The document provides information on China's education system. It discusses China's compulsory nine-year education policy which includes six years of primary school and three years of junior secondary school. It notes that as of 2008 there were over 103 million students enrolled in primary schools and over 55 million enrolled in junior secondary schools. The document also gives an overview of China's educational structure which includes basic education, occupational/polytechnic education, common higher education, and adult education. It provides literacy rates and discusses policies for rural education, teachers, and adult/online education.
This presentation was an assignment for a subject "Comparative Education". This presentation explains the existing education system in China. It talks about all levels from Pre School to Adult & life long learning in China. Teacher education in China is also discussed here, along with the Planning & Management authorities regarding the financial management of the Chinese Education System.
Let me know in the comments if you want me to upload a video of myself presenting this presentation.
Education in China is a state-run system of public education run by the Ministry of Education. All citizens must attend school for at least nine years, known as the nine-year compulsory education, which the government funds. It includes six years of primary education, starting at age six or seven, and three years of junior secondary education (middle school) for ages 12 to 15. Some provinces may have five years of primary school but four years for middle school. After middle school, there are three years of high school, which then completes the secondary education. The Ministry of Education reported a 99 percent attendance rate for primary school and an 80 percent rate for both primary and middle schools.[citation needed] In 1985, the government abolished tax-funded higher education, requiring university applicants to compete for scholarships based on academic ability. In the early 1980s the government allowed the establishment of the first private school, increasing the number of undergraduates and people who hold doctoral degrees fivefold from 1995 to 2005.[4] In 2003 China supported 1,552 institutions of higher learning (colleges and universities) and their 725,000 professors and 11 million students (see List of universities in China). There are over 100 National Key Universities, including Peking University and Tsinghua University. Chinese spending has grown by 20% per year since 1999, now reaching over $100bn, and as many as 1.5 million science and engineering students graduated from Chinese universities in 2006. China published 184,080 papers as of 2008.[5] China has also become a top destination for international students.[6] As of 2013, China is the most popular country in Asia for international students, and ranks third overall among countries.[6]
Laws regulating the system of education include the Regulation on Academic Degrees, the Compulsory Education Law, the Teachers Law, the Education Law, the Law on Vocational Education, and the Law on Higher Education. See also: Law of the People's Republic of China.
Although Shanghai and Hong Kong are among the top performers in the Programme for International Student Assessment, China's educational system has been criticized for its rigorousness, as well as its emphasis on rote memorization and test preparation.

Although Shanghai and Hong Kong are among the top performers in the Programme for International Student Assessment, China's educational system has been criticized for its rigorousness, as well as its emphasis on rote memorization and test preparation.
China's education system has been experiencing major challenges in the last two decades, which have, unfortunately, not been tackled properly and deeply enough to disappear. Also, those challenges are only known by a few since the collection of data in China is almost impossible, except in the Shanghai and Beijing regions.
The two main challenges that China is currently facing are, on the one hand, an exam-oriented system, making life a nightmare for high school students and on the other hand, the development of major inequalities of performance between urban and rural regions.
As a result, our group of students came up with policy recommendations for the Chinese government to include to their undergoing reform plan, which you will discover in the last part of the PowerPoint.
Education system of japan। Comparison with Bangladesh। Key factors of educati...MUHAMMAD FERDAUS
This is a selected presentation topic of M. Ed. program in IER, DU. We presented it as a group work. this group work are jointly published with Mahathir and Raihan. Other group Members are helping us.
We try to present running scenario of education system of Japan.
Japan's educational system is clever that indeed made them placed fourth in the international science and math study in 2007,and many other achievements wherein they are competing globally.
Amidst these achievements in the said major subjects, Japan also gives emphasis and importance to what they really own; their language as part of their curriculum.
Above all of these, agencies both in public and private sectors made a big part in which they provided the needs and necessities in education.
By this, its quite obvious that Japan will continue reigning in the international education studies and also continue aiming the reality of their vision; to produce a globally-competitive individuals.
Pre-school is optional, it is obtainable from the age of three, in Thailand. It is compulsory to start schooling at primary level i.e., Prathom Suksa from the age of six. After primary school, children step onto secondary education i.e., Mathayom Suksa, which is split into a lower level and higher level.
The lower level that covers students aged to about 15, is compulsory. Schools in the Thai public system are generally open for all students, but some more respected schools select students based on entrance exams and can be fiercely competitive.
In 2015, three economies in China participated in the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, for the first time: Beijing, a municipality, Jiangsu, a province on the eastern coast of the country, and Guangdong, a southern coastal province. Shanghai, which, like Beijing, is also a Chinese megacity of over 20 million people, has participated in PISA since 2009. These four economies alone are home to more than 233 million people – more than the entire population of Brazil, nearly three times the population of Germany and nearly four times the population of France. What do we know about the largest education system in the world? A system that is educating 260 million young people, and that employs 15 million teachers? Not very much. This paper aims to change that. It provides a broad overview of how China’s education system is organised and operates, and how reforms, both past and current, have reshaped education in China over time. The report then examines in greater detail education in the four economies within China that participated in PISA 2015. It provides the context in which China’s participation in PISA – and its results in PISA – should be interpreted.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

