Anybody with first hand information and would like to share? All I can get are rumors and speculations.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Yup, sorry for not being explicit.

From the reports, in essence, the school ran out of funding, weren't able to pay the teachers despite have just received a year's tuition upfront, and the bosses skipped town.

This coupled with another similar situation, this time in Beijing, could mark the beginning of a declining market? Just trying to see if this is a one-off or part of a bigger pattern.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[It is not a rumor. There is a H.S. in the south that had an international division and it was closed down. The owner took the tuition money and left. My wife showed me the article a few months ago so I can't find it now.
If I find it I will post it.
I think this is the school.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[This was the one in the East of the city. We had the parents turning up at the Education ministry. Although I wasn't there at the time as it was over the Christmas/New Year Holiday otherwise I could shed a bit more light on it.

As far as I know the local education of that district got everyone into new schools. Whether they were able to get better/similar schools I don't know. Private education is a money pit for investors and parents, I wouldn't be surprised if a second one goes within 2019 as there is at least one more on the ropes at present.

It was always going to be a possibility which is why the local government stopped giving these private "international schools" new licences since Chinese New Year 2016.]]></content:encoded>

@Liumingke1234 That link was similar to what my wife had read. I guess I was just trying to confirm the details by someone in the know. My main curiosity is trying to determine if the failure was due to poor management or a changing market condition.

@Napolean By "we", I assume you worked there when this happened? So would you say it was poor management that did them in or was it the market simply wasn't there to support such a school in Kunming.]]></content:encoded>
