BEIJING, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) — The Chinese government has launched a program to improve sanitation and hygiene facilities using green technologies in rural schools. The program, jointly initiated by ministries of education, finance and agriculture, would utilize biogas and solar energy technologies in constructing toilets, drinking water and garbage treatment facilities.
Most students in primary and middle schools in the country’s poor rural areas are still using open-air lavatories with poor sewage treatment systems or suffering from a lack of such facilities, said Wang Xuming, spokesman with the Ministry of Education.
