Lessons Learned (Albeit with a Caveat)

A Lesson Learned Much Can Be Accomplished When a Country is Clear About its Goals & Vision for Education  Mathematics  Science  Foreign Language

A Lesson Learned High Expectations Begin at Elementary Level  High Expectations  Achievement Honored  Rigor Early – Math, Science

A Lesson Learned Cultural Difference Evident  Obesity, Exercise, Regimen  Large Class Size  Respect/Discipline

A Lesson Learned Teaching is Valued/Respected  Focus on Staff Development (240 Hours Per Year)  Time During the Day  Pay/Levels of teaching  Constant Focus on Honing Teaching Skills  Rewards

All that Glitters is not Gold… Challenges Facing China’s Schools

Challenges Two Sides of Meritocracy Coin Tuition Becoming Commonplace Limited Options for Higher Education (4 million seats; 9 million applicants) Pressure from Competition A Yawning Education Opportunity Gap

Challenges Aside… It is remarkable to See the Educational Foundation China Has Created in Less Than 30 Years  300,000 college grads majored in engineering or technology – last year alone  More Chinese took the SAT in English last year in China than there were U.S. Students taking it.

Recap… 1)Clear Goals & Vision for Education 2)Goals Reflect Ambitions to Be a World Leader 3)High Expectations 4)Importance of Teachers is Recognized
