(28 May 2020, Shanghai) Hurun Education, the education platform of Hurun Report Inc., today released the Hurun Education Top International Schools in China 2020, a ranking of the Top 100 international schools in China. This is the third year of the ranking.
This report also includes, for the second year, the Hurun Top International Schools in Hong Kong and Macao 2020, a ranking of the Top 10 international schools there.
As in previous years, the Hurun Education Top International Schools in China is based on a peer to peer review. Between December 2019 and March 2020, Hurun Education surveyed 282 international education experts in China. Hurun Education asked them, in an unprompted question, to recommend up to five schools from each of ‘Greater Shanghai’ (Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang), ‘Greater Beijing’ (Beijing and Tianjin), Guangdong and ‘Rest of China’ that provided – in their opinion – a good all-round education. Hurun Education received 2188 votes in total, an average of 8 votes from each respondent. 59% of respondents were school principals or senior teachers, 33% investors, overseas study agents and training institutions, and 8% were from education authorities and specialist education media. 337 schools received votes, up 20% on last year and more than double that of two years ago. 11%, down from 19% last year, of respondents were non-Chinese. Schools were ranked on an index of 1 to 100, the school with the most votes receiving the maximum index of 100. The rankings refer to international schools in mainland China only.
Rupert Hoogewerf, Chairman and Chief Researcher of Hurun, said, “The survey for the Hurun Education Top International Schools in China concentrated exclusively on a peer review of ‘international school experts’ rather than parents, because we believe that experts in the education industry have a broader understanding of the overall quality delivered by international schools, whilst parents tend to focus on the school where their children are studying.”
“Covid-19 and education reforms have had a significant impact on international schools in the past year. First, Chinese nationals, no matter the school, need to learn the same curriculum in years 1 to 9 (until the age of 15), and second, if applications exceed quotas, schools need to adopt a lottery system for student admissions. As for the virus outbreak, whilst it has made recruitment of international teachers harder, it is – on the back of US-China tensions – driven more parents to send their children to international schools domestically, rather than abroad.”
“This ranking is targeted at parents, teachers and university admissions officers. For parents, the Hurun ranking can be a useful tool to help select the right school for their children, for teachers it can a useful guide to find out which schools are performing in the eyes of their peers, and for university admissions officers it can be used as a guide to understand the ranking of the school applicants are coming from.” Hoogewerf added.
“Annual fees for international schools range from just below CNY 100,000 for the highly competitive public school international divisions up to CNY 300,000 for international schools open to non-Chinese passport holders only.”
