Doors open to teachers' children

The discovery of a preferential university enrollment policy for children of school staff has prompted renewed debate about education fairness in China.

"The children of school staff at the local universities and colleges should be given admission to the school of their parents as long as their scores meet the school's minimum requirement," reads a document from the Education Department of Hunan province.

The policy, begun in May last year, is still in effect but will be annulled in 2010, according to the education department.
