Welcome to The China Education Blog!

We’ve started this blog to share some of our insights, thoughts and comments on the people, trends and opportunities in China’s booming education sector.

Education is a key element of Chinese  culture, with parents and families often making great sacrifices for the education of the next generation. Significantly increasing sums are being spent on the education of very young children, and the recent entry of Disney to the Kids’ English market underscores this.

While the Chinese government works on plans to improve education access and quality to a massive number of people across a range of age levels, there has been an exponential increase in the number of Chinese students studying abroad.

In China, this sector is at a constant simmer.

We will be looking at the government’s 12-year education plan, currently being finalised, to nut out opportunities for foreign education providers in this growing and important market. We will also bring you stories from Chinese students doing great things abroad.

We hope you find these and other topics interesting, and look forward to some engaging conversations! If you would like to hear about specific topics or opportunities, please contact us.
