Zhejiang implements the same recruitment for all citizens! What does the same recruitment for all citizens mean? What impact will it have on school district housing?

On March 11, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education issued a notice today that the province's compulsory education school enrollment will fully implement the "equal enrollment for all citizens" policy, and private schools are not allowed to recruit students across regions; public and private schools will no longer enjoy each other's enrollment privileges. So what does it mean to recruit all citizens at the same time? What impact will it have on school district housing?

1. What does the joint recruitment of citizens mean?

According to the introduction, "simultaneous recruitment of citizens" means that public and private schools implement simultaneous recruitment, that is, public and private schools register students at the same time, conduct admissions at the same time, and register student records at the same time. The Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education stated that the "same recruitment for all citizens" is mainly aimed at stopping the increasingly serious illegal "picking the best" enrollment behavior of a few schools.

2. What is the impact of the same recruitment of citizens on school district housing?

If this policy is implemented, it will actually be bad news for people who own housing in school districts, and good news for people who do not own housing in school districts. People who bought school district housing originally did so based on the best option of choosing one of two options. However, they now find that the advantage of choosing one of two options is gone. They either have to go for private schools or stick with public schools. Those who do not own a house in a school district do not have this worry. On the contrary, because those children who do not have the confidence to be admitted to private schools withdraw from the school, there is relatively less competition for admission to private schools among many good students.

The high premium for school district housing used to be due to the ability to choose one of two options. Now that the option of choosing one of two options is gone, it is no longer as attractive to parents who buy houses as before. Without the original advantages, the high premium will naturally become a low premium.

3. What are the areas where citizens can be recruited simultaneously?

1. Jiangsu Province’s “Citizens’ Joint Recruitment” has been finalized

On the afternoon of March 11, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education held a press briefing on compulsory education school admissions policies, and released a package of compulsory education admissions policies and interpretations, including the province’s “Citizens’ Joint Recruitment” policy.

The "Notice" issued by the Department of Education emphasizes the regulations and requirements for free admission to compulsory education in the nearest school, and specifically proposes the following measures. First, we will strengthen the review of enrollment plans, and clearly stipulate that the annual enrollment plans will be reviewed, compiled and issued by the education administrative departments of each city, county (city, district), and schools must strictly enroll students according to the plan. Second, the school enrollment scope must be clarified. Public schools will enroll students according to designated school districts, and private schools will enroll students within the jurisdiction of the approval authority. In principle, they are not allowed to enroll students across municipalities. The third is to fully implement the same recruitment for all citizens, with public and private schools registering applications, enrolling students, and registering student records at the same time. The enrollment period is generally scheduled from mid-May to mid-August. Fourth, the requirements for admission without examination must be strictly implemented. All compulsory education schools are not allowed to recruit students through written examinations, interviews, assessments, etc. If the number of applicants for private schools exceeds the enrollment plan, all applicants will be admitted through computer random allocation. The "Notice" also reiterated the requirement for strict and balanced class division.
