Whether the fund subsidized by the government was embezzled remains unclear since the provincial Education Department is still investigating the case, a female official from the general office of the county education bureau said when contacted by China Daily on Monday.
"I don't know anything about the issue, and all of the people in the bureau don't know either," she said. "Don't call me again."
In an effort to improve the lunch of rural students, the central government has subsidized more than 16 billion yuan annually for 26 million students from 680 counties nationwide since October 2011.
Liang, the female teacher, said that teachers in the primary school managed to collect nearly 20,000 yuan in donations from residents, and the money is going to be used to build a kitchen in the school.
"We are going to buy vegetables and cook lunch for the students, and the female teachers will become cooks at noon," she said. "By doing this, we hope the children will not be hungry anymore."
