All set to catch 'em young

EF Education First, the Sweden major in private education, expects to double enrolment of students for its short-term summer courses in the next two to three years, driven by huge demand from Chinese parents, said its top executive.

Each year, more than a million Chinese people go abroad for study tours, including 300,000 for long-term courses.

Joe Chiu, country manager of the EF Education First International Language Center China, said overseas courses for teenagers have seen double-digit growth in recent years.
