Description

School Choice in China: A different tale? provides a deep look into the schooling options available within China today. This book examines how middle-class parents use their economic, cultural, and social capital to secure admissions for their children in preferred schools. It offers a unique perspective on how school choice operates as a bottom-up movement driven by parents. The text examines the specific methods used to navigate the education system, including the role of choice fees, donations, and prize-winning certificates. It also looks at the influence of guanxi in the selection process. Beyond the parental perspective, the book explores how local governments and schools respond to this school choice fever to secure economic returns. This is an essential resource for those studying the relationship between education and society in a changing Chinese landscape.
