有錢任性!中國土豪收購英國名校
Investors from China have started to buy up British private schools as an increasing number of Chinese want their children to be educated in the UK.
面對英國教育的高門檻，中國投資者不以為意，直接買下英國私立學校！
It has been reported that Chase Grammar School, one of Britain's top 100 private schools, was recently bought by Achieve Education, a Chinese-owned company. The Staffordshire-based school has 300 pupils, of which 40 come from China. The Staffordshire-based school, which charges up to 11,000 pounds ($16,876) a year in day fees and as much as 36,600 pounds for boarding fees.
據英國媒體報道，一家名為Achieve Education的中國公司最近收購了位於英格蘭中部斯塔福德郡的切斯文法學校（Chase Grammar School），該學校創立於1879年，多年來一直堅持傳統的英式教育，在英國私立學校排名中名聯前茅。學校共有300名學生，其中40名來自中國。學生可以選擇寄宿或走讀兩種方式，其中寄宿學生的學費高達每年3.66萬英鎊（約合35.6萬元人民幣），走讀學生的學費約每年1.1萬英鎊（約合10.7萬元人民幣）。International schools in China can no longer meet the demands of rising wealthy families, who hope to see their children educated in an all-English and creativity-nurturing environment. Private schools in the UK are also keen to woo international students, which could bring them substantial revenue.
在國內讀國際學校已經遠不能滿足土豪家長們，他們希望更早的讓子女接受全英的環境，並在鼓勵創造性的教育體制中成長。這些家庭為英國學校帶來了可觀的收入，英國學校開始在海外進行招生推廣。
