What's the difference between the education system in China and that in France?
China has implemented nine-year compulsory education since 1986. The education stage is divided into kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, senior high school and university.

Preschool education generally begins at the age of three and is divided into small classes (3-4 years old), middle classes (4-5 years old) and large classes (5-6 years old).

In most areas, primary education is divided into six years, but in some provinces, primary education is five years. Generally, the courses to be studied are: morality and life, Chinese, mathematics, English, physical education and health, science, music, art and information technology. Because there is no unified examination after primary school graduation, it is difficult to guarantee other courses except Chinese, mathematics and English. Most rural areas may only offer Chinese, mathematics and physical education.

Junior high school education is generally three years, and in some areas it is four years. General study courses include: Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, history, biology, geography, biology, sports and health, information family, music and art. In some areas, Japanese or Russian courses are offered instead of English. Junior high school graduates generally have graduation exams. In recent years, the senior high school entrance examination has gradually attracted the attention of parents and students.

Senior high school education is to prepare for entering the university, usually for three years. After the final exam of senior one, students need to decide whether to study liberal arts or science in senior two and senior three. Before entering senior three, you need to complete all the exams. All the study in high school is for the college entrance examination. The full name of the college entrance examination is the entrance examination for college students, which is regarded as the most important examination in the whole education system. Since 2003, the college entrance examination has been changed from June 7th to 8th. The total score of the college entrance examination is 750

Higher education includes higher vocational colleges, junior colleges (2-3 years) and undergraduate courses (4 years). Higher vocational and junior college graduates have no degrees. Undergraduate graduates can continue their studies by taking the national postgraduate entrance examination. You can get a master's degree in 2-3 years, and then you can study for a doctor.

The French education system is divided into three stages: primary education, secondary education and higher education.

primary education

Many children are sent to affiliated primary schools at the age of three, and they must enter the first grade of primary school at the age of six. French primary schools are usually taught by one or two teachers in different subjects, such as French, mathematics, natural science, history, geography and so on. Public schools do not provide religious education.

secondary education

Secondary education is divided into two schools. One is junior high school (collège) in the fourth year after primary school, and after junior high school, he got the Brevet diploma; The other is a high school after three years of junior high school, and after the end of high school, he won the high school examination.

higher education

Higher education is divided into colleges and universities. Public universities are named after their local or nearby cities and serial numbers, and generally do not charge tuition fees; The university has a high reputation and is an institution of higher education outside the university. At the same time, private universities are also widespread. These schools charge tuition fees and are generally professional schools.
