Should The Education System In China Be Reformed?

中国的教育制度是否应该改革

学习和教育是我们打开未来大门的钥匙，是我们获取美好未来的必备条件，正如俗话说的，活到老学到老，知识是无限的，我们必须在学习中才能学到新的知识。教育可以发展我们的潜在的能力，完成个人的知识系统和提高人们的素质，教育从小学到大学毕业也占据了一个人的很重要的一部分。

Learning and education is the key to one’s future and the gateway to our society separately(Antony). As the old sayings said, ‘Never too old to learn’ or ‘Knowledge is infinite’, it clearly states their importance and necessity in one’s life time. Education enables individuals to develope their potential capacity, complete construct knowledge and enhance personal quality. Since birth, a baby begins to learn to hear, talk, eat and everything around her through her parents; when at the age of 6 or even younger, they are sent to school to learn knowledge taught by teachers; from then on, their school lives begin until graduation from universities. Hence, school education really takes up a big proportion and plays an important role in a person’s whole lifetime. Then, taking an overview of different education systems all over the world, it presents a tendency of diversification, and each system has its own advantages and disadvantages. Meanwhile, China’s education system is a thing that is really worth pondering and studying carefully. Since reforming and opening up to the outside world, China’s education has made remarkable progress in its development; to this phenomenon, there may have an idea that education reform is not necessary. While we have to realize it still exists many disadvantages that needs to be solved urgently, which is connected to its current education situation. Therefore, China’s education system should be reformed deeply and reasonably.

本文认为中国的教育制度可以从三个方面进行改革，义务教育的普及，招生制度的完善，公考系统质量的提高。

Here can be the three aspects for the persons who consider Chinese education is good enough: the popularity of compulsory education, high quality of education and perfect admission system and public examinations system.

首先，中国的的义务教育一直在普及，由于在封建社会，人们不重视教育，只有很小一部分的人，在学校受教育，并且女性没有受教育的权利，但是现在这一切都变了。中国的沿海地区已经非常发达，但是在西部和山区，还处于比较落后的状态。

First, education in china has become all-pervading nowadays. In federal society, education was not thought highly of and only a small percentage of people were educated, not even women had the right to receive education. Now all these have changed and it spread every corner of the country. Everybody could have a chance to go to school. So is it the truth? Undoubtedly, it is definitely not. Comparatively speaking, the eastern part and coastal regions of china are well-developed, but not in the western part, such as Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan and some other places. The development of education is bond to national economy. So does the education status. Especially in the rural areas, a family with several children, ample food and clothing is the only thing they are care about, let alone to afford the fee for every child to go to school. However, in recent years, many pop stars started to concern about this problem, for example, in 2005, Jacky Chen once donated two million yuan gathered from sports car races to the children who could not go to school; Zhang ziyi bought a bracelet with a price 12,000 yuan in 2009, which was used to help the uneducated children. Of course, many other stars and some charity organizations were also joining in this team to help the children needed. All these facts can prove that education in china is not all-pervading, especially in the rural areas. Since the rural

population accounts for the vast majority of the country's population, while not all of the children has accepted compulsory education. Therefore, to develope vigorously and achieve a real sense of polularity in compulsory education should be completed. And it calls for the attention from the governments and the persons in charge.
