Introduction of private schools:

Private schools refer to schools invested by private individuals or private institutions, approved by local governments and education departments, which combine education with government and pay more attention to efficiency.

Private schools are the combination of education and market, and more of them are to solve the problem of educational efficiency. In order to adapt to the shortage of regional talents and the development of regional economy, talents are always in short supply and need education and training, so private schools came into being. Relatively speaking, private schools have advantages that large-scale public schools do not have.

By 2004, there were 85 private primary and secondary schools in Beijing, while in 2002, there were less than 70 private primary and secondary schools in Beijing, an increase of more than 10 in just two years.

Among these private primary and secondary schools, there are 35 pilot schools for the reform of the school-running system of public schools, 9 secondary vocational schools 1 1 and 9 kindergartens. Among them, about 80% schools have an annual tuition fee of 1 10,000 yuan, and about 20% schools have an annual tuition fee of 20,000-40,000 yuan, which is a veritable "noble school".

Contrary to the sharp increase in the number of "aristocratic schools", the students in these "aristocratic schools" have shown a sharp decline trend. According to the introduction of relevant comrades of the private primary and secondary school preschool education research association of Beijing Education Association, before 2000, an ordinary "aristocratic school" in Beijing could recruit 400 or 500 freshmen every year, and the number could be as high as 1,000.

By 2004, the number of new students in the "elite schools" with the best enrollment situation was only four or five hundred, and nearly 80% of the schools could only recruit one or two hundred new students. According to insiders, in 2005, the number of students enrolled in "noble schools" with 40 or 50 students accounted for at least 20%.

When the reporter verified this situation with Wang Wenyuan, director of the Institute of Private Education of Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences, the other party made it clear that they did not want to talk about private education, and claimed that "there are no aristocratic schools in Beijing, and high fees are not the same as aristocratic schools".

Many parents of students in "aristocratic schools" are worried that their children will become "waste" who are "four bodies are not diligent", "regardless of grain", "fragile" and unable to integrate into society.
