Private and public schools in China
Schools can be fully subsidized by the government in the People's Republic of China. These are public schools. Schools can also be partly subsidized by the government. That means that parents have to pay tuition fees and other fees required by the school. Other schools are fully private schools, meaning that the schools are not subsidized by the government. The introduction of private schools was an attempt by the government to increase the number of literate population.[1] Private schools can claim the same legal status as public schools.[2] Private schools are thought to require a high standard of service.
