Higher Education In China

With the development of a progressive and civilized society, education becomes a greater priority. In separate countries, there are distinct differences in the systems and methods by which education is practiced. The Canadian secondary school educational system is different from the Chinese education system in four main areas: the subjects offered for study, requirements for graduation, the authority of the teachers and the physical aspects of the institutions.

In 1897, there was an average of 256 students in a private institution and 415 students in a public institution (Goldin et. al. 45). In comparison, the average amount of students in 1924 in a private institution increased to 755 students per institution and 2165 students per public institution (Goldin et. al. 45). Both private and public institutions benefited from the increase of higher education students. Public institutions in 1924 had five times the amount of students they had in 1897. Ten years later, private institutions had an average of 859 students, and public institutions had an average of 2790 students (Goldin et. al. 45). This shows that the dramatic increase that occurred from 1897 to 1924 continued in the following

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.

Higher education has become a staple of American society. With over 20 million students attending over 4,500 degree granting institutions, the role that higher education has played on larger society is paramount (Thelin, 2017). However, despite the popularity of higher education institutions, the exact purpose of higher education has changed from century to century and may serve different purposes depending on who is asked. Higher education today is arguably both a public and private good. While state and federal governments have invested in a variety of higher education initiatives, as well as assisted thousands of students with attending college through loans and scholarships in hopes that students use their acquired skills and

About century ago, the United States had the most educated workforce in the world, thanks to the movement that made high school free and available for everyone, but today many nations exceeded that level. According to “Education at a Glance” report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, U.S. college graduation rates rank 19th out of 28 countries studied by the OECD, twenty years ago the United States was first among OECD member countries, since that time more countries focus on increasing the number of college graduates; therefore, U.S. falls behind the competition (Weston.) This clearly indicates that the United States’ tertiary education needs a serious initiative like Obama’s plan to push up the college graduation

Perhaps there is nothing more imperative to the success of a nation today than the education of its people; developed education leads to innovation, an improved economy, and, possibly most importantly, a confidence from society about government. The rise of every great nation has been preceded by advancing education. Although education has been mostly examined from the perspective of higher education in the past, this lens fails to provide an adequate picture of the average citizen. Students now attend higher education at larger percentages than they did 50 years ago; nevertheless, the only mandatory education that a citizen receives is as a minor, under the age of 18. Developed nations

I am currently living in Centennial, CO. I attended Brigham Young University where I acquired my bachelor's degree in Chinese. I have lived and worked in China. I also was the president for the Chinese honor society while in high school. As president for the Chinese honor society, I put together weekly lessons to assist other students who wanted to learn the Chinese language.

With the growing percentage of college graduates, the C.C.P. is struggling to incorporate a large percentage of college graduates. Thus creating an increasing portion of society that is well educated, and dangerously frustrated:politically and socially. The number of college graduates in China continues to grow at an enormous rate, from 829,000 in 1997 to 5.3 million in 2009(Pei 37). The C.C.P. has only been able to hire an estimated 20% of the net increase in college graduates(Pei 37). As usual in one party states, party

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

The culture of China has deeply engrained commitment to learning its citizenry by placing high meaning on book learning and formal education than other civilizations. Education in china was placed as a path to government career since they were determined to bureaucratic appointment, a path to prestige and authority by eligible men of humble birth to rise to the top. This is unlike the US because leaders wished to develop well rounded citizens but there were others who advocated for more practical goals of learning modern science and technology to reform the country in countering western imperialism (Mohrman, Geng, & Wang, 2011). Attaining the status of a Professor one must sustain a distinguished track record of scholarly achievement within one university and academic discipline to be promoted from an associate professor. The position of professor is usually tenured but not for private and church affiliated institutions (BISO, 2010). The status of a professor is the highest of the standard academic ranks with advancement past the rank of professor involves administrative duties. There is no mandatory retirement age in this occupation and full professor in the US is around 55 years with only few people attains the position before attaining that age. Full professor earn on average 70% more than the associate professor in the same institution but those in private institutions earn less (Kim, 2012). Promotion of professors comes with increased administrative responsibilities

There have been a lot of educational reforms over the years in which it can be traced as far back as far as the Shang Dynasty. Education is necessary as it lead to wealth and success, so it was and still is important to the Chinese people, in the past and now. Which is a similarity, education has always been valued by the people. There was a plan to reform to increase public education and rebuild the society. In 1911, the difference was that the government was completely forsaken towards the traditional way of education. Historically, there was a pattern to divide china and the educational system between private and official, in which there was a purpose to train students to be better.

Unemployment is a condition of involuntary or forced idleness, which on the one hand hinders effective demand for agricultural and industrial products, and on the other paves the way for anti-social activities. It indicates a situation wherein all human resources which should have been geared to maximise the natural production are not being utilised. Such a situation results in far-reaching consequences. It makes the measures to increase production and renders the rights of labour unsafe. It is a criminal waste of pro¬ductive power. Though it is a

The differences between the Chinese education and the American education are more obvious in people’s mind, not only to the international students, but also to the native students and some people who study on this. As more and more Chinese students come to America to have better education, we should think about why the American education system is better and how could we change our system to have a new education system in China. These differences have some deeply reason, like the American is the nation which loves freedom. It took long time to make such a big difference between the two education systems, and we need longer time to change it. An undeniable

The limited number of existing universities is exceeded by applications, causing competition. This competitiveness causes pressure on both students and parents. As a consequence, most of students in China prepare this examination at an early age (Davey & Higgins, 2007).

The success of higher education is measured in olden days by determining the level of knowledge and skills the students gained during that period. But as time progress, the phenomena of globalization and large quantity of job creation in Information Technology industries changed the scenario in such a way that new model of higher education is seen which consists of providing campus placement as a final part of their higher education service. Recently, providing campus placement to successful students is considered as institutional obligation and institutions are ranked based on number of successful job placement provided in the campus for a given
