EDUCATION SYSTEM
Primary and secondary education in China comprises three stages: six years of primary school, three years of junior middle school, and three years of senior middle school. Primary and junior middle school education is compulsory, and commences at age six. To progress from junior middle school, students must pass locally organised entrance examinations. Results of these entrance examinations are used to stream students into a general academic route or a technical and vocational route.
The technical and vocational schools offer the Vocational Secondary School Diploma which includes general knowledge, basic technology and a subject specialism. Senior secondary schools offer the Senior High School Entrance Examination, which is usually taken in five or six subjects. As it is taken across the country, but organised on a provincial basis, curricula and standards may vary.
