Pre-school education usually covers a period of three years starting from 5 years old. Playing games is the central activity , which is a combination of education and conservation and mainly introduces kids to a school-like or classroom-like environment.

Elemantary education
Most children go to elementary school at the age of eight and it lasts six years. During elementary stage, math and Chinese are the most important with some other subjects, such as science, PE, music and art.

In China, it is also called “ nine-year free compulsory education” which includes schooling from elementary school education to junior middle school education.
Three characteristics of compulsory education
• compulsion: must and should
• public welfare: two exemptions and one supplement

Teaching Philosophy
We guide and push students to get and know out of classroom what they are supposed to get and know, namely, ”whats”.
We try hard to inspire a sense of wonderment in the world around us, namely, ”whys”.
We try harder to encourage students to solve problems using these basic scholastic knowledge and develop kind of critical thinking by setting up certain learning workshops, namely, ”hows”.

Curriculum
Chinese teachers are expected to follow a national curriculum.
Chinese students are expected to master a body of knowledge
by demonstrating on exams some familiarity with these facts,
terms, and concepts studied in the course.

Development and Achievement
Since 1986 when China started to carry out nine-year compulsory education , it has made an astonished achievement by popularizing the compulsory education during the past 30 years.
By 2008, most students in both rural and urban areas can enjoy free compulsory education.

Twelve-year compulsory education
“Twelve-year compulsory education” was proposed ， which claimed that senior high school education or pre-school education should be included in the compulsory education. Now, some developed coastal areas has began to try out twelve-year compulsory education in China, but it has not been popularized widely yet.

SHS can be classified into public high schools , nongovernmental senior high schools, and technical schools.
Copyright ©2006 NENU
In public senior high schools, which covers 3 years, students take Chinese, math, English, history, geography, physics , biology, chemistry, PE, drawing and music. Teaching materials can be classified into required courses and elective courses and students can be divided into liberal arts and science students. There are examinations every other month. And in the 6th semester, students can choose to take the well-known national college entrance examination (NCEE) , and the marks from NCEE will decide which university students are allowed to enter. There is a hierarchy among these courses. Those to be tested in NCEE belong to the first rank, with the others the secondary.

The pinnacle of SHS is to prepare students for NCEE.
Such system is based on linearity.
Our central government has tried a lot to reform this situation, but so far , the outcome is limited.

I am supervised by Lotte on Efterskole project. So far I have been 6 Dannish Efterskoles, observing various classes, joining the discussion group there, talking with students and teachers, eating and playing with them. Last week, I took part in the board meeting of Efterskole and delivered a speech at the meeting on my impression on Efterskoles.
Efterskole experience is an educational shock to me and kind of insight I have never thought about before.
