Educational Inequality in China:

Over time educational inequality within China has progressed but it still is not at its strongest. In 1980, China saw a slue of reforms being established and it actually made it possible for plenty of economic growth within their country. There is obviously a very strong upside for educational equality when the results are always positive in each country. Since the reforms, education within China has gotten better. There used to be a lot of different reasons for education not reaching some children due to geographical reasons but since the economic growth it has made it easier to develop schools and gain supplies in order to excel. Most primary level schools that were popular were cut to make kids have to attend their local schools which has increased the numbers of kids in school that way. Also plenty of kids will finish out their primary education but not have the desire to attend secondary schools and would rather do something else.

China lacks in secondary schooling, money, connections and privilege play a large role in kids being able to attend sought after secondary schools. The thought of primary schools is universally recognized as mandatory or pretty common which is still true in China yet some kids never go. Secondary education is seen as a privilege everywhere but in China a lot of it is political. With the growth of funding lately the amount of kids attending secondary school is at an all time high. Due to the fact that China is a developed country, it offers a lot in the field of secondary education but actually attending them is not that easy.

Media articles have stated, that secondary school graduates from China would have a difficult time succeeding in foreign coutries in certain fields of workforce jobs due to the strict curriculum that they follow. Some lack skills in common work force jobs, also the lack of creative ability is something that is talked about a lot due to the lack of jobs in China that involve creativity. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1043951X06000289
