What keeps Chinese parents up at night when considering sending their kids abroad? The mainland Chinese have been sending their children to the UK for independent secondary and primary education for years, and have definitely grown more sophisticated over time. They can easily recite the list of schools in the Clarendon Nine, the Rugby Six and the Eton Twelve. They are also able to memorise the A* to A percentage of A level grades of their target schools, as well as these schools’ university destination lists both in the UK and the U.S. However, the truth remains that while Chinese parents are good at gathering the hard facts by themselves, they spend so much effort on scrutinising and comparing the “headline” statistics that they forget to ask themselves, ‘How does this serve my children and family? How does it serve me?’
