Chinese standardized education is based on strict rules and fierce competition, with a focus on standardized exams. This system has led many students to study abroad due to concerns about its sustainability.

In our series of blog exploring international education, I am going to start by dogging into core of Chinese standardized education and impact around the world. Join me today as we together to unravel the complexity of the subject and draw some circle poking. Conclusion circle round, you wouldn't want to miss this. In today's program, we will first understand an overview of Chinese standardized education. From a historical perspective, the most important standardized examination in Chinese education system is actually a continuation of the ancient imperial examination system. This education culture is based on strict standardized, fierce competition and an emphasis on rules. There have been correspondence of the culture's academic systems. However, this have also led a huge number of the students learn abroad. With many questions when the system is sustainable in rapidly changing the world, we will explore the challenge inherent in Chinese education culture and the factors that drive a student to study abroad. Concluding with the discussion of the system's transformative potential and its relevance to global education models. From the culture perspective, Chinese Confucianism has always been the core pillar of Chinese culture. The emphasis on respecting teacher and respecting discipline under Confucian culture has resulted in students being restrictive in their corrective and interesting. The entire educational course is grazing towards face the college entrance examination. Often referred to as the most challenged exam in the world, the college entrance examination is a high-tech two-day exam that determines a student's eligibility for college and is seen as a ticket to a brighter future. However, the intense pressure of the college entrance exam and the singular-focused standardized test has been widely criticized. The exam systems put enormous pressure on students who often spend years preparing for exams at the experience of development-wide skills or pursuing their passions. This cathode temptation stifles creativity and innovation and overlook a holistic approach to education in order to cope with the challenge posed by Chinese education systems. More and more students choose to study abroad. That trend is driven by a variety of factors, including the desire of the more well-provided education, greater opportunity for creative and critical thinking, and exposure to diverse perspectives. Of course, there are many other reasons, such as what to appreciate the culture of different countries and so on. Now that we have some background knowledge and move on to the next section, let's take a moment to think about the pros and cons of standardized testing. In the context of Chinese education systems, standardized examinations play a prominent role and have the obvious advantages and disadvantages. Strengths include their ability to provide clear and measurable assessment systems for the broad range of the students. In China, exams like the Gaokao are a key factor in university admission, enable a fair and standardized situation mode. This test mission maintains consistency by establishing academic ability gives some children from poor backage but had working students level play for to achieve. Additionally, they encourage and regulate starting habits and create a competitive environment that encourages hard work and discipline. However, China's emphasis on standardized testing also has the flares. Excessive focus on test scores, often linked to rote learning, detriment critical thinking, creative and development of the practical skills, the singular focus can lead to under stress and mental health issues in students. I have many examples in life of such pressure like people, parents often have the high expectations for their children. Many children are given expectations in their names. Here is a print of information. Amongst the people named Li in China alone, there are 22,809 people named Li Qinghua and 21 people named Li Beijing University. This means their parents have wanted them to enter the two best schools in China since they were born. The second is parent social environment. Today, college entrance examination is regarded by many students as too important to the point of being test magic. Some time ago, I saw in news a school classroom with a slogan, life can reincarnate, and the college entrance examination is only once. And a famous discussion topic on Weibo last year, that is you are a mother suffering from cancer. Cancer, should you tell your children the news when he is about to take the college entrance examination? The reaction of many Chinese people include myself was to tell the children would affect their college entrance examination. At that moment, I was dazed. It turned out that in my subconscious mind, the college entrance examination had surpassed the importance of family ties. I think that is the strategy of the education system. Therefore, some students who feel depressed under such a system will choose to study in other countries. In China, education landscape, well-standardized tests, simplified assessment, and proven fair assessment heavily relies on their kind of more comprehensive and holistic approach to education, technological, broader skills development, and individual potential. In summary, well-standardized education system has its advantage in providing a fair assessment. From work, there are also significant shortcomings in plans and too much inferences and explanations. As we grow up with the complexities of the global education, a balance must be maintained that values not only academic achievement but also academic achievement also fosters creativity, crafty thinking, and personal grace.