20. Primary Education
• Under the Law on Nine-Year Compulsory Education,
primary schools were to be tuition-free and reasonably
located for the convenience of children attending them
• Students would attend primary schools in their
neighborhoods or villages. Parents paid a small fee per
term for books and other expenses such as
transportation, food, and heating. Previously, fees were
not considered a deterrent to attendance. Under the
education reform, students from poor families received
stipends, and state enterprises, institutions, and other
sectors of society were encouraged to establish their
own schools.
21. Primary Education
• Children usually entered primary school at seven
years of age for six days a week, which after
regulatory changes in 1995 and 1997 were
changed to five and a half and five days,
respectively.
• The primary-school curriculum consisted
of Chinese, mathematics, physical

24. Common Higher Education
• By the end of 2004, China had 2,236 schools of Higher Learning, with over
20 million students; the gross rate of enrollment in schools of higher
learning reached 19 percent. Postgraduate education is the fastest
growing sector, with 24.1 percent more students recruited and 25.9
percent more researchers than the year before. This enrollment growth
indicates that China has entered the stage of popular education.
The UNESCO world higher education report of June 2003 pointed out that
the student population of China's schools of higher learning had doubled
in a very short period of time, and was the world's largest.
• Particular attention has been paid to improving systems in recent reforms.
Many industrial multiversities and specialist colleges have been
established, strengthening some incomplete subjects and establishing new
specialties, e.g., automation, nuclear power, energy
resources,oceanography, nuclear physics, computer science, polymer
chemistry, polymer physics, radiochemistry, physical
chemistry and biophysics.
28. Education for migrant children
• Following the large-scale movement of Chinese rural
population to the cities the children of these migrant
workers either stay as left-behind children in the
villages or they migrate with their parents to the cities.
• Although regulations by the central government
stipulate that all migrant children have the right to
attend a public school in the cities[28] public schools
nevertheless effectively reject these children by setting
high thresholds such as school fees and exams or by
requesting an urban registration (Hukou).
29. Education for migrant children
• Following the large-scale movement of Chinese rural
population to the cities the children of these migrant
workers either stay as left-behind children in the
villages or they migrate with their parents to the cities.
• Although regulations by the central government
stipulate that all migrant children have the right to
attend a public school in the cities[28] public schools
nevertheless effectively reject these children by setting
high thresholds such as school fees and exams or by
requesting an urban registration (Hukou).
30. Teachers
• In 1985, the government designated September 10 as Teachers'
Day, the first festival day for any profession and indicative of
government efforts to raise the social status and living standards of
teachers.
• The government has started the Nationwide Program of Network
for Education of Teachers to improve the quality of teaching. It aims
to modernize teachers' education through educational information,
providing support and services for lifelong learning through the
teachers' education network, TV satellite network, and the Internet
and to greatly improve the teaching quality of elementary and high
school faculty through large-scale, high-quality and high-efficiency
training and continuous education.
• As required by state law, local governments are implementing
teacher qualification systems and promoting in-service training for
large numbers of school principals, so as to further improve school
management standards
31. Rural education
• Reflecting the fact that most of China's population live in
the countryside, 95.2 percent of all elementary schools,
87.6 percent of junior high schools and 71.5 percent of
senior high schools are in rural areas, with 160 million
students at the compulsory education stage. The 1995-
2000 "National Project of Compulsory Education in
Impoverished Areas" involved the allocation of 3.9 billion
special funds from the central finance and 10 billion yuan
raised by local governments to improve schooling
conditions in impoverished areas. In 2004, various special
funds allocated by the central finance for compulsory
education in rural areas reached 10 billion yuan, a 72.4
percent increase on the 2003 figure of 5.8 billion.
32. Adult and online education
• The participation of big investors in online education has
made it a new hotspot for investment in the education
industry. Students of remote and under-developed areas
are the biggest beneficiaries of online education, but online
universities offer students who failed university entrance
examinations and working people the chance of lifelong
education and learning.
• The Ministry of Education has approved 68 ordinary schools
of higher learning and the Central Radio and TV University
to pilot modern distance education. By the end of 2003,
these schools had established 2,027 off-campus learning
centers around China, offering 140 majors in ten disciplines,
and had a total enrollment of 1.373 million.
33. Education for migrant children
• Following the large-scale movement of Chinese rural
population to the cities the children of these migrant
workers either stay as left-behind children in the
villages or they migrate with their parents to the cities.
• Although regulations by the central government
stipulate that all migrant children have the right to
attend a public school in the cities[28] public schools
nevertheless effectively reject these children by setting
high thresholds such as school fees and exams or by
requesting an urban registration (Hukou).
34. Private education
• The government supports private
educational organizations, as well as private for-profit
educational providers.[33] The first "Law on Promotion
of Private Education" came into effect on September 1,
2003.
• Development of private schools means an increase in
overall education supply and a change in the traditional
pattern of public-only schools, so as to meet
educational needs. At the end of 2004, there were
more than 70,000 private schools of all types and level,
with a total enrollment of 14.16 million, including
1,279 private institutes of higher learning, with a total
enrollment of 1.81 million.
35. Gender equality
• A 2010 statement by UNESCO stated that in
China it is "necessary to articulate a strategy
to improve girls' and women's participation,
retention and achievement in education at all
levels," and that education should be "seen as
an instrument for the empowerment of
women
36. Overseas students
• The number of foreigners wanting to study in
China has been rising by approximately 20%
annually since the reform and opening period
began.[35] According to official government
figures 195,503 overseas students from 188
countries and regions came to study on the
mainland in 2007 although the number is
believed to be somewhere around the 300,000
region, because the government’s figures do not
include students studying at private language
schools. This makes China the world’s sixth-
largest study abroad destination.
