Beijing middle school teacher Sun Jianyun, 26, was a dedicated student and worked hard to achieve her current position. Yet when she graduated she found her career opportunities were not equal to those of men.
"The truth is too many women major in education. So many schools ease the entry standard for men," Sun says.
But on China's campuses, the positionof women is improving. In 2004, female higher education students accounted for 45.7 percent of the student pupulation, an increase of 10.3 percentage points over 1995. And as more women enroll in university, their results are also improving.
At Shanghai University, men were awarded less than a quarter of this month's scholarships in creative fields like advertising, broadcasting and photography.
Even in male-dominated areas, like China Jiliang University's (Hangzhou) College of Mechatronic Engineering course, only two men have won scholarships over the past three years.
