Primary school student questions China's education system

The rigid education system has produced many students with high scores, but will these "obedient" students meet the needs of future development?

Chinese prestigious universities have great zeal for the "champions" of the national college entrance examination, but their U.S. counterparts seem to have no preference for these "champions." Statistics showed that about 60 percent of Chinese "champions" of the national college entrance examination were turned down by Harvard University in 2010.

Unlike Eastern education, the Western education system focuses on cultivating students' horizons, creativity, adaptability, independence, and practical ability, and is aimed at helping them develop good character. A 12-year-old Chinese boy who studied in a primary school in New Zealand for three years told the reporter that primary school students there have almost no homework, and the teachers often hold various activities such as plays to cultivate students' interest in learning and practical ability.
