173 1 I won't study American education. Let's talk about the difference between American education and China education. First, the system is different. Education in China pursues fair competition, while education in the United States is obviously stratified. Education in China is unified throughout the country, while education in the United States is divided into elites and civilians. The Chinese-style education system, like the imperial examination system developed in ancient China (for example, the eight-part essay in the Ming Dynasty), has a unified evaluation standard, format and answer, so the competition in the college entrance examination can be said to be extremely fair. The bottom can counterattack, and the cold door is famous. Although the class solidification is becoming more and more obvious now, there is still a chance to change your destiny through the college entrance examination (such as the "Phoenix Man" discussed all over the world). The education system in the United States is a bit like China's Jiupin Zheng Zhi system in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, in which the elite train their children according to the elite model and the civilian class train their children according to the civilian model. The influence of family status on children's future is even greater than ours.
Second, the degree of diversification is different. China education only emphasizes knowledge and brain power, while American education encourages art and physical fitness. For example, Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American who grew up under the American education system, can enter the Ivy League with his basketball skills just like white or black people. However, in China, the relationship between athletes' training and top universities is quite scattered. This seems to have a negative impact on the development of China teenagers' physical quality and artistic quality.
Third, the strategic focus is different. Due to the requirements of industrialization, China's education strategically focuses on science and engineering that can be quickly transformed into productive forces, while American education pursues diversification. Therefore, Chinese-style education has produced a large number of outstanding talents in science and engineering, which greatly promoted the development of basic industries and science and technology; It is undeniable that the overall quality of liberal arts talents trained by American education seems to be higher, and American education is indeed more conducive to encouraging innovation. I'm afraid that China education is a repressive attitude towards Jobs-like paranoid personality as a whole.
These are the three major differences between Chinese and American education. I think, at least from the perspective of adapting to the international situation in the next decade, China's education is a strategic advantage.
