China Education System

Improved Essays

Although all the education systems are created to fulfill the needs of current societies, the outcomes of education can be quite different due to culture and economy difference. Therefore, when we talk about education systems, we should identify them through analyzing what outcomes reflect the goals the education system.

The motto of COA displayed on campus and the official website- “Transform Your Tomorrow” indicates its core idea of emphasizing on the possibilities of every individual. This makes the school not have too many requirements to students from itself, instead, it tends to guide students to find out our own expectations and potentials. Thus, I can feel a more friendly and comfortable relationship between students and staffs here. Most instructors deliver knowledge step by step and giving diverse instructions, tutoring service to different level students. To give students enough time and hope to improve ourselves, most instructors evaluate outcome through multiple strategies: attendance, in-class assignments, homework quiz, essay, tests, and even extra credits. Under this kind of philosophy, students are willing to communicate with staffs and seeking help from tutoring, instead of completely independent studying. Hence the environment in COA makes me feel relaxed because there isn’t obvious competition here since the school is focusing on encouraging students to improve ourselves, not winning a competition to be outstanding. This environment gives students more encouragements but also pushes students less to dig our

He shares that instead of more reading, writing and arithmetic there should be classes about drugs, real sex education, scams, religious cults, police brutality, class apathy, racism in America, why people are hungry, he continues and states that the things that helped him are things he learned from his mother and off the streets (www.desteni-money.net, 1988).

    This could be due to the fact that education itself provides a necessary set of skills to be successful economically, or the fact that individuals who actively pursue education are naturally more motivated to pursue careers that provide greater economic benefits. Nonetheless, throughout China there is a drastic difference between the education of the rural/inland citizens and that of the urban/coastal individuals. “In China, education tends to be higher in urban areas than in rural areas and higher in coastal, more developed regions than in inland, less developed regions” (Xie and Zhou, 4). Ultimately, throughout China’s history “education inequality” – be it due to gender, ethnic, or geographical differences – has been a major problem, and thus, contributed to the ever more prominent economic divide. Low economic mobility within China – a potential result of the complex, bureaucratic nature of the government and its policies – has become even more stagnant as…

    Reflection On “Lottery: Winning an Education” Education is a very important part in people’s lives because it could help us achieve our goals of career and change our lives. The movie, “Lottery: Winning an Education,” has stirred up my thinking of the education system from K to 12 grades in the United States. Although the United States has long been a favorite place for many domestic and oversea students to pursue their dreams of higher education in many prestigious colleges, such as Harvard University, Princeton University, and Columbia University to name a few, the education system from K to 12 grades in the U.S. seems to struggle for a solution that could help all students do well in school and set a firm foundation for their higher education.…

    Public School Flaws “83% of Californians consider the quality of education to be at least somewhat of a problem for California schools” (Tatum).Education has always been an important aspect in society and is always trying to be improved, but in reality the quality of education in California is failing our students. Most of the problems are not based on the schools themselves, but on the amount of limited funding that schools are supplied. Trying to become an elementary teacher, I have realized that there are many problems within the school systems and in my opinion it should be changed. The question is how do we change the system to improve it instead of making it worst? Right now there is a huge focus on higher education, but the lack of quality in elementary schools is leading students to either drop out of high school, or just finish their education with a high school diploma.…
