What the hell is going on? Is this news true? Can children from other places go to public primary and secondary schools in Beijing in the future? Let's take a look with everyone!

The news is true.

On September 7th, the State Council issued the "Reply on Deepening Beijing's New Round of Comprehensive Pilot Work Plan for Expanding and Opening up the Service Industry and Building a National Comprehensive Demonstration Zone for Expanding and Opening up the Service Industry".

According to the requirements of the "Program", by 2025, Beijing will basically improve the service industry opening-up policy system focusing on trade facilitation and investment facilitation. By 2030, we will basically establish an open service industry system that conforms to international high-standard economic and trade rules, and the economic scale and international competitiveness of the service industry will enter the forefront of the world.

Beijing will promote key service industries to deepen reform and opening up; Promote the expansion and demonstration development of service industry in key parks; Form an institutional innovation system that is in line with international standards; Optimize the supply of factors for the open development of service industry.

Among them, in promoting the expansion and opening up of educational services, we will increase the supply of international education, improve the layout of schools for children of foreigners, and allow primary and secondary schools to accept children of foreigners in accordance with relevant state regulations. In improving the ability of medical service guarantee. Moderately relax the management of small doses of special chemicals for drug research and development. Support the establishment of international research hospitals or R&D beds, and accelerate the incubation and transformation of medical R&D achievements.

Generally speaking, children from other places can only attend international schools in Beijing, while public schools are only open to students with Beijing hukou. According to the New Deal, more primary and secondary schools in Beijing will be open to children from other places in the future! The specific implementation rules of the New Deal are still unclear. Which schools will open? What time does it open? What are the admission requirements and so on. , Xiao Bang continues to update, welcome everyone's attention.

Which is easier to study in Beijing, a foreign hukou or a foreigner?

For foreign students and non-Beijing foreign students, it is a common problem for them to go to school in Beijing. But relatively speaking, foreign students are much more relaxed than non-Beijing-born foreign students, and they have a greater chance to attend famous schools such as Tsinghua and Peking University.

Let's take a look at how non-Beijing-based international students go through the five customs and six generals step by step from kindergarten to university!

The first stage: kindergarten

In Beijing, many parents give priority to public kindergartens, but the number of places is limited and the pressure is particularly great. Throughout the enrollment brochures of kindergartens in various districts of Beijing, the admission conditions are mostly restricted by household registration and real estate.

However, compared with private kindergartens that cost thousands of dollars a month, most parents are still willing to send their children to public kindergartens with high quality and low price, which has caused the "one park is hard to find" in public kindergartens. In order to minimize the dispute over "who wants who doesn't want who", each public kindergarten only defines the specific enrollment scope, and usually enrolls students in the district in a limited amount according to the principle of "convenience nearby, from near to far".

Conditions to be met: Healthy children over 3 years old (born before August 3 1 and August 20 16 and over 3 years old).

Materials required for admission to the park:

Take your child to a kindergarten with the qualification of running a park with the real estate license or public housing lease contract, household registration book, child birth certificate and child vaccination certificate (subject to the inspection and seal of the vaccination unit) (see kindergarten enrollment requirements for details).

The second stage: primary school

Let's talk about elementary school. People who have no children have little idea how miserable children are in Beijing. The Beijing Municipal Education Commission stipulates that foreign students can borrow five certificates in Beijing, but five certificates can get nearly 20 certificates.

At present, students have only one student status in their life, starting from the first grade of primary school and entering the nine-year compulsory education stage from primary school. So how can children without Beijing household registration go to Beijing primary school?

Conditions to be met: school-age children over 6 years old (born on or before August 36, 3 13).

Materials required for admission of non-Beijing children:

(1) Certificate of actual residence in Beijing.

(2) Family account book.

(3) Employment certificate of working in Beijing.

(4) Beijing residence permit.

(5) No supervision certificate.

The above documents vary from primary school to primary school. Please take the requirements of the school as the final standard.

The third stage: junior high school

Children without Beijing hukou finish primary school and face junior high school. It is also difficult for parents to attend junior high school in Beijing. So what should non-Beijing citizens pay attention to when they attend junior high schools in Beijing?

Non-Beijing citizens have Beijing student status:

According to the 20 18 Beijing Xiaoshengchu District Policy, students who are not registered in Beijing but already have a Beijing student status can be directly promoted to junior high school. Fengtai District also needs to review the parents' residence permit in Beijing and the parents' social security certificate for three consecutive months. Tongzhou district needs parents to contact the school themselves.

Non-Beijing citizens have no Beijing student status:

Students who are not registered in Beijing and have no student status in Beijing need to apply for the employment certificate of their parents or other legal guardians in Beijing, the residence certificate of their actual residence in Beijing, the household registration book of the whole family, the residence permit in Beijing (or the residence registration card or temporary residence permit within the validity period), and the certificate issued by the neighborhood office or the township people's government where the household registration is located that there are no guardianship conditions in the local area, and then conduct online audit according to these, in order to participate in junior high school. Finally, the annual policy of each district shall prevail.

Warm reminder: Tongzhou District is a special case. Parents need to contact the school themselves, go to the school for consultation or telephone consultation, regardless of whether there are non-Beijing students.

