Chinese students are known worldwide for their accomplishment and ambition, and while education is profoundly valued in China, it has a complicated history. Intellectuals were persecuted during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and only recently has a college education been accessible to a majority of students. China’s higher-education system is now the largest in the world, and the number of Chinese students in the United States is growing at twenty-five percent annually. New efforts focus on collaboration with Western scholars and on providing better education to rural students. This Berkshire Essentials volume, Education in China, includes contributions by international experts in the field of Chinese education and provides unique coverage of learning at all levels.
