Chinese primary education

By Gus.Liu

Chinese primary education has developed very fast in the recent 20 years .The Chinese primary school is very big ,many teaches and students in a school .The is a big playground and many big computer rooms in each school ,some of them have small theatres ,students can often play programs on the theatres .Primary school students are from 6 years old to 12 years old .there are about 40 students in a class, a grade has 4 classes at least .Primary education is free in China.

Chinese primary education is very strict,all the students have to learn many subjects, for example :maths ,Chinese, science,music,art,society and so on,different subjects have different teachers .All students have homework almost every day.so I think they are too busy.At the end of the semester they have a test ,the test achiements are sent to their parents by the teachers .When they graduate from the primary school they must pass the governments’test.

I think Chinese primary students’maths average level is better than many other countries,but their creativity and manipulation are poorer than many other countries,so I hope China communicates with westen countries more and more,it must benefit each other.
