Why are the education systems in China different from those in Europe and America?
First, the educational concept is different.

China's educational philosophy is completely different from that of the United States. The biggest difference is that China emphasizes indoctrination education. China students have a solid foundation, which is an advantage, but it also has shortcomings. Students in China always cringe when facing new things. Compared with American students, their sense of innovation is very poor. Whether it is the course study report, design report or final exam of each course, Huada pays more attention to whether the students' answers meet the "standards"; American universities pay more attention to practice and creative thinking in practice. This is also an important difference between domestic education and western education.

Second, Chinese and American universities have different scientific research models.

Judging from teachers' scientific research achievements, with the enhancement of the overall scientific research strength of society, people's expectations for universities are getting higher and higher, and universities are facing more and more research topics and goals. At present, colleges and universities in China have rigid requirements for teachers' scientific research work, and have established corresponding incentive and assessment mechanisms, with the original intention of improving teachers' scientific research ability and making them have more scientific research achievements. However, the mechanism itself has some shortcomings. In order to complete the number of papers in the employment period, teachers grab a hot topic casually and search for two or three days through the internet, which leads to the low quality of scientific research of university teachers and the phenomenon of "academic corruption" can be seen everywhere. The general formulation of academic corruption in the United States is "unfair scientific behavior". According to the definition of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and other authoritative departments, improper scientific behavior refers to "fabrication, tampering or plagiarism in the process of proposing, developing and evaluating scientific research projects or reporting scientific research results". The policy adopted by the United States on academic corruption is to expose and investigate, which is mainly undertaken by the scientific community who knows the inside story. However, the office has prepared a set of very detailed countermeasures for legal problems that may arise during the investigation, including how to obtain material evidence and summon witnesses.

Third, the student management system is different.

Students' management in China's colleges and universities is generally the responsibility of the Student Affairs Office, mainly at the class (year) level, and each class is managed by a class tutor or counselor. The class teacher or counselor accepts the leadership of the Student Affairs Department of the Party Committee and provides ideological and political education, management and service to students. The focus of counselors' work in China lies in ideological and political education for students, mainly the education of ideals and beliefs, the education of current affairs policies of the party and the country, etc. In management, including stable work, scholarship management, student team building, class daily affairs and so on. Services include financial aid services, student loans, psychological and vocational counseling. At the same time, it is necessary to accept the leadership of the department and assist the department to do a good job in teaching services. The advantage of this management system is that schools can keep abreast of students' study, life and ideological trends. If problems are found, it can contact and communicate with class teachers and teachers in various ways to solve the problems in time and avoid the occurrence of adverse events. However, the very specialized services such as psychological counseling and career counseling in student management in China are far from meeting the needs of students, mainly because we started late and the personnel and counseling content are not professional enough.

Student management in the United States has no concept of class. After entering the school, students can get a degree as long as they complete the required credits at the specified time. Students take a variety of courses, and students of the same major may not take the same course at the same time. There is no class teacher. The job responsibilities of American student counselors have three main components: psychological counseling, career counseling and social counseling. Counselors mainly provide personal or group counseling to students through counseling programs, which can promote their psychological health, cultivate job-hunting skills, and teach them how to socialize and how to be a person. Psychological counselors in the United States mainly serve, so they can apply the cutting-edge theories and practices of psychology, medicine, management, organizational behavior and public relations to provide counseling and services to students in psychological counseling, career counseling, study counseling and life counseling. The focus of American counselors' work is on consulting services outside teaching. In colleges and universities, counselors are managed by appointment system. When counselors are needed, students can make an appointment with the learning center. The counseling center will arrange specific counselors for individual counseling or group counseling according to specific circumstances. Although the counselor system in the United States provides adequate services for students' job-hunting skills and social skills, it fails to grasp students' psychological state in time because of the passivity of their work. Moreover, because there is no class teacher, they regard students' personal life as privacy and do not interfere, which leads to frequent shootings on campus, because American schools do not understand students' lives.
