The current school system in China is a branch school system developed from the monorail school system. 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.

The current academic system is based on the 1922 academic system, that is, the Ren Xu academic system. In order to conform to the national conditions, the government of the Republic of China has made some corresponding changes according to the current situation (such as changing the party education to the Three People's Principles education). Therefore, this can be regarded as the development of Ren Xu's academic system. The main aspect of Chen's educational system reform is higher education.
