C haoyang authorities to shut down 18 privately operated schools.

The education authority in Beijing’s Chaoyang District said it will shut down non?government run schools for migrant workers’ children to ensure the students receive a better education.

“The policy will guarantee migrant workers’ children will enter public schools，” Liu Libin， deputy director of the district’s education commission.

“While keeping to government regulations and principles， we will also take the practical situation into consideration to ensure that all students will be transferred to public schools，” he said.

The commission plans to close all 18 schools that meet migrant workers’ children within the next two years， according to China National Radio.

Since 2006， education authorities in the capital have been tightening the management of schools for migrant workers’ children by closing those that do not meet the standards set by government.

As greater numbers of migrant workers have moved to large cities since the 1990s， private schools for their children sprung up in Beijing， Shanghai and other large cities because public schools refuse to admit children without a hukou， or residence permit.However， some of the schools are unsafe or simply not suitable for schooling， and they are unable to obtain the certificates to operate.

Over the past six years Chaoyang Education Commission cut the number of schools for migrant workers’ children from 135 schools with more than 50，000 students， to 25 schools with 11，000 students.

Tang Xiongfang， 38， a migrant worker from Hunan Province who now works in Beijing， said two of her three children are studying at Tongxin Shiyan， a non?government school in Chaoyang.

Tang said that she is sad to hear schools will close.

“My oldest child is 15 years old and has already graduated from the school， and my other two children are both at that school. The school taught them a lot， and I can see they are very happy studying there.”

She said she worries that if her children are made to transfer to public schools， they will have trouble adapting to the new environment.

“After all， the children have been in the school since they were 5，” she said.

Enrolling in a public school requires parents to submit a series of certificates， such as a temporary residence permit and a certificate of employment， which can be difficult for migrant workers to acquire.

Tang Siping， principal of Zhenxing School in Haidian District in Beijing， said the district’s education authority is doing all they can to help the migrant workers’ children.

“The government authorized two private schools for migrant workers’ children， so some children who cannot enroll in public schools， for reasons such as their parents cannot gather all the certification needed， can go to the private schools，” Tang said. Zhenxing School is one of the authorized schools. It now has 1， 500 students.

Although the education authority provides some financial support to the authorized schools， Tang said it is not enough.

“The government subsidy only covers the school’s facilities， but does not include the expenses of the faculty. And we cannot charge the parents because that would make it unaffordable for them，” Tang said.

The school has more than 50 teachers； the wages alone cost 100， 000 yuan per month. And the school did not buy social insurance for teachers until this year， after receiving a donation from a foundation.

“The money is enough to pay three years’ social insurance for the teachers. But after that， I do not know where else to find that money.”
