Explore 75 years of China’s progress in education with William Brown
Description
China’s education system has seen remarkable transformation over the past seven decades. Official data reveals that the average years of schooling for Chinese people has surged to 11 years, a significant jump from just 1.6 years back in 1949.
So, how did China manage to build the world’s largest education system? What key reforms have helped this populous nation shift from quantity to quality in terms of human resources? And now, as socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, how should the country tackle challenges, such as the gap between people’s increasing demand for quality education and its unbalanced development?
Host Xu Yawen talks to William Brown, professor at Xiamen University, on the fourth episode of our special series commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
