International schools

In the last few years, the number of international schools (the K-12 kind), along with their enrollments, boomed in many Asian countries. Growth was particularly robust in China, where international schools expanded from 123 schools in 2006 to 210 this year. But the trend has reversed recently as the recession is driving expatriate business people home.

By the way, some guy named Nicholas Brummitt is quoted in the article. I came across it because I have a Google alert for “Brummitt” that sends me links to anything new on the web with the word Brummitt. It’s usually a few little things about the Brummitts in North Carolina, the Brummitts in the U.K., or the Brummitt school in Indiana.
