The school license is divided into original and duplicate copies, both of which have equal legal effect and have the same number.

The generation, processing, sharing, and application of electronic licenses for private schools shall be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations.
The school operating license shall be accurately and normatively filled out by the private school licensing authority in accordance with the Shanghai Citizen School Operating License Filling Standards, and shall not be altered.

If a private school has no actual enrollment or educational activities, its educational license shall be naturally invalidated upon expiration, and the licensing authority shall announce it to the public. If the validity period of the private school operating license expires and no application for renewal is submitted, the licensing authority may cancel the operating license and make a public announcement 60 working days after the expiration of the validity period.
