Ningbo to strengthen support to private schools

According to Ningbo Education Commission, Ningbo recently released "Measures on Promoting and Regulating Private Primary and Middle School". This policy stipulates that the government will raise the financial support to the private-funded schools and that the teachers in private schools should enjoy the same social insurances as the teachers in public schools. From this fall on, private primary and middle schools should have one third of the average financial input given to public schools.

The Measures stipulates that teachers in private schools should have the same rights as those in public schools in professional qualification approval, professional training, professional title acquisition, and identification of service years.

The educational department should include the teachers in private school in the teachers training program for the public school teachers.

In addition, the city should do a good job in the medical insurance for teachers and gradually establish a system so that the teachers in private schools should enjoy the same social insurances as the teachers in public schools.

At present, Ningbo has 116 private primary and middle schools, including 23 high schools, 8 vocational high schools, 29 middle schools, and 56 primary schools. These schools have 129,000 students.
