Abstract | ENGLISH:
To some extent, all schools operate in a market place; but the interaction with the market place may be particularly evident in the international schools sector, since many such schools are operated by foundations or private companies which charge fees. This article focuses on the distinctive market place of Shanghai, China, which has undergone dramatic economic development and has attracted an increasingly international population. The article focuses on both international schools and local schools that are open to the international community. It analyses when and how these schools emerged, and contrasts them with each other in terms of ownership, the types of students they target, and the curriculum offered.
FRENCH:
On peut affirmer que, dans une certaine mesure, tous les établissements scolaires évoluent sur des marchés. Les rapports qu'ils entretiennent avec le marché peuvent être particulièrement visibles dans le cas des écoles internationales, car bon nombre de ces écoles sont dirigées par des fondations ou des entreprises privées qui font payer des droits d'inscription. Cet article porte sur le marché de Shanghai, en Chine, un marché à part qui connaît un développement économique spectaculaire et qui attire une population de plus en plus internationale. L'article s'intéresse à la fois aux écoles internationales et aux écoles locales accueillant la communauté internationale. Il analyse le contexte de l'émergence de ces écoles et les compare en termes de direction, types d'élèves ciblés et programmes d'études proposés.
SPANISH:
En cierta medida, todos los colegios operan en el mercado. Sin embargo, la interacción con el mercado puede resultar especialmente obvia en el sector de la educación internacional, ya que muchos colegios están dirigidos por fundaciones o compañías privadas que aplican tasas. En este documento se estudia el caso especial del mercado de Shanghai (China) que, tras el extraordinario desarrollo económico que ha experimentado, ha comenzado a atraer a una población cada vez más internacional. El documento se centra en los colegios internacionales y locales abiertos a la comunidad internacional; se analiza cómo y cuándo surgieron estos dos tipos de colegios, y se comparan entre sí en función del régimen de propiedad, la composición del alumnado y el currículo que ofrecen. |
