The Shanghai Municipal Education Commission is considering a policy to curtail the usage of international curriculums in private elementary and middle schools. Banning the “complete importation of international curriculums”, the policy also adds that schools must remove any foreign capital investment and must not be named after foreigners. In addition, parents will have to pay for their children’s education at home or abroad, but they can choose which school they want them to attend.
