Strictly speaking, Chinese schools do not fully conform to the requirements of the local education system. The teachers 'qualifications and skills differ widely, and many of them are parent volunteers without officially recognized teaching certificates, so that Chinese schools can only be run as not-for-profit educational support organizations.
中文學校嚴格說來，不是完全合乎當地教育制度的規定，以師資而言，水準參差不齊，多為家長義務服務，並不具教師任用資格，因此中文學校只能說是非營利的進修輔助組織。
