Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The ABCs of Chinese education
In China, all children must attend six years in primary school and following three years in junior high school. In 2018, there are a little over 100 million students in 162,000 elementary schools and 46 million students in 52,000 junior-high schools respectively. Then most of them, nearly 40 million students or 90% of children, attend senior high school. There are a little over 24,000 senior high schools across the country. As a result, China’s literacy rate is over 96%, one of the highest in the world.
But they don’t stop just there. Around 60% of senior high school graduates now go to one of 2,663 universities or colleges. Every year, those who wish to go to university take the national college entrance exams, called Gaokao in June. Nearly 10 million students took the test this year. It is not simple to get passed the exam. Reports show that only 60 percent of the exam takers are able to make it to any university of which only a very few students make it to the prestigious universities.
Competition is very serious in the world’s most populous nation.
Enjoy reading and learn about China’s education system by numbers.
