A PE teacher has been ordered to pay 89,030 yuan (US$10,727) to a student who suffered a fracture during an extracurricular class, reports Beijing Evening News.

Chen Wenzhong launched a part-time wushu - Chinese martial arts - training course for students at his school. Wang Zhang, 15, paid 200 yuan (US$24) to take part in the course.

This March, Wang suffered a serious fracture while practicing wushu in class. His family spent about 80,000 yuan (US$9,640) on his medical treatment.

Since Chen had not received approval from the relevant governmental department to hold the course, it was ruled illegal. The court ordered Chen to compensate the boy's family.
