As Shanghai develops rapidly, more and more Chinese from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas have come for investment, career, study and settlement, and many brought their families here. Getting their children into a local school has become a necessity.

 

According to the 2010 statistics, there were 1,760 Chinese students from Hong Kong (577), Macao (219), Taiwan (930) and overseas (34) enrolled in Shanghai universities. Meanwhile, 8,165 students from Hong Kong (1,565), Macao (171), Taiwan (5,438) and overseas Chinese (991) were studying in local primary and middle schools.
