Education reforms: bilingual schools and new closure procedures

The act introduces a new type of school – bilingual primary schools for grades 7-8, facilitates school takeover when current operators retire, and establishes detailed procedures for school closures involving parents and local governments. It also regulates school catchment areas, after-school care, and student meals.
Key points
New school type: bilingual primary school covering only grades 7-8, combined with a bilingual high school or technical school.
Easier school takeover: when a current operator retires, another person or company can take over the school after obtaining approval from the education superintendent.
New school closure rules: local governments must notify parents at least 6 months in advance, hold consultations, and obtain the superintendent's opinion.
After-school care and meals: small schools can provide after-school care for preschool children, and all students are entitled to one hot meal per day.
School catchment areas: precise rules for establishing boundaries, ensuring each student resides in only one primary school's catchment area.
