CRI听力:Chinese Investors Buy up British Private Schools

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.

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.

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.
