The former headmaster of Shenzhen Middle School, Wang Zhanbao, resigned from the school due to health issues, according to the official WeChat account of the Shenzhen Municipal Education Bureau.

    Zhao Li, the current headmaster of Shenzhen No.2 Experimental School, will be appointed as the new principal of Shenzhen Middle School, one of the top schools in the city.

    Before his tenure as the headmaster of Shenzhen No.2 Experimental School, Zhao was the vice principal at Shenzhen Middle School for over a decade, which made him an appropriate option for the post.

    Born in 1968, Zhao has a good reputation in education circles for his achievements in helping Shenzhen Middle School with an array of innovations, such as systems of elective courses and an international curriculum.

    The appointment of the school’s principal was a hotly discussed topic because the school is one of the best options for the city’s top students, and the principal could make differences to the school’s policies. (Zhang Qian)
