[Hundreds of Students and Parents in Shaanxi’s Xixian New Area Protest for Days, Multiple People Detained]
On Monday (July 21), a protest initiated by hundreds of students and parents from Xixian New Area in front of the Shaanxi Provincial Petition Bureau, aimed at demanding fair access to education, ended with multiple parents being detained.
According to several parents, the number of admission slots for public high schools in Xixian New Area was severely limited during this year’s high school entrance examination, leaving many students who scored over 600 points unable to enroll in public schools. As a result, they are left with no option but to attend private schools, where tuition fees amount to tens of thousands of yuan per year—an unaffordable burden for many families.
Since last Saturday, hundreds of students and parents have been gathering for consecutive days at the Xixian New Area Administrative Committee and the Shaanxi Provincial Petition Bureau, calling for an increase in public high school admissions.
