Education System
In China the law stipulates that each child must have nine years of formal education.Students are required to complete primary and junior middle school education. Thereafter, students who pass the appropriate entrance examinations go on to senior middle schools or middle-level vocational schools.
They may then take the national entrance exam which gives access to higher education. However, getting into university is highly competitive. Higher education is offered in universities, colleges, institutes, and vocational colleges and includes Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees.
Besides regular higher education, China also provides adult higher education, which grants a second opportunity to those who missed their chance at regular higher education in their youth.
