Impacts of Reforms in Chinese Educational System

Abstract

This paper focuses on the impacts of the reforms in Chinese educational system. Education is
part of China’s overall development and it is known that the last recent decades the whole
Chinese educational system has been the subject of unprecedented reforms. The increased
impact of educational reforms has provided significant human resources and innovation,
which facilitated progress in the economic, political, cultural, and social development. The
development of China's education system has been a major factor in its economic and social
growth. This article aims to examine some of the effects that the reforms have generated on
the entire Chinese education system and provide guidelines for minimizing limitations and
weaknesses of the education system in its reforms. Using a qualitative approach to collect the
data drawn from articles and materials, this paper aims to discuss educational reforms and
how they affect the Chinese education system by exploiting the readings related to the subject.
Some progress has been achieved in the extent to which transformations are perceptible.
Gains have been made through educational policies supported by good economic health for
years. Despite the progress, education seems to be the field of some contradictions and there
is a need to overcome certain shortcomings and weaknesses of educative practices that the
Chinese educational system is still facing. Possible solutions are proposed in conclusion and
recommendation.
