The current education system in China consists of a horizontally divided school system and vertically divided school stages. Horizontal division can be divided into general education, professional education, adult education and other types, while vertical division can be divided into early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, higher education and other stages. Therefore, from the morphological point of view, the current academic system in China is a branch academic system developed from the monorail academic system.
Introduction of branch school system: Branch school system is a modern school education system. The branch school system means that a country's school system is composed of a single school system at a certain stage of primary education and secondary education, and then a variety of school systems begin to differentiate at a later stage (after junior high school or high school).
The basic direction of the reform and development of China's education system is to rebuild and improve the academic system of different disciplines, that is, to move towards the academic system of different disciplines through the development of vocational education after basic education, and then to the monorail academic system through the integration of high schools. This is the development trend of modern education system.
Modern school education system
There are three kinds of modern school education systems: single-track system, double-track system and branch system.
Dual-track school system, which mainly appears in western Europe, such as Britain, France, Germany and so on. The academic system is generally divided into two tracks: one is academic education, which is enjoyed by children in the upper class; The other track is vocational education, which is for the children of working people. The advantage of this kind of education system is high school efficiency, but at the same time it violates educational fairness and is not conducive to the popularization of education.
Monorail school system, mainly represented by the United States. From primary school, middle school and university. This academic system is conducive to popularizing primary education, but the disadvantage is that education is still unequal and tuition fees will be very expensive.
The branch school system, also known as mixed school system or intermediate school system, is represented by the former Soviet Union and implements compulsory education at the basic stage. The secondary stage is divided into academic education and vocational education.
The school education system is the main part of China's education system, which is systematically implemented according to the laws of the physical and mental development of the educated, including preschool education, primary education, secondary education and higher education.
