The unsettled clash in Chinese Education


As is known to the world, Chinese students are perhapsthe most hardworking studentsin the world. But up to now, there are not many science achievements made by Chinese scientists which can prove the correctness of Chinese education system. So the most significant question is can we find a solution.

Some people would say of course , we should change our education thoroughly and totally. The purpose of school has been fully misunderstood. I think everybody can find out the problem, students are taught like feeding ducks. Teachers will find every materials for you. All you have to do is to memorize it. No discovering is contained. All that support students are the expectation from parents and teachers and finding a good job. Besides these ,there are nothing left but being tired of studying without motivation. I was used to be a grade 3 high school student preparing for the final test. I can tell that the situationis three times worse than what I have described. After the exam, almost everybody tore up their books to release their unhappiness and anger. When you saw the paper flew like snow, you would only feel sad for students and for education.

It seems that the only way to make a difference is to abandon the whole system. No more test, no more homework. From day to day, our only task is to do whatever we  want .Teachers can use more experiments to activate children’s inner desire. So everybody can develop their interests sufficiently and unlimitedly. I’m sure that all that beyond is our ultimate goal. But we shouldn’t neglect or ignore who will pay for all these things. China is still a developing country, most ofthe people are poor. When we adopt the new education method, I can assure youthat condition in most remote area in China cannot be as well as it in rich cities. And without exams many students from poor family may never get a chance to make their lives different. The current education has many disadvantages,but it at least ensures the equality in some extent. And we have to know that the equality is the basis of the steadiness of our society. Without equality, everything is just a dream.

So that’sthe barrier China faces today. On one hand, we want to dig out students’ potential talents, on the other hand, we have to ensure the equality. We’re like walking on the ice, every single mistake will end up in huge disaster. We need to find the balance point between these two sides.

  3. Your blog reminds me a lot of memory of the grade 3 in high school.Maybe it is really a tough period ,however,after I experienced this ,I really appreciate it so much. Maybe the present education in China is not good enough,but changing it still needs a long time.

  4. The education system in China is hard to change. So is with the concept of education. And I think the college entrance examination is realitively fair, it is the most effective method to select the talents. Moreover, we become mature through the preparion and the process of the examination.

  5. The education system in any country is not easy at all because there will be something that won't be right. But, it is still the best way to improve people's lives and social mobility. I wish you well in your education, Longfei. May that inner desire lights up!

  6. There's no denying that education changed we ourselves a lot.Stress as it has,we can just view it in the form of motivation.However,do not ignore the light side of Chinese,the college examination is quite fair and our basic education is really good.But,I agree with you that our education system has problems as well.
