"Revision Chinese-style: Pupils hooked up to drips to give their brainpower a boost
The fluids are reported to contain concentrated amino acids, which help with general health, stamina and keeping the students calm.
The footage – which was recorded by a student at the school and shows darkness outside during the study session – has been viewed thousands of times online.
In China, the state grants a subsidy for pupils participating in the exam to visit their school’s infirmary if they feel unwell and receive the amino acids via a drip.
In this case, students were apparently allowed to have the drips in the classroom to save them having to go back and forth from the infirmary and lose study time.
School spokesman Gao Pingqiang told local media: ‘We’re happy to carry on if students want to.’
Mr. Xia, director of Office of Academic Affairs, told ChinaNews24 that students are administered with amino acids intravenously to keep their energy levels up.
He said: 'The state grants a 10-yuan subsidy for amino acids to each graduating senior that will participate in the gao kao (National College Entrance Exam).
'Any student that feels not well can go to the infirmary and take amino acids on the IV drip'."
