What kind of talents does China aspire to nurture? It’s not just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about fostering a young generation with moral grounding, intellectual ability, physical vigor, aesthetic sensibility, and practical skills.
So how is education achieving this? According to David Ferguson, Honorary Chief English Editor of the Foreign Languages Press, China’s education system has solid foundations. He believes that broad-based, interdisciplinary education will be a key priority in the future.
“China recognizes the importance of developing well-rounded individuals,” Ferguson explains. “The focus is shifting towards an education that not only imparts knowledge but also cultivates character and practical abilities.”
This holistic approach aims to prepare students for the challenges of the modern world, equipping them with the skills and values needed to become future leaders.
