Education Status of China
Education Status of China
population for people 15 years or older in both sex is decreasing from 53.9 million in 2011 to
41.6 million in 2015, which is a good sign of having a lower illiterate rate in the future.
However, Female illiterate population (30.8million in 2015) is still higher than
male(10.8million). China need to realize the problem and try to provide equal education
opportunity to both gender.
When looking at the goal of Improve the quality of learning, I think China still have a
long way to go. The challenge to improve the quality education may be the shortage of qualifies
teachers. The shortage of teachers can be influenced by low salary and high working hours.
The picture above is showing a real life when students are preparing for GaoKao. The test
is intense and need more than one year to prepare (Ybanez, 2015).
