Study in China

Anyone who studies the 30-year development of China's education is likely to be surprised by its stunning scale and remarkable pace. An open, inclusive, and vigorous society is the prerequisite that ensures the accelerated growth of an education system. During the last three decades, education has transformed the nation and Chinese society.

Over 14 million teachers in more than 520 thousand schools dedicate and devote themselves to education and to their 257 million students. There can be no doubt that this is the key step in the process of changing China from just a country with a big population into a country rich in human resources. Nor can it be ignored that China's education system is the largest in the world, and the pace of development of its 30-year education undertaking is the fastest in history.

In a span of thirty years, China's education system has transformed from being accessible to only the wealthy to now being available to all. For instance, the higher education attendance rate in the 1980s was less than 4%. In 2002, the figure had reached 15%, an internationally recognized mark that signaled a new stage of China's education development: mass education. By 2013 the rate had soared to 35% [People’s Daily].

With an abundance of renowned colleges and universities, China's educational system has produced some of the world's most brilliant minds of nearly every discipline. World leaders in Business, Mathematics, Astronomy, Martial Arts, Philosophy and more have studied in China, and make this a coveted location to study abroad.

China is vast and hugely populated, with over 20% of the world's population calling this lively country home. Some areas of China will astound you with colorful rural beauty and traditional lifestyles, while the major metropolitan areas are likely to make your head spin with their bright lights and city excitement.

Go to school here and learn about China's influential, artistic and political culture, as well as its mixture of dense urban areas and rural farming villages. You can also be a part of the country's vivid transformation from third- to first-world. There's no better time to take part in the boundless educational opportunities that China provides [Study Abroad].