Choose a private school:

The quality of private schools in Beijing is relatively good, and the students are relatively neat, but some schools have household registration restrictions. For example, Niulanshan First Experimental School needs Beijing household registration; However, private schools such as the Middle School Attached to Normal University, Haidian Foreign Language School, Jianhua Experimental School, and the Peking University Joint Experimental School attached to the National People's Congress are all very good, and they are not affected by household registration, as long as they meet the conditions for further study in Beijing.

Warm reminder: Private schools are relatively transparent in enrollment and generally have corresponding admission experience. Private schools such as the Middle School Attached to Normal University, Jianhua Experiment, Haidian Foreign Language, etc. have some difficulties in admission because of the large number of applicants. Non-Beijing parents considering sending their children to private schools need to be prepared in advance.

The fourth stage: high school

High school is a very important stage. As parents, they all want their children to go to first-class schools. According to the 20 18 Beijing senior high school entrance examination registration restriction, grade three students in this city who do not have an official residence in Beijing can only register in Beijing and apply for the corresponding school if they meet the "category 9".

Foreign candidates who do not meet the requirements can only take the test in Beijing, but can't take part in Beijing's voluntary reporting. However, candidates can go back to their hometown to find a school with the results of the senior high school entrance examination, or they can go to private schools or international classes without household registration restrictions in Beijing, but parents need to find their own schools.

To sum up, it is really difficult for non-Beijing foreign students to go to school in Beijing. For them, kindergarten, junior high school, junior high school and college entrance examination are all obstacles! Even Zhang Xiaolong, the big boss with annual income of 654.38 billion RMB, is also facing the embarrassing situation that his children have no Beijing hukou and no books to study!

Relatively speaking, there are not so many "restrictions" for foreign students to study in Beijing.

There are 19 schools for children of foreigners approved by the Ministry of Education in Beijing, such as Jingxi School and Beijing Canadian International School. Children from other places can enroll in these schools freely, and the teaching quality of these 19 schools is definitely far higher than the average level of ordinary public schools in Beijing.

At present, the distribution of children of foreigners in Beijing attending schools in Beijing is shown in the following figure, mainly in the eastern and northeastern parts of Beijing.

Distribution of foreign children's schools in Beijing

In addition to compulsory education, foreign children also have great advantages in entering universities in China. The recent news "Fujian girl Zheng Yuting changed her nationality to go to Peking University" is the best proof.

Generally speaking, major universities have official channels for international students to apply, and the specific requirements vary from school to school. Taking Tsinghua University as an example, foreign students who meet the following conditions can apply for admission to Tsinghua University:

1. Excellent academic performance, good conduct and good health, with a diploma equivalent to that of China High School.

2. At least 18 years old; /kloc-under the age of 0/8, submit the notarial certificate of the guardian in China.

3. Provide high school transcripts, high school diplomas, international pass test scores and other supporting materials.

4. The Chinese proficiency has reached the HSK Chinese Proficiency Test Level 5 (inclusive) or above, with a score of 60 or more in each subject.

Some excellent international students can even be exempted from the test interview.

Compared with the national college entrance examination where thousands of troops crossed the wooden bridge, the probability of Zheng Yuting and other foreign students entering domestic famous schools is almost 100%!

Not only is the admission threshold low, but international students can also enjoy better benefits such as tuition reduction, scholarships and accommodation. All foreign students applying to other universities in Peking University and China can apply for government scholarships through the Embassy and Consulate of China. Foreign students who have attended senior high schools in Beijing can also apply for scholarships directly from Peking University.

In addition, tuition fees can be reduced (some projects have to pay tuition difference). During the study period, you can stay in the independent double-room dormitory arranged by the school for free, and you can also get the China government scholarship and comprehensive medical insurance for international students in China for free.

Sometimes, when I see so many international students, many people will feel that instead of struggling to find a solution to the "hukou problem", it is better to become an international student like Zheng Yuting! In fact, this is also one of the effective ways for children to enjoy quality education in first-tier cities like Beijing, and there are also many successful cases.

In fact, it is very cheap to apply for a small country passport, and it is fast and the processing cost is not high. For example, a Vanuatu passport only costs $80,000.

This way can not only help children to enter international schools and famous domestic schools, but also bring many additional "benefits", such as unlimited purchase of houses, and the companies they founded will also have the opportunity to become foreign-funded or overseas Chinese-funded enterprises and enjoy the preferential policies of the state.

However, on May 28th, the Ministry of Education issued a new regulation for international students, which was implemented from 202 1 1. One of the most important items in the new regulations is the requirement to actually live abroad, which greatly raises the entrance threshold for foreign students:

If one or both parents are citizens of China and have settled in a foreign country, they will have foreign nationality at birth, but not China nationality. Since 2002 1 year, applicants who apply to study in our college as international students should not only meet other conditions for enrollment in the school, but also hold a valid foreign passport or nationality certificate for more than 4 years, and have a record of actually living in a foreign country for more than 2 years in the last 4 years (before April 30 of the year of enrollment) (if they actually live for 9 months in a year, it can be counted as1year.

Therefore, from next year, "foreign students" born and raised like Zheng Yuting will no longer be admitted. If you still want to take this route, you need to start preparing at least four years in advance, get a foreign passport four years before the college entrance examination, and live abroad for more than two years to meet the residence requirements.
