Changes in wind for high schools

Policy revision puts some programs at risk, but private schools expect a boom in demand

With the international divisions at public high schools facing the risk of being shut down, private schools providing international curricula expect a boom, said Gui Chun, founder and chief executive officer of DK Education, a Beijing-based education consulting company that provides an international education service to public high schools.
