I come from another provinces of China. I have neither permanent residence registration in Shanghai nor temporary inhabitant registration, but I currently work and live in Shanghai. Can I send my child to local schools? How?

You can send your child to local primary and middle schools. You will need to fill out a temporary schooling application form (obtain it from the company you work for) and send it to the municipal collaboration office. Once your application is approved by the collaboration office and the municipal education committee, the district educational committee will assign your child to a certain local school.

However, your child will be categorized as a temporary student, which means that after he graduates he will have to go back to where he is registered to sit the university entrance examination.
