EXPLORING INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
School and Wycombe Abbey International School planned to open in 2020, all of which will be accepting both expat and Chinese children.
Chinese schools are separated into four types. Schools for Children of Foreign Workers – known as expat schools, which are closed to Chinese students and do not have to offer the local curriculum. Private schools – owned by Chinese investors and designed for Chinese citizens. Sino-Foreign Co-operatives – institutions that include a Chinese and foreign education partner and are open to both Chinese and expat students. And, International Streams – privately owned entities that run within Chinese schools and are open to both foreign and local pupils.
In an earlier forecast, studies revealed the number of students at English international schools in China would increase from 475,000 in September 2017 to 881,000 within five years.

In 2018, there are 9,008 – an increase of 13 per cent year on year,” Mr Gaskell said.
He highlighted a growing need for additional private Chinese bilingual schools such as Wellington College International Hangzhou and Nord Anglia Chinese International School Shanghai. While also mentioning a
