Chinese education is largely theoretical education, and students acquire knowledge mainly through textbooks. Prof. Yang Fujia, former president of Fudan University and current chancellor of the University of Nottingham mentioned the differences between Chinese and Western education many times in his speeches and works. Traditional Chinese basic education has a history of more than 1,000 years. "One of its advantages is that students can acquire knowledge in a systematic manner. Regrettably, the basic education focuses too much on passing on knowledge," Yang said.
In fact, China called for "fully promoting quality education" as early as 1999. However, the development of quality education has been extremely slow, and examination-oriented education remains predominant in the country.
The primary school student questioned traditional Chinese education in his article. Experts noted that creativity on the basis of curiosity and interest should not be overlooked again, and children's good character and comprehensive development is much more important than high scores. Outdated education methods and ideas should be eliminated as soon as possible.
