** China’s Education ** China’s education is a lot different then ours. Their basic education is Pre-school, Primary, and Secondary Education. Kindergarten and Pre-school can last up to 3 years. The kids that take Pre-school and Kindergarten are 3-6 years of age. Their academic year is divided into 2 semesters. Chinese higher education at the un-graduate level is divided into 3-4 year colleges and universities. They have lots of different types of colleges. They are: Radio/TV specialized secondary schools, in-service teacher training schools, educational colleges, peasant colleges, and also correspondent colleges. The types of classes they have to take to graduate are pretty much the same as what we have to take except instead of English they take Chinese, and American Sign Language. They also need 120 credits to graduate. The official language they speak in the mainland of china is Mandarin. In the universities of Hong Kong they only teach them how to speak in English. The official languages in Hong Kong are English and Cantonese. The kids in China have two different kinds of school uniforms and there are one for the winter and one for the summer. The boy’s uniforms have dark trousers with a lighter colored shirt and a tie. The girl’s uniforms have a dark colored skirt and a blouse. Sometimes the girls will have a dressy jacket to wear over their blouse.
