We believe positive demographic growth, an increased number of Source: Deutsche Bank wealthy families, and greater education awareness are the demand drivers. However, China's supply of top universities is still insufficient and the Companies Featured admission rate remains low. This has led to surging needs for after-school tutoring services. We forecast the K12 tutoring market to see a 13-14% CAGR New Oriental (EDU.N),USD101.57 Buy in 2017-22E, assuming: 1) K12 students see a CAGR of 3%, 2) tutoring 2017A 2018E 2019E penetration rate climbs 2.5% p.a.; and 3) ASP rises (like-for-like basis) 5% p.a.

However, we now see 2017A 2018E 2019E newborns increasing from 2016, thanks to the government’s two-child policy. P/E (x) 36.8 77.5 52.6 (1.3m more newborns in 2016). Besides the positive demographic drive, more EV/EBITDA (x) 28.1 66.2 39.7 Price/book (x) 10.4 18.4 13.3 middle-class families are increasing spending on K12 tutoring for children. Per Source: Deutsche Bank capita consumption on education has tripled in Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu in the past decade amid increased education awareness, with more families investing in education, in order for their children to get into top universities. … but the reality is: China’s supply of top universities is still insufficient Admission rates into top universities (Project 985 and 211 universities) remain low at less than 3% on average. Although students from tier 1 cities such as Beijing/Shanghai/Tianjin have a higher admission rate, the rate is declining. Beijing’s admission rate to the Project 211 and 985 universities declined to 8% in 2016 from 10.6% in 2013. The intensified competition seen in Gaokao has resulted in strong competition from primary school entry exams to high school entry exams, with significant records showing students from “key schools” have a much higher possibility of being admitted into top universities. Consequently, this unbalanced supply/demand creates a huge demand for after-school tutoring, as public school education alone is perceived as insufficient for average K12 students. Valuation and risks We initiate Buy on EDU (New Oriental) (target price USD116) and TAL (target price USD35). EDU and TAL are leaders in the K12 tutoring market but they only account for less than a combined 4% market share. We expect them to grow share robustly, and believe they will penetrate into lower tier cities to increase their total market share. Our valuation is based on DCF, because K12- tutoring is a strong cash flow business with visible and stable growth. We also cross-check our DCF-based valuation by PEG. Risks include: 1) change of policy; 2) disease outbreak; and 3) aggressive network expansion. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Distributed on: 04/01/2018 07:54:27 GMT Deutsche Bank does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports.

MCI (P) 083/04/2017. 7T2se3r0Ot6kwoPa 4 January 2018 Hotels / Leisure / Gaming China Education Investment thesis K12 tutoring is a secular growth sector Our key thesis We believe the boom in China’s K12 tutoring market will continue in the next five years due to: 1) increased birth rates, thanks to the new “two-child policy”; 2) competition remaining intense, as admission rates into top universities (Project 985 and 211 universities) are still low; and 3) the number of wealthy families continues to grow, leading to increased consumption on education expense per family. Initiating TAL and EDU with Buy We initiate with a Buy on TAL and EDU. TAL and EDU are leaders in the K12 tutoring market but only account for less than a combined 4% market share. We expect them to grow share robustly, penetrating into lower tier cities to increase their total market share.

