What is education

什么是教育

The Chinese government has placed priority on developing education, putting forward the strategy of revitalizing the country through science and education, making constant efforts to deepen the reform of educational system, and implementing the nine-year compulsory education. Governments at all levels are increasing investment in education and encourage people to run education through different channels and in different forms.

China’s school education includes pre-school, primary school, secondary school, high school, university and college, as well as adult education.

(1) Pre-school education is for 3-5 year olds and takes place in kindergartens.

(2) Primary education is from 6-11. Primary schools are usually run by local educational authorities and over free tuition, although there are some private schools owned by enterprises and individuals.

(3) Secondary schooling is for children from 12-17 years of age. Education of this kind is run by local governments and various business authorities. State-run secondary schools include junior middle schools and senior middle schools, both with three grades or years. The first three years of secondary school are compulsory and tuition is free. Senior middle school is not compulsory and students must pay minimal tuition fees. Private secondary schools often offer specialized education and have a more vocational bent, but the qualifications they offer are considered to be on the same level as those of state-run middle schools. However, graduates from secondary professional schools are seen to have achieved a higher level in some ways akin to a university education. Students graduating from junior middle schools usually go to senior middle schools, although some others move to vocational high schools or secondary professional schools for 3-5 years of study.

(4) For higher education there are vocational courses as well as undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral degrees. Higher education is offered in universities, colleges, institutes, and vocational colleges. These institutions conduct academic and scientific research and provide social services as well as offering courses to students. To enter a university or college, students have to take the national entrance examination, which takes place every June and is now open to people of all ages. Selection is based on each student’s marks in this exam, and due to the number of people sitting the exam. Getting into university is highly competitive.

(5) The adult education category overlaps all four of the above categories. Adult primary education includes Workers’ Primary Schools, Peasants’ Primary Schools, and literacy classes. Adult secondary education includes radio/TV specialized secondary schools, specialized secondary school for cadres, specialized secondary schools for staff and workers, specialized secondary schools for peasants, in-service teacher training schools and correspondence specialized secondary schools. Adult higher education includes radio/TV universities, cadre institutes, workers’colleges, peasant colleges, correspondence colleges, and educational colleges. Most of the above offer both two- and three-year short-cycle (or zhuanke) curricula; only a few also offer regular undergraduate curricula.

中国是个有悠久历史的国家，也具有悠久的教育历史。从孔子办学(Confucius Institution)，到私塾(private school)的广泛化，到汉朝的官学(official school)，到隋朝的科举制度(imperial examination system)产生，再到科举被废除，西方的教育与思潮(ideological trend)到来。中国的教育走了很长的路，经历了很多的变革。但是中国的教育存在很多方面的问题。

在教育基础(educational foundations)方面，教育投入(educational input)的缺乏、国家的不够重视以及教育观念的错误等是问题的关键所在。在教育本身上面，教育目的没有完全达到，教育过程方法错误，各阶段的教育没有好的教育方针(educational policy)。在教育制度(educational system)上面，高考限制了智育以外的个人特长与爱好能力的发展。与其他国家相比较，我国的教育死板呆滞，除了高考以外缺乏全面的考察体系。科教兴国(develop the country through science and education)不应该只是一个口号，而是当我们的教育够好以后，其他国家的人一看我们的发展会说这是教育的功劳。
