China’s private education sector has been developing rapidly over the past few years, and Shanghai now has more than 500 kindergartens, 180 primary schools, 100 middle schools, 15 polytechnic colleges, and nearly five universities in its private education sector. In order to ensure their quality, Shanghai is now enforcing inspections on private education institutions.
