Children Programs seem to be popular during the schools breaks normally experienced by young learners in China but this year I have noticed a lack of advertising and employment opportunities.

Has your company offered a Winter Camp and if so is it bringing in the numbers?

Do you think that the current economic situation has adversely decreased the attending market share?

Those that have schools or programs offered to the Winter Camp market; does the pay offered in addition to your normal duty salary make it worth while to seek these positions as opposed to taking the full spring festival off and say, traveling to Thailand or even visiting home?

The current demographic of the Chinese population shows that the current number of students will start shrinking.

The latest "boom" of students has hit senior high/university. Younger levels of schools will soon be facing the challenge of filling the class or being closed.

The government is even encouraging "those who have the means, and can afford it, should have a second child". that was a translation from a co worker, not an official quote ).

Anyway, I think the education world is going to target older students for a few years. The biggest target is not the young ones. And we all know the truth is they want to make money, not educate, so the bigger the target, the better.
