"Quality Education vs. Education as
Preparation for Tests: New Directions of Educational Reform in China”
by
Dr. Shutao Chen, President
Harbin Normal University
CSUN’s Sister University in China
As American schools are moving fast towards
standards-based and test-driven reform in the beginning of the 21st
Century, the Chinese schools are moving away from such emphasis in the past in
order to develop “quality education”— education that cultivates the moral
character and develops students in all-round ways. Lessons can be drawn from the Chinese experiences to avoid
downfalls in American school reform.
