CHINA EDUCATION

EDUCATION IN CHINA

Education has come a long way since the days of Mao Zedong and the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) when teachers were at the bottom of the social scale on the basis of the then current maxim: " The more knowledge you have, the more counterrevolutionary you are. " Today students throughout the country hold their teachers in the highest respect.

Higher education almost ground to a halt during the "Cultural Revolution." The Chinese Government has given priority to education and has achieved remarkable results over the last 20 years. Last year alone Chinese colleges and universities enrolled 1 million students, 1.5 times as many as in 1978 when the system of national entrance examinations for colleges and universities were reinstated.

Colleges and Universities in China have trained 9,100,000 students over the last 20 years. That comes to an average of 455,000 for each year. That is not much for a nation of 1,200,000,000 people. But it is great achievement for a burgeoning nation trying to achieve parity in this modern global world

Visas

A visa is required for People’s Republic of China, but the time of writing, visas were not required for most Western nationals to visit Hong Kong or Macau. If you visit Hong Kong or Macau from China, you will need to be on a double entry visa or apply for another visa to re-entry China.

For most travelers, the type of visa is ‘L’, from the Chinese word for travel. This letter is stamped right on the visa. The usual length of stay for an ‘L’ visa is 30 days. Working, student and business visas generally require a letter of invitation from a host unit in China. HIV- negative tests will be required from teachers and students planning to live in China for more than nine months.
