A senior high school in China has installed metal bars on all balconies after two pupils committed suicide in six months. Web users suggested the fence was put up by school authorities to prevent more pupils from jumping off the building, the People's Daily Online reports. Hengshui No 2 Middle School is an 'exemplary school' in Hebei Province in central China. With nearly 10,000 pupils and more than 500 teachers, the boarding school is well-known for its outstanding academic achievement. Behind bars: Hengshui No.2 Middle school is accused of making itself look like a prison in order to prevent students from committing suicide . A large number of the school's pupils are admitted by top universities every year, which inspires parents from across the country to send their children to study there in order to have a 'bright future'. Two pupils from the school plunged to death, one in October and one in March. Both were reported to be third-grade pupils, who were at their final year at Hengshui before taking the university entrance examination. Pictures of the school's new balcony fence first appeared last week on Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter. A Weibo user named 'Nicky Wu from the East' posted this set of images on April 16th. 'In order to prevent pupils from jumping off the building, Hengshui Middle School has spent a fortune,' wrote the user. Tragic: Two pupils from the school have plunged to death since last October, causing public outcry . Another user named Mr Chen Zonghe commented: 'This is indeed a school, but in order to stop pupils from taking their lives, it has made itself look like a prison.' Causes of the two suicides were not officially reported by Chinese media, but many suspect they were linked to the aggressive teaching style the school is famous for. The campus is run with a military-style management. All students must get up at 5:30 and study 10 hours a day. All meals must be finished within 15 minutes and toilet breaks are less than three minutes, according to Xinhua News Agency. Students are given one holiday every three weeks. Stressful: Banners are hung throughout the campus to impress pupils that only success is allowed . Various videos online also show how the school trains pupils like exam machines. Banners are hung throughout the campus, bearing inspiring slogans such as 'key to the success of the university entrance examination is to succeed in every day, every subject and every question'. In an 'oath-taking ceremony' held for the third-grade, thousands of pupils are seen standing on the playground wearing uniforms yelling 'I must succeed' unanimously and repeatedly. The education authority of Hengshui told Chinese media they have noticed the pictures of the so called 'anti-suicide bars' in No 2 Middle School  and they are currently investigating the case.
