In China, children begin to go to school at the age of seven. It takes six years for them to finish
primary school. In this stage, they are taught elementary knowledge in language and science,
which lays the foundation for their further education.

After primary school, they go to junior middle school without having to pass any exams.
Education at this levol is compvlsory. It lasts for three years, during which the children learn basie
Chinese English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

When the junior middle school education comes to an end, the students are screened by exams in
two ways. those who expect to go to college may choose to enter senior middle school and those
who want to work attend professional schools, The senior middle school education takes 3 years
and the professional school 2 to 3 years.

The senior middle school graduates have to take competitive exams before they enter college. The
college education lasts 4 years. And you can continue to study or go to work.
Such is the education system in China.
