Teachers in a Yangzhou kindergarten in Jiangsu province went on strike on Wednesday to protest their low salaries, Xinhua News Agency reported on Thursday.
The teachers' salaries are 1,500 yuan ($241) a month, the city's minimum wage, but local regulations stipulate that the salary of kindergarten employees should be at least 2.5 times the minimum wage.
A kindergarten teacher is being questioned by Beijing police after confessing to beating and terrorizing 21 children in her care. The 27-year-old teacher, surnamed Liu, has admitted hitting, kicking and screaming at children over the past year, said Chaoyang District education officials.
