If you want your child to enter the school nearby, you can enter the school without examination. No problem, this is stipulated in the Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC)! But if your little baby lives somewhere else with you, the situation is a little different. There is a problem that needs attention here, that is, who will pay for this "money"?

Conditions for equal access to compulsory education

If you go to school where you work or live, the local government will also provide equal conditions for children to receive compulsory education.

Temporary/temporary student fees

Who will pay for this "money" depends on the regulations of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government. Generally speaking, this may mean an extra fee, which is what we often call the "borrowing fee".

Contact the school

If you want to know more, or have problems contacting the school, remember to bring your temporary residence permit, ID card, household registration book and proof of the neighborhood committee where you live now.

Education bureau complaint

If the school can't give you a satisfactory answer, you can complain directly to the local education bureau.
