答案— There are more TV’s, computers and audio-visual material in the classroom nowadays than 20 years ago. Unfortunately, modem teaching methods have not changed much, so the focus is still on memo- rising information and passing exams. There has been a big change with the appearance of many new private schools. Although the government spends relatively lime on education, Chinese parents are prepared to spend a substantial proportion of their income on it. This means that children often study outside the state school system, perhaps with a tutor or in after-school classes. They usually study the same subjects as in their state school, but some schools specialise in teaching art or music or foreign languages. — I think that Western teaching methods will eventually be used across China, but I don’t think it will happen soon. The whole system is too closely geared towards exams and factual learning, rather than developing skills such as the ability to think creatively or understand how and why things work the way they do. In the near future, I think that there will be more contacts with schools abroad, particularly via the Internet--it’s too expensive for most parents to actually send their kids abroad. — I would change the way subjects are taught to make teaching more student centred. I would also follow the British system and combine the school-leaving exams with the university entrance ones. This would make things a little easier for those finishing high school and wishing to continue their education. — I think that parents should only have to pay for a limited number of things while their children are at primary and secondary schools, for example notebooks, pens and uniforms. I think that this allows everyone to have a decent basic education. I think that the government should subsidise undergraduate studies for students who get good enough grades, but that students should pay part of the cost them- selves. The government could arrange for students loans to be available. Graduates could pay back these loans once they get jobs. — I think that a good school should have high standards and not allow those standards to fall. Many schools are just interested in making money--in China this is sometimes even true in the state sector. Schools can achieve high standards by attracting the most highly qualified and experienced teachers with higher salaries. They can also only allow the best students to enter the school. This is what the best schools and universities do all over the world.
