<\/p>\nIn China, the education\u00a0is divided\u00a0into three categories: basic education, higher education, and adult education. By law, each child\u00a0must have nine years of compulsory education from primary school (six years) to junior secondary education (three years).<\/p>\n
Basic education in China includes pre-school education (usually three\u00a0years), primary education (six\u00a0years, usually starting at the age of six) and secondary education (six\u00a0years).<\/p>\n
Secondary education has two routes: academic secondary education and specialized\/vocational\/technical secondary education. Academic secondary education consists of junior (three\u00a0years) and senior middle schools (three\u00a0years). Junior middle school graduates wishing to continue their education take a locally administered entrance exam, on the basis of which they will have the option of i) continuing in an academic senior middle school; or ii) entering a vocational middle school (or leave school at this point) to receive two to four years of training. Senior middle school graduates wishing to go to universities must take National Higher Education Entrance Exam (Gao Kao). According to the Chinese Ministry of Education, in June 2015, 9.42 million students took the exam.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Higher education is further divided into two categories: 1) universities that offer four-year or five-year undergraduate degrees to award academic degree qualifications; and 2) colleges that offer three-year diploma or certificate courses on both academic and vocational subjects. \u00a0Postgraduate and doctoral programmes are only offered at universities.<\/p>\n
The adult education ranges from primary education to higher education. For example, adult primary education includes Workers\u2019 Primary Schools, Peasants\u2019 Primary Schools in an effort to raise literacy level in remote areas; adult secondary education includes specialized secondary schools for adults; and adult higher education includes traditional radio\/TV universities (now online), most of which offer certificates\/diplomas but a few offer regular undergraduate degrees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
