Tsinghua University, one of China’s top universities, has sparked an online storm by offering lessons for “modern ladies” costing 48,000 yuan ($7,623) a year, Beijing Youth Daily reported.
The curriculum offers 240 classes in total and includes art, literature and etiquette. The first session began three months ago and received 35 students. The second session has received more than 10 students, whose identities Tsinghua has refused to reveal.
The teaching staff includes several renowned professors. While some envy the students for this golden opportunity to interact with the staff, some express doubt over the intention of such a project comparing it with previous classes offered by other institutions that intended to help women marry well.
