City to improve international curriculum

All schools at the compulsory educational level have to teach content regulated by the State

Shanghai will improve its supervision of the international curriculum in private schools, but this will not affect international schools for expatriate students, authorities said.

Shanghai Municipal Educational Commission held a conference last week on the administration of private schools, highlighting problems such as enrolling Chinese students in international departments; teaching Chinese students the international curriculum; and weakening foundation courses, such as Chinese or ideological and moral lessons.
