2. Executive Summary
The ancient education of China began in the Chinese classical works, rather than religious organizations. In Chinese history, clearly documented
school for formal teaching began in Xia Dynasty (c. 2100-1600 B.C.). Since the beginning of 21st Century, the Chinese government gave priority to
education and put forward the strategic policy of “revitalizing the nation through science and education". Deepening educational system reform,
strengthening quality education, and adhering to make nine-year compulsory education universal and eliminating illiteracy are the most important
tasks of education.
The Chinese education system follows a specific pattern where early childhood education (pre-primary) is followed by primary school (Elementary
school), middle school, secondary school (High school), and post-secondary (Tertiary) education. There are two major examinations for students
undergoing school education in China, Zhongkao and Gaokao. Students begin their nine-year compulsory education at about six years old, and they
progress through elementary school and junior high school over the following nine years. At the end of Grade Nine, all students are required to take
Zhongkao, which is the cumulative assessment of this nine-year education period and is the entrance examination for senior high school.
The overall growth of the industry will be driven by rising responsiveness of people towards the benefits of early education and continuing education
and growing demand for online teaching methods. The trends observed in China regarding the education industry are growing access to internet and
declining rates of young population. While on one side, internet opens up the opportunities to grab overseas education, simultaneously, it poses a
threat to domestic educational institutions. Another challenge faced by the industry is declining rate of young population reflected by the fact that
enrollments in primary and secondary education have been declining since 2007.
