1.Overview of the Education System in Mainland China
In China, it is convenient to divide education in China into four categories: primary education, secondary education, higher education, and adult education. China has a Compulsory Education Law.
The Compulsory Education Law
The Compulsory Education Law calls for each child to have nine years of formal education. To meet this requirement, a child will attend either five years of elementary education followed by three years of junior middle school. Today in China, the first system, “5-4”, is virtually nonexistent; the second system, “6-3”, is far more common.

2.Categories with the Education System
1) Primary Education
Primary education includes preschool and elementary education. Preschool, or kindergarten, can last up to three years, with children entering as early as age three, until age six, when they typically enter elementary school. The academic year is divided into two semesters.
2) Secondary Education
Secondary education is divided into academic secondary education and specialized/vocational/technical secondary education.
Academic secondary education is delivered by academic lower and upper middle schools.
Lower middle school graduates wishing to continue their education take a locally administered entrance exam, on the basis of which they will have the option either of continuing in an academic upper middle school or of entering a vocational secondary school. Vocational schools offer programs ranging from two to four years and train medium-level skilled workers, farmers, and managerial and technical personnel. Technical schools typically offer four-years programs to train intermediate technical personnel. “Schools for Skilled Workers” typically train junior middle school graduates for positions requiring production and operation skills. The length of training is typically three year.
3) Higher Education
Higher education at the undergraduate level includes two-and three-year junior colleges(sometimes also called short-cycle colleges or zhuanke colleges ( ), four-year colleges( ), and universities ( ) offering programs in both academic and vocational subjects. Many colleges and universities also offer graduate programs leading to the master’s or Ph.D. degree.
Chinese higher education at the undergraduate level is divided into and programs. Zhuanke programs are offered not only at short-cycle colleges, but frequently also at four-year colleges and universities. Benke programs are offered at four-year colleges and universities but do not always lead to the bachelor’s degree.
Myriad higher education opportunities also fall under the general category of adult education.
4) Adult Education
The adult education category overlaps all three of the above categories. Adult primary education includes Workers’ Primary Schools, Peasants’ Primary Schools, and literacy classes. Adult secondary education includes radio/TV specialized secondary schools, specialized secondary school for cadres, specialized secondary schools for staff and workers, specialized secondary schools for peasants, in-service teacher training schools and correspondence specialized secondary schools. Adult higher education includes radio/TV universities, cadre institutes, workers’ colleges, peasant colleges, correspondence colleges, and educational colleges. Most of the above offer both two- and three-year short-cycle (or zhuanke) curricula; only a few also offer regular undergraduate curricula.

3.Grading Scale
Grades in China may follow either a five-scale or a four-scale system, as follows:
Some transcripts-----even those in the original Chinese----use the Latin letter grades (A, B, C, D, F) rather than the Chinese equivalents above. Often, numerical grades are reported (generally on a 0-100 scale); in this case, refer either to the bottom of the transcript (especially the English translation) for the letter-grade equivalents, or use the standard scale (A: 90-100, B: 80-89,etc.).
Certain classes can be taken on a pass-fail basis and are reported thus:

4.Key schools
The designation “key school” exists for selected schools at every level: elementary, secondary, and higher. In addition, there are various levels of the “key” designation itself: There are national key institutions; provincial or municipal key institutions, and county or district key institutions. Key schools all enjoy priority funding as well as the privilege of recruiting the best students. At the elementary and secondary levels, this concept is similar to that of a “magnet” or “college preparatory” school in the United States. Entry into such schools is based on examination and academic promise and achievement. For such schools, success usually is measured in terms of the percentage of its graduates entering colleges and universities----especially the key colleges and universities priority in the allocation of limited resources, the training of top-level manpower for China’s reconstruction can be carried out more efficiently.
In certain areas, the “key school” concept has come under fire. Indeed, the success of the key elementary and middle schools has been measured too often solely in terms of the college placement of its students, rather than on more objective measurements of learning. Furthermore, remnants of the same sort of elitism that shut down the key schools during the Cultural Revolution have re-emerged, leading to questioning by education authorities. Nevertheless, the vast majority of students gaining admission to China’s colleges and universities are graduates of key upper middle schools. Thus, key schools are likely to continue to thrive as long as they enjoy the near monopoly of placing students in college.
Finally, since 1992, a new informal category of schools has emerged: the so-called “elite schools.” These non-governmental schools with state-of-the-art facilities often charge astronomical tuition fees and cater primarily to children of the new and wealthy entrepreneurial class in China. “Elite schools: exist at all levels of education, from kindergarten through higher education.
