advantage: we have the best basic education in the world
disadvantage: pressure and no time on our interests, study only for examination, competition everywhere
Having exams and selection from primary school sounds nice to get the best elements on best schools, which usually gives very good students and nice window for China when they study aborad.
Same as allowing many people to study; giving opportunity to many and not letting studies to rich kids only is usually very nice.
That's for the pros. Now for the cons:
Too much pressure.
Very focused on some topics (reading, natural sciences, maths) and, hence, lacking culture in other topics
Preventing from independent thinking (too much involvement from the state, which is not necessarily as bad as teaching kids to hate their own place).µ
From the very few I've seen, it's also too dense regarding the schedule, with is like a slave training and I expect it to be damaging for children, like leading to depression.
Although selection is nice, social disparity probably plays a role and poorer students most likely have to work twice as much as the others just like in many other places.
I don't think that the Chinese system provides the best basic education in the world, but it is incomparable to the one in France at the moment.
Well, the post is not well organized and a bit messy, so I hope it's still readable.
I have a question though; if a student fucks up at a moment during their cursus. Can be it be fixed and still end up with a good degree in the end?
Example: drop out at highschool and not oging to pass your gaokao; are you doomed or are there some stuff fromt he government to allow a kid or an adult to study back and go to, let's say, Tsinghua university?
I don't like it.Despite the government's promotion of dual burden reduction, many parents still bully their children to study. But even so, compared to some countries with more job pressure (such as South Korea), it is still humane.
Test-taking education may be a long time before it changes. And I don't think parents and schools judge a person's moral character by grades. However, exam-oriented education does improve the quality of citizens, and there are no thieves and robbers in China now.👍
The so-called education that Chinese have received since childhood only tells us how to face the exams, graduation... But it does not tell us how to face the future, how to do when we're confused, lonely, or contradictory in our life
The examination-oriented education system is relatively fair, and I think it can also select talents, but it lacks the education on how to become a real person.
Chinese students aren't lack of knowledge, but they're lack of education.

You write "basic" education? Is it a free and open minded basic education or more like "Chinese is the best country in the world - equal what other say its a fact!"
But before this leads to discussions again:
In Iran children are taught in primary school (!): Israel have to disappear from the world and death to all jews and in the U.S. children are taught you have to be proud of being an american and every child must memorize Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.

I can imagine that totally, because as far as I know the communism party of your country has the doctrine: "Don´t think about problems, the party will solute it!"
Who said the famous quote again:
"It's better to have one opinion and fewer problems than a billion opinions and lots of problems."

You're still overestimating those bureaucrats. In fact, it is "As long as the gov don't admit there is a problem, there is no problem."
lmao
