More and more chinese families consider sending kids oversea for better educatio
According a post I just read from Internet, more and more Chinese family would consider sending their children oversea for better education.
As we all know, education in China faces a lot of problems, like funding shortages, brainwashing, dominating and constrained way of teaching, disparities between urban and rural regions, and the limitations for children of migrant laborers .
According to the investigation, four out of five of Chinese young billionaires would consider sending their children overseas for better education. The number of Chinese undergraduates in the US has climbed 50% to 40,000, more than four times of the 2005 number.
One reason for this kind of situation is that wealth is climbing up in China , making overseas education more attainable for more and more families.
Yet the money is not the only reason, many parents are worrying about the quality of Chinese education . Education system in China terribly relies on rote memorization and rigid testing , therefore, the Chinese students are not trained with analytical and creative thinking .
Many companies complain about Chinese university graduates: They cannot work independently, lack of social skills to work with a team, and they are too arrogant to learn new skills.
The quality of Chinese education is not only a problem for the elites, but also for ordinary families. Many parents who live in the city are immigrants from their home town. Their kids cannot get educated in the school of the city if they don’t have the city’s residence permit(HUKOU). Even if their kids can, the kids have to get back to their parents’ home town to take the college entrance exam due to Chinese HUKOU policy .
Another consideration for the ordinary families who consider sending their kids overseas for better education is that after their kids are graduated, their kids would have a good chance to migrant to the country for better living environment, better freedom, democracy and human rights.
They don’t need to worry about the food quality, environment pollution and the corruption of dictatorial government.
Above all, the reasons for parents sending their kids overseas for better education are mainly because:
1. Chinese wealth grows.
2. For better quality of education.
3. The good chance to migrant
Now if you have the opportunity to send your kids overseas for their education, what will you do?
