An online survey published Thursday showed a majority of Chinese oppose college tuition increases and want colleges to reveal their financial situations.
Â
About 76.1 percent of 2,083 survey respondents clearly opposed recent increases in college tuition, according to a report on the survey.
Â
The survey was conducted by the research department of the China Youth Daily, a major newspaper, together with the consulting firm ePanel.
Â
About 78.9 percent of those surveyed had already graduated from college, while 8.1 percent are college students and 56 percent of respondents have college students in their families, according to the report.
Â
In July 2013, China's Ministry of Education lifted a ban on tuition hikes. Since then, a number of provinces, including Shandong, Fujian, Hubei, Guizhou and Guangxi as well as Tianjin Municipality, have raised the standard tuition for public colleges.Â
