Education in China
- 9 Years of mandatory education = completed jr high school, but high school not required
- one claim: 99.7 percent of the population area of the country has achieved universal nine-year basic education.
- By 1986 universal secondary education was part of the nine-year compulsory education law that made primary education (six years) and junior-middle-school education (three years) mandatory.
- another: 80 percent attendence rate for both primary and middle schools
- school year: Kids in China attend school 41 days a year more than students in the U.S.
- Students in China, where schools give 30% more hours of instruction than in the U.S.,
- After middle school, parents must pay for public high school though the majority of families in cities can afford the modest fees.
OECD apparently says 65% of China graduate High School vs 76 USA, 95 Finland
- key schools like examination schools in USA
- High schools can cost as much as $22,000 / yr for US or UK based curriculum
..Key schools
Key schools[edit]
"Key schools," shut down during the Cultural Revolution, reappeared in the late 1970s and, in the early 1980s, became an integral part of the effort to revive the lapsed education system. Because educational resources were scarce, selected ("key") institutions - usually those with records of past educational accomplishment - were given priority in the assignment of teachers, equipment, and funds. They also were allowed to recruit the best students for special training to compete for admission to top schools at the next level. Key schools constituted only a small percentage of all regular senior middle schools and funneled the best students into the best secondary schools, largely on the basis of entrance scores. In 1980 the greatest resources were allocated to the key schools that would produce the greatest number of college entrants.
In early 1987 efforts had begun to develop the key school from a
preparatory school into a vehicle for diffusing improved curricula, materials, and teaching practices to local schools. Moreover, the appropriateness of a key school's role in the nine-year basic education plan was questioned by some officials because key schools favored urban areas and the children of more affluent and better educated parents. In 1985 entrance examinations and the key-school system had already been abolished in
Changchun,
Shenyang,
Shenzhen,
Xiamen, and other cities, and education departments in
Shanghai and
Tianjin were moving to establish a student recommendation system and eliminate key schools. In 1986 the Shanghai Educational Bureau abolished the key junior-middle-school system to ensure "an overall level of education." Despite the effort to abolish the "Key Schools" system, the practice still exists today under other names, and education inequality is still being widely criticized by some government officials and scholars.

The Ministry of Education reported a 99 percent attendance rate for primary school ....by 2020, of every 100,000 people, 13,500 will have had junior college education or ...Chinese students from Shanghai achieved the best results in mathematics, ...... Fewer than 15 percent of the earliest arrivals were degree candidates.
Education in China is a state-run system of public education run by the Ministry of Education. All citizens must attend school for at least nine years. The government providesprimary education for six to nine years, starting at age six or seven, followed by six years of secondary education for ages 12 to 18.[clarification needed] Some provinces may have five years of primary school but four years for middle school. There are three years of middle school and three years of high school. The Ministry of Education reported a 99 percent attendance rate for primary school and an 80 percent rate for both primary and middle schools.[citation needed] In 1985, the government abolished tax-funded higher education, requiring university applicants to compete for scholarships based on academic ability. In the early 1980s the government allowed the establishment of the first private school, increasing the number of undergraduates and people who holddoctoral degrees fivefold from 1995 to 2005.[4] In 2003 China supported 1,552 institutions of higher learning (colleges and universities) and their 725,000 professors and 11 million students (see List of universities in China). There are over 100 National Key Universities, including Peking University andTsinghua University. Chinese spending has grown by 20% per year since 1999, now reaching over $100bn, and as many as 1.5 million science and engineering students graduated from Chinese universities in 2006. China published 184,080 papers as of 2008.[5] China has also became a top destination for international students.[6] As of 2013, China is the most popular country in Asia for international students, and ranks third overall among countries.[6]

http://www.chinaeducenter.com/en/cedu.php
China education is the largest education system in the world. On June 2013, there were 9.12 million students taking the National Higher Education Entrance Examination (Gao Kao) in China. Investment in education accounts for about 4% of total GDP in China. In 1986, the Chinese government passed a compulsory education law, making nine years of education mandatory for all Chinese children. Today, the Ministry of Education estimates that 99.7 percent of the population area of the country has achieved universal nine-year basic education.

Mar 20, 2010 - Kids in China already attend school 41 days a year more than students in the U.S.
Saturday classes are the norm in Korea and other Asian countries—and Japanese authorities are having second thoughts about their 1998 decision to cease Saturday-morning instruction. This additional time spent learning is one big reason that youngsters from many Asian nations routinely out-score their American counterparts on international tests of science and math.
How Many Days a Week Do the Chinese Go to School?
In some areas Chinese students go to school six days a week. Their day is also much longer with a two hour break for lunch, and dinner. They go back to school.
Because China is in the northern hemisphere, its summer months are in line with Asia, Europe, and North America. The school year in China typically runs from the beginning of September to mid-July. Summer vacation is generally spent in summer classes or studying for entrance exams. The average school day runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a two-hour lunch break. Formal education in China lasts for nine years. China provides all students with uniforms, but does not require they be. There are about 21 students in each classroom. All Chinese students study from textbooks that emphasize China’s unity, past and present accomplishments, and its future. Students in China also have great access to computer technology, with a computer to student ratio of 1:2. Chinese language and math skills are tested at the end of each year. Math is typically taught by drill, which means students are repeatedly taught the basics of math until they are able to demonstrate comprehension. Education in China since the turn of the 21st century has been undergoing reform, with curriculum being redesigned to emphasize group activities and other methods believed to foster creativity and innovation.
After middle school, parents must pay for public high school though the majority of families in cities can afford the modest fees. In rural parts of China, many students stop their education at age 15.
Chinese students attend classes five or six days a week from early morning (about 7am) to early evening (4pm or later). On Saturdays, many schools hold required morning classes in science and math. Many students also attend 補習班 (buxiban), or cram school, in the evening and on weekends. Much like tutoring in the West, these schools offer additional Chinese, English, science and math classes and one-on-one tutoring.

Finland and Korea are the highest-performing OECD countries, with average PISA scores of 543 and 541 points, respectively. Other top-performing OECD countries in students’ skills include Japan (529), Canada (527) and New Zealand (524). The lowest performing OECD country, Mexico, has an average score of 420. This means that the gap between the highest and lowest performing OECD countries is 123 points. The gap with Brazil is even larger, with 142 points separating the averageperformance of Brazil and Finland.

CCP China is far, far behind. It appears on none of the top lists. It's equals are impoverished African nations in this analysis.
