The Beijing
Municipal Bureau of Commerce issued "Several Measures of the Beijing
Municipality to Further Strengthen the Stabilization of Foreign Investment" and
adopted 25 measures to further strengthen the protection of the legitimate
rights and interests of foreign investment and vigorously promote foreign
investment.
Thereafter, recently, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission made an
interpretation of the "Administrative Measures for Schools for Children of
Foreign Personnel in Beijing (Revised)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Administrative
Measures").
According
to the revised "Administrative Measures", sponsors of schools for children of
foreign personnel are now not limited to "foreign institutions legally
registered in China, foreign-funded enterprises, institutions in China of
international organizations, and foreigners who are legal residents", but also
now include "Chinese national public organizations or individuals other than
institutions.”
The
administrative measures clarify that an application to establish a school for
foreign children must be submitted to the district administrative department of
education where the new school is located.
In order to implement the reform requirements, Article 13 of the “Administrative
Measures” clarifies that if a school for children of foreign personnel has no
violations of laws and regulations during the permit period and has passed the
annual review, the license can be automatically renewed.
In order to
strengthen the management of the quality of education in schools for children of
foreign personnel, the chapter “Management of Learning” has been added to the
“Administrative Measures”, which explains the principles of the school
curriculum, teaching staff, hardware base, student guidance and guarantee
mechanisms for children of foreign personnel
