The state-run Xinhua news agency said that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has "ordered local authorities to investigate the reasons why school buildings collapsed in the earthquake."
"If quality problems do exist in the school buildings, we will deal with the persons responsible strictly with no toleration and give the public a satisfying answer," education ministry official Han Jin said, quoted by Xinhua.
