Features: China Private Education Research 2004-2005 is the third annual report on the study of private education in China. In 2004, the Implementation Regulations of the Private Education Promotion Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations on Sino-foreign Cooperative Education were promulgated and implemented, further standardizing private education. This annual report focuses on the downward plight and development under pressure of private education in 2004; it explores issues such as "the industrialization of education," "top schools running private schools," "education for migrant children," and "taxation for private education"; it also reflects public and societal opinions on private education and introduces international experiences in private education. The main contents include: important regulations, annual reports, explorations of issues, theoretical highlights, international perspectives, book promotions, public voices, selected policies and regulations on private education across regions, and a summary of recent domestic research achievements on private education, along with statistical data on the development of private education. The entire report is divided into several thematic sections, with only a small portion being compiled data, while the majority consists of the authors' investigative and research findings. The research quality of these findings varies, with some having a low theoretical level, merely reflecting certain phenomena in private education without identifying their causes or solutions. This annual report, resembling an encyclopedia, serves as a comprehensive resource on private education. Its target readers include policymakers and researchers in private education, various private education intermediaries, and private education institutions of all types.
