The Hubei Province Education Bureau in central China is probing the allegations that a local high school gave its senior students intravenous drips in classroom to boost their memory and allay their anxiety.
Xiaogan City No. 1 High School said each student was subsidized 10 yuan (US$1.6) by the provincial education bureau for amino acid injection to relieve their stress ahead of the National College Entrance Exams.
But the bureau denied giving amino acid injection subsidies, the Beijing Times reported today.
Pictures posted on Weibo.com by a netizen called CHImushroom on Friday showed nearly 30 senior students were having an intravenous drip in their classroom and the photos raised much controversy on the Internet.
Li Jingren, a Beijing doctor, told the newspaper that the abuse of amino acid could harm to the students' health and each bottle would cost nearly 100 yuan.
Sun Zhongshi, an expert with the State Food and Drug Administration, said students are prone to get cross-infection when receiving injections in the classroom. "Whether amino acid can improve memory remains a question."