We expect enrollment and price to be the driver, with total market size growth driven by: 1) increased number of K12 students (at a CAGR of 3%), 2) rising tutoring penetration rates, which we believe will climb 2.5% p.a. (more K12 students to join K12 after-school tutoring classes), and 3) ASP increases (like for like basis) of 5% p.a. Gaokao penetration and positive demographic driver In the past 10 years, we have seen a stable birth rate in China. However, we have also seen an increasing number of Gaokao students. Gaokao’s penetration rate increased to 65% in 2016 from only 25% in 2002. In addition, the two-child policy started to take effect in 2016, one year after the policy was approved by the government. Page 2 Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong 4 January 2018 Hotels / Leisure / Gaming China Education China saw 1.3m more newborns in 2016 and we expect another 2-3m more newborns in 2017E. In the next five years, those who were born in 2016 would become the key consumers of pre-school or young children’s education. Intense competition to get a spot in top universities remains China’s general admission rate (59% in 2000 and 74.5% in 2017) for university/college has increased significantly in the past two decades. Unfortunately, only 3% of Gaokao students are admitted into top universities (universities from Project 985 and Project 211). Tier one universities’ admission rate is higher, at an average of 15%. Our channel checks further support our view that more parents intend to enroll their children in after-school tutoring from a young age (primary school students account for 59% of total), to prepare them for the three examinations before Gaokao: entrance examinations for primary school, middle school and high school. In most parts of China, middle schools are generally referred to as “key schools” or ordinary school. Students from these key schools usually have much higher potential to be admitted into for top/tier one universities. As a result, while the total number of primary school students has remained stable in the past decade, the number of students from top tier cities has continued to grow over the same period (more families are aiming to relocate to tier one cities), such as Beijing and Shanghai, etc. Increased number of wealthy families to drive “education consumption” China’s middle class has been rising quickly, as reflected in urban areas’ growing annual disposable income. The middle class believes receiving public school education alone is not enough for their children, and after-school tutoring will further improve their children’s examination ranking and admission rate. We believe middle-class families are willing to pay more for after-school tutoring than others. According to iResearch, c.60% of middle- class students actively attend tutoring classes and more than 62% of them attend two or more classes.

  • Growing Demand and Challenges Kuang-Ting Huang a Dissertation
    Remaking Chinese Planning as a Profession: Growing Demand and Challenges Kuang-ting Huang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Daniel B Abramson, Chair Jeffrey Hou, Chair Kam Wing Chan Susan H. Whiting Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Built Environments University of Washington Abstract Remaking Chinese Planning as a Profession: Growing Demand and Challenges Kuang-ting Huang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Daniel B. Abramson Department of Urban Design and Planning Associate Professor Jeffrey Hou Department of Landscape Architecture Since China initiated its pro-market reform in 1978, the way Chinese cities are governed has undergone a profound change. Central to such change is the fundamental revival of urban land as economic assets, because of which making plans for future land use has become an increasingly important government function and therefore the practice of urban planning (chengshi guihua) has begun to expand and take shape as a profession. However, with the expansion and professionalization of Chinese planning, there is also a growing criticism against the way urban planning has been developed into a development- and profit-driven profession. This dissertation thus aims to examine the evolutionary process of Chinese planning, through which the key factors causing such contradictory development are identified: First, since the 1994 tax sharing reform, the government at the local level has been put under intense pressure to increase its reliance on land transfer revenue and pursue land development. Increasingly, the role of urban planning has been limited to serving as a tool to facilitate the process, leaving other concerns largely unaddressed.

  • From Carp to Dragon the Shanghai List and the Neoliberal Pursuit of Modernization in Chinese Higher Education
    From Carp to Dragon The Shanghai List and the Neoliberal Pursuit of Modernization in Chinese Higher Education Jeremy Cohen School of International Service: B.A. International Studies College of Arts and Sciences: B.S. Economics University Honors Advisor: Dr. James H. Mittelman School of International Service Spring 2012 2 FROM CARP TO DRAGON: THE SHANGHAI LIST AND THE NEOLIBERAL PURSUIT OF MODERNIZATION IN CHINESE HIGHER EDUCATION Do global university rankings reflect an assimilation of widely held transnational views about education or are these rankings the product of historically and culturally contingent national experience? This study examines how the emergence of the first global ranking—the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU)—reflects the intermingling of dominant global discourses about higher education with Chinese realities and asks what role ARWU has played in the restructuring of power and knowledge in Chinese higher education under conditions of globalization. A number of methods are employed—including the historical contextualization of ARWU, a critical review of its methodology, and interviews with Chinese students and scholars. The analysis demonstrates that ARWU is both a product and an instrument of neoliberalism in the Chinese context. Allied to a specific discourse of excellence and quality in higher education, it reproduces the national narrative of modernization that is the hallmark of Chinese neoliberalism. ARWU also builds legitimacy for policies that restructure higher education

