1. Nature of running a school:
Chinese-foreign cooperative education refers to the cooperation of higher education institutions in two or more countries, which usually involves the establishment of Chinese-foreign cooperative education institutions, teaching content and curriculum setting. Private schools refer to schools founded by private or non-governmental organizations, and their ownership and management are the responsibility of individuals or organizations.
2. Sources of funds:
Chinese-foreign cooperative education is usually jointly invested by partners from two or more countries, and the sources of funds are more diversified, including partner investment and tuition fees. Private schools are mainly funded by donations or investments from individuals or non-governmental organizations.
3. Mode of cooperation:
Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools is usually signed by two or more Chinese and foreign institutions of higher learning to cooperate in teaching, scientific research and teachers. The forms of cooperation include joint training, joint courses and teacher exchanges. Private schools are independent schools and have no cooperative relationship with foreign educational institutions.
4. Academic accreditation:
The academic qualifications of Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools are usually recognized by Chinese and foreign education authorities, and they have obtained double degrees or international recognition. The academic certification of private schools is usually recognized and authorized by the national education authorities.
Expand knowledge:
The development of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools in China benefits from the reform and opening-up policy, which provides China students with higher education opportunities in line with international standards and promotes the development of domestic higher education. Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools usually needs to comply with the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education, which will examine and approve for the record.
The development of private schools in China has also been encouraged and supported. They play an important role in meeting the diverse educational needs of society, improving the quality of education and promoting educational equity. Whether it is a Chinese-foreign cooperative school or a private school, it should abide by the relevant laws, regulations and educational policies of the state, ensure the quality of education and protect the rights and interests of students.
