Introduction Education has become such an important foundation for people all around the world. Education differs from country to country. Education is very unique, education in the United States is not the same as it is in China. How can one explore their differences? Well, one can explore the importance of education, the education systems, higher education and the financial costs of education in both the United States and China.
Importance of Education
People all around the world attend school. Most countries have their children begin at a young age, at about five years old. According to the United States census, “In 2011, 83 million people aged three and over that the ACS recorded as enrolled in school” (J. Davis, K. Bauman 2013 p. 2).

In recent years it has become imperative that one attend school because as technology and society evolves, it becomes more and more essential. Education is the key to more successful and stable future. It is very difficult to obtain a high paying job without any kind of education or schooling. Some jobs allow their employees without higher education to attend training to better prepare them for their job. Education is a necessary foundation to success and improvement. Education is an essential, but education differs and varies throughout the world. In China and the United different traditions and customs are applied to educate their citizens. How different are their education systems, their higher learning, and their cost of education? To explain their differences their similarities also need to be addressed.
Education System in the United States In the United States the basic academic year for a student begins in August or September and ends in May or June. In the United States, students begin their education at about age five when they are obligated to attend Kindergarten; parents may choose so send their children to pre-school which is a nursery school made for children who are too young for kindergarten, but it is not mandatory. After a child attends kindergarten they begin to attend elementary school which is typically between first and fifth grade. They then proceed
Despite the many differences in Canada’s and China’s education systems, there are a few similarities between them. In both countries, it is mandatory for children to receive a a certain amount of education. Chinese children must get at least nine years of schooling, which is funded by the government. On the other hand, Canadian children must get education up to the age of sixteen (ages may vary between various provinces.) The subjects taught in both countries are also alike. Mathematics, history, and fine arts are some examples of the shared subjects.
Primary schools cater for children aged 4-11. While at primary school, children start with the Early Years (Foundation) curriculum, followed by Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum.
3-7 years--- As children become interest in cooperative play and interest in other children with the odd squabble and argument, they choose friends and responding to adult praise and recognition. Most children starts school at the age of 4, so this is a difficult transition.
Education is important and plays a vital role in everyday life. Educating begins at birth. The demand for a higher education today is under demand and is always increasing. Self-improvement, endless job opportunities, and character development are all
Children normally start primary school at the age of four or five, but many schools now have a reception year for four year olds. Children normally leave at the age of 11, moving on to secondary school. Most state schools admit both boys and girls, though some are single-sex.
A country’s economic system decides its education system. Since China and Canada have different economic systems, China is developing on a diversified ownership economy, while Canada is running its economy by pure capitalism. It is obvious two different education systems run in those two countries respectively. And from my personal experience and some hearing from my friends, I found five main disadvantages of China’s education comparing with Canada’s education.
with their friends. Both Americans and the Chinese value education and feel that education is
First of all, the Finish government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool, which comes after kindergarten. Compulsory education begins at 7. Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. They have little homework to do when they get home. When teachers are
The question of education is significant for each child on earth. But e.g. for people from industrial nations, education is one of the most normal issues on the planet, we underestimate the chance of learning. In any case, education is
They will go to school based on ability and how smart they are, not based on their age. The only homework they get is the assignments they didn’t finish in class. There are several teachers. Middle schoolers and high schoolers will get five teachers for different subjects per grade. There is also a payment to go to school. Parents will have to pay $50 for their children in elementary school, $75 for children in middle school, and $100 for their high schoolers a year. They will go to school all year round, but then will have breaks. Kids and teens will go to school for a month then have two weeks
In the American schooling system, children begin primary school around the age of six, this is called elementary school and most students stay there for five to six years before they go on to secondary school which involves middle school and high school. After graduating high school some students may go on to “higher education” known as college, but any schooling done after high school is no longer mandatory.
Through the child’s life they slowly grow up from an infant to toddler. Then they start their education in a pre-school or go straight to elementary. Soon they complete elementary and middle school and enter
Each country has its own kind of education, and education always plays an important role in affecting students’ life and study on many aspects. Having received ten years of education in China and two years of education in the U.S. I would like to compare and contrast a few significant aspects of these two different kinds of educations. Knowing that no two education systems are the same, the differences between American education and Chinese education allow countries to take the essence and discard the dross through learning from each other so as to improve their own current education systems.
"Education is the key to success," a simple quotation that contains a powerful message that success is achievable through expanding our minds with knowledge, skills, and experience. Education comes in different forms like a book, the internet and not only limited to the four corners of a classroom that teaches us about our history, works of art, science and technology. Having a good education will not only teaches us to read and write or solve a complicated mathematical equation that only Einstein can solve. A higher level of education like colleges and universities prepare us to be intellectually and socially ready for our career and personal life. As a college student
The differences that exist between the Chinese and American education systems are great and obvious. However, some of these differences don’t play to the strengths of the representative country. American schools allow for greater freedom of movement and choice, while Chinese schools decide the “what”, “where”, and “how” of educational circumstance for the students (Bush, tony, and Qiang Haiyan). These differences in structure should lead to a greater educational standard being held by China, but that isn’t always the case. This paper will examine the differences in education system in the two countries and show that the Chinese system, while
