Abstract
The
National
College
Entrance
Examination
(NCEE)
dictates
how
almost
every
facet
of
China's
educational
system
is
administered
. As
early
as
primary
school
,
students
are
forced
to
become
locked
in
intense
competition
,
battle
hordes
of
examinations
,
cope
with
insufferable
pressure
, and
abandon
childhood
.
Inequity
between
urban
and
rural
education
is
spiraling
out
of
control
.
Cries
for
change
to a
more
"
quality
education
" that will
relieve
the
students
'
burden
are in the
air
, but they are
being
met
with
fierce
resistance
by those
who
claim
NCEE
meritocracy
provides
their
only
hope
.
Literature
from
leading
experts
and
reformers
,
government
reports
,
popular
media
,
scholarly
articles
, and
personal
teaching
experience
in
China
have
all
been
utilized
to
attain
a
comprehensive
understanding
of the
issues
.
Many
people
are
cognizant
of the
serious
problems
facing
China's
educational
system
, but
very
few
seem
able
to
describe
how they
can
be
resolved
. This
paper
will
set-up
and
bring-down
the
most
difficult
and
unsolvable
problems
of
Chinese
education
.
New
and
original
ideas
are
going
to be
injected
to
replace
the
shortsighted
and
misguided
suggestions
currently
proffered
, and these
ideas
will
explain
exactly
how
China
can
create
an
educational
system
that will
benefit
all
students
equally
. The
key
lies
in
secondary
education
and
reformation
of the
NCEE
system
. If
my
proposals
for
changing
those
two
crucial
features
of
Chinese
education
are
implemented
,
every
student
who
sets
foot
in a
classroom
will
benefit
.
