Private education is an important part of China's education, but in recent years, with the development of the industry, problems such as high tuition fees and unstable teachers frequently occur. In 20021year, the state successively promulgated the Notice on Further Standardizing the Development of Private Education and the Regulations on the Implementation of the Law on the Promotion of Private Education (202 1 revision), which further standardized the development of China's private education industry and made the examination and approval of private schools more frequent in the compulsory education stage.

The number and proportion of schools have declined.

In 2020, there will be 186700 private schools of all levels and types in China, a decrease of 4820 compared with the previous year, which is the first decline in ten years. The main reason is the policy tightening, vigorously promoting the popularization of inclusive kindergartens, and the number of private kindergartens has been greatly reduced.

In 2020, among all kinds of private schools at all levels in China, there will be 5280 private kindergartens, 4/kloc-0 private primary schools, 248 private junior high schools, 267 private ordinary high schools, 32 private secondary vocational schools and 5 private colleges. Except the number of private kindergartens is greatly affected by the policy, the number of other private schools has not changed much.

In 20 16-20 19, the proportion of private schools in the total number of schools in China continued to rise, reaching 36. 13% in 20 19. In 2020, the number of private schools declined, but the total number of schools in China continued to rise, so the proportion of private schools decreased to 34.76%.

Decline in enrollment

Judging from the enrollment situation, the enrollment of private schools in China began to decline from 20 19. In 2020, private schools nationwide enrolled17,304,700 students, a decrease of 438,600 students compared with 20 19 and a year-on-year decrease of 2.5%.

The number of students in school has decreased.

In terms of the number of students, from 20 14 to 2020, the number of students in private schools in China increased rapidly, reaching 56 16. 10000 in 2065438, and dropping to 55644500 in 2020, down 0.9% year-on-year, accounting for 6564500 students in all kinds of schools in China.

To sum up, in recent years, China's private education policy has been gradually tightened. In 2020, the number of private schools, enrollment and students will decrease compared with the previous year, especially the number of private kindergartens. Generally speaking, achieving educational equity is one of the important goals of China's educational development in the next stage. In many places, the wave of compulsory education "from the people to the public" has been set off, and the development of private education industry is in trouble.
