On 7 November 2016, China adopted the amendment to the Law of Promoting the Privately-run Schools, taking effect from 1 September 2017. The Amendment further highlights the differences between for-profit schools and not-for profit schools, and bans for-profit schools from engaging in compulsory education. For foreign participants, the limitations, particularly on compulsory education, were set up in the 2003 Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education Regulations and its 2004 implementing rules, and is readdressed in the 2017 Foreign Investment Catalogue published in June and effective in July.
In order to understand the status quo and trends of private educational sector in China, the European Chamber is delighted to invite Ms Sherry Gong, Counsel, from Hogan Lovells to talk about the newly promulgated policies private schools are facing in terms of tuition, taxation, and investment, as well as how private schools meet the current market demands in their curriculum development, notably with the introduction of technological tools.
