51 to be exact!
Due to the abolition of the one-child policy and an expected spike in admissions, officials report that this month Shanghai will open 51 new kindergartens.
According to the Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission, the estimated number of newborns will increase each year by 20-30,000!
The kindergartens established this month will take in an additional 23,000 children, but with numbers that big, we expect there will be many more schools (and teacher positions) to come.
