China\u2019s Educational history<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While far from perfect, their education system has successfully served the needs of the time and adapted to changes. In the 1990s and 2000s, China\u2019s economy needed a population to \u201cdrive manufacturing exports, build domestic infrastructure, and provide a foundational set of capabilities\u201d. This means that they lack engineers, managers and finance officers. Research and innovation at the time were not top priorities. In order to fulfill the needs, they educated their incoming workforce appropriately. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no denying the fact that China\u2019s system of higher education is a pressure cooker. It relies solely on a student\u2019s results from one national exam, the gaokao, to make entrance decisions.

In the process, they garnered extremely high test scores in the process; test scores that have brought China straight to the forefront of the educational scene.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future for Chinese students<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the Chinese economy moves towards \u201cconsumer led, growth centered, higher value-added services,\u201d an update is being made in the current education system. They have already begun to shift the emphasis towards vocational education, while also increasing partnerships with foreign universities to encourage multi-disciplinary degrees. Additionally, at certain universities, the gaokao is no longer the only factor taken into account for university admission. While their education system may possess numerous flaws, we cannot deny the su<\/span>ccess it has brought China throughout the past years.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is no secret that China consistently dominates standardized tests on the international platform.
