A Chinese school has attracted criticism after telling more than 30 of its final year students to undergo cosmetic surgery before they graduated.
The school, in Wuhan, Hubei Province, told students, mostly girls, that they would have a better chance of employment if they improved their appearance, by undergoing such procedures as double-fold eyelids, breast enlargement and removal of moles on their faces.
The school justified the advice by saying that since many of the students want to work as airline cabin attendants upon graduation, their appearance will be important to a potential employer.
Some students countered that the school was focusing too much on the appearance of students when it should be taking steps to improve the standard of teaching at the school.
