Abstract

This note provides a brief survey of the major entrepreneurial and innovation trends in China’s K-12 education landscape, using trends in public policy as background, but focusing on opportunities available for the private market. The note first provides a brief overview of China’s K-12 education, including its history, current resource distribution, regulatory themes and drivers for investment interest. With heavy cultural and social emphasis on education, one of the largest student populations in the world, vast geographical differences and limited resources, China’s K-12 education presents an attractive market ripe for entrepreneurial activities.
