This week’s view
On April 6, the general office of the Ministry of Education issued the notice on doing a good job in the proposition of 2022 middle school entrance examination (hereinafter referred to as the notice). According to the requirements of the notice, the proposition shall be made in strict accordance with the curriculum standard. All localities should conscientiously implement the requirements of the compulsory education curriculum standard proposition, resolutely cancel the junior middle school academic level examination outline or examination instructions, do not exceed the standard proposition and arbitrarily expand or reduce the scope of the examination content, and strictly prohibit the high school curriculum content, subject competition test questions and out of school training content as the examination content, so as to ensure the connection between the standard proposition and teaching and examination.
At present, we recommend two main lines: (1) Vocational Education: Shanghai Action Education Technology Co.Ltd(605098) , Jiangsu Chuanzhiboke Education Technology Co.Ltd(003032) ; (2) Higher education: at present, some higher education stocks 22pe have fallen below 10 times, mainly due to: 1) higher education companies are cautious about M & A expectations, partly due to the current upside down valuation of the primary and secondary markets; 2) At present, most regions have not yet issued detailed rules for the selection of business and non business, and the market is worried about the policy risk of higher education stocks; 3) Concerns about future price increases and the ceiling of net interest rates. We believe that, on the one hand, the performance of higher education sector continues to be stable. On the other hand, the state accelerates the implementation of vocational undergraduate work, and private undergraduate schools are expected to benefit. We continue to recommend China Education Holdings, hope education, Gaoxin education group, Zhonghui education, China Science and technology training, etc.
