have passed China's high school entrance examination with flying colours.
Pictures from the award ceremony, which have gone viral on Chinese social media, show piles of 100 yuan bank notes stacking up on the table in the middle of the school hall.
