UK to export preschool expertise

Preschool education institutions in the United Kingdom are being encouraged to expand into China as part of a government initiative to market British expertise abroad.

The Great Early Years campaign, which is run by the Department of International Trade, aims to send 10 representatives from UK kindergartens, preschool education chains and training providers to Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen in September.

The trade department said it thinks there is a demand for British preschool know-how in China given recent changes in Chinese policies, such as allowing all couples to have a second child.
