The education system in the chain

China has the largest education system in the world. About 11.93 million students took the National Higher Education Entrance Examination in 2022. Investment in education accounts for about 4% of the total GDP in China. The Education Modernization 2035 plan aims to develop the education sector from “capacity” to “quality”.

Teachers developing:

China has a good system for developing teachers. Teaching is a respected profession in China. Teachers have strong preparation in their subject matter and prospective teachers spend time observing experienced teachers. Once teachers are employed in the school, there is a system of induction and continuous professional development.

Primary school:

China's primary schools have become better over time. In 1985, most children attended primary school. Primary schools are free and close to where children live. Parents pay a small fee for books and other expenses like food and transportation. Poor families receive help.

Families were responsible for children with severe learning problems and disabilities. There were special schools for blind and deaf children, but only a few children could go to those schools.

Secondary school:

Secondary education in China has had a complicated history. In the 1960s, there were two types of schools: academic schools and technical schools. During the Cultural Revolution, there were problems with education quality, and technical schools were closed. In the late 1970s, technical schools reopened, and their enrolments increased. By 1986, secondary education became part of the nine-year compulsory education law.

High school:

In China, higher education institutions were given more responsibility to run schools that covered different regions and subjects. Universities were allowed to use their money as they wanted and to use the money they got from students for their own development. They could also use the money for things like bonuses and welfare.
