City schools rank low again in survey

A lack of proper resources was just one reason given in a national poll released yesterday that put Beijing out of the top 10 cities for education in China. This makes it the second year running.

The poll attempted to evaluate the educational level of major cities in China by collecting the opinions of 6,000 people in phone interviews.

Beijing ranked 13th this year out of the 30 cities. The poll was jointly conducted by 21st Century Education Research and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
