The concept is that every student becomes a significant person in society and achieves all the benefits in life. Therefore, from childhood, every citizen of the PRC knows what intensive study of the material is, is able to steadfastly endure nine lessons every day and spends free time studying books in the library.
And all this is accompanied by iron discipline: for 12 absences, a student will be expelled, for drinking alcohol within the walls of the educational institution – expulsion with a reprimand and significant difficulties in entering other schools.
Due to the high workload and iron discipline, there are also quiet hours in schools. After lunch, students have 60-80 minutes to rest and recover. At the same time, before going to rest, children study the exact sciences, and after quiet hours they are engaged in creativity.
Education system in China
The modern Chinese education system is familiar to any European and differs little from what we are used to.
From three to six years old, children receive preschool education in kindergartens. At this age, strict discipline begins to be taught.
The child spends the next six years in primary school. There, he or she receives basic knowledge about the world and society and tries himself or herself out as a worker for the first time.
Another three years are spent in secondary school. At this stage, children delve into the exact sciences, study politics, computer science, and foreign languages. After finishing secondary school, students are considered to be sufficiently well-versed not to go to high school, but to receive secondary vocational education and go to work.
The last three years of school are high school. There, children are prepared for university.