  • Language Management in the People's Republic of China
    LANGUAGE AND PUBLIC POLICY Language management in the People’s Republic of China Bernard Spolsky Bar-Ilan University Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, language management has been a central activity of the party and government, interrupted during the years of the Cultural Revolution. It has focused on the spread of Putonghua as a national language, the simplification of the script, and the auxiliary use of Pinyin. Associated has been a policy of modernization and ter - minological development. There have been studies of bilingualism and topolects (regional vari - eties like Cantonese and Hokkien) and some recognition and varied implementation of the needs of non -Han minority languages and dialects, including script development and modernization. As - serting the status of Chinese in a globalizing world, a major campaign of language diffusion has led to the establishment of Confucius Institutes all over the world. Within China, there have been significant efforts in foreign language education, at first stressing Russian but now covering a wide range of languages, though with a growing emphasis on English. Despite the size of the country, the complexity of its language situations, and the tension between competing goals, there has been progress with these language -management tasks. At the same time, nonlinguistic forces have shown even more substantial results. Computers are adding to the challenge of maintaining even the simplified character writing system. As even more striking evidence of the effect of poli - tics and demography on language policy, the enormous internal rural -to -urban rate of migration promises to have more influence on weakening regional and minority varieties than campaigns to spread Putonghua.

  • Chinese Or English Education? a Challenge Confronted by Chinese Government*
    US-China Education Review B, May 2015, Vol. 5, No. 5, 333-341 doi: 10.17265/2161-6248/2015.05.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING Chinese or English Education? A Challenge Confronted by Chinese Government* Geng Li-min Alexander Yuan Henan University of Economics and Law, Utah Valley University, Zhengzhou, China Orem, USA The Chinese government decided to abolish the English examination from the Gaokao (College Entrance Examination in China) in 2013, which caused a hot discussion about English education in China. Some people thought that it should be abolished long ago because studying English stands in the way of Chinese study among students, and the country may lose its cultural identity; some believed that China cannot flourish without English education and the nation should emphasize the importance of English education rather than diminish it. The paper makes a qualitative study about the relationship between English and Chinese education through an interview, then discusses the underlying reasons why people call for abolishing English education in China, and finally predicts the future of English education in China. Keywords: Gaokao (College Entrance Examination in China), English education, Chinese education, traditional Chinese culture Introduction On March 1st, 2013, the Ministry of Education of China issued the paper “The Opinion on the Deepening of the General Education Reform in 2013”, which makes it clear that English will be dropped out from the traditional Gaokao (College Entrance Examination in China) in 2017, instead it will be put into the social test more than one time in one year (Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, 2013).

  • China's Quest for World-Class Universities
    MARCHING TOWARD HARVARD: CHINA’S QUEST FOR WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITIES A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies By Linda S. Heaney, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 19, 2111 MARCHING TOWARD HARVARD: CHINA’S QUEST FOR WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITIES Linda S. Heaney, B.A. MALS Mentor: Michael C. Wall, Ph.D. ABSTRACT China, with its long history of using education to serve the nation, has committed significant financial and human resources to building world-class universities in order to strengthen the nation’s development, steer the economy towards innovation, and gain the prestige that comes with highly ranked academic institutions. The key economic shift from “Made in China” to “Created by China” hinges on having world-class universities and prompts China’s latest intentional and pragmatic step in using higher education to serve its economic interests. This thesis analyzes China’s potential for reaching its goal of establishing world-class universities by 2020. It addresses the specific challenges presented by lack of autonomy and academic freedom, pressures on faculty, the systemic problems of plagiarism, favoritism, and corruption as well as the cultural contradictions caused by importing ideas and techniques from the West. The foundation of the paper is a narrative about the traditional intertwining role of government and academia in China’s history, the major educational transitions and reforms of the 20th century, and the essential ingredients of a world-class institution.
