China earmarks funds to improve rural students' nutrition (2)

The survey was based on physical examinations of 1,458 rural students aged between 10 to 13.

To address the issue, China started a nutrition improvement program in 680 poor counties in 2011. Under the program, each rural student in the nine-year compulsory education period in the 680 counties is entitled to a three-yuan meal subsidy per day.

However, in some cases the funding has not been effectively used in the policy's implementation process due to a lack of supervision.

In its latest report, the CDRC called for a more detailed responsibility-mechanism in the policy design to ensure it is strictly carried out.
