This book unravels the mysteries of the Chinese school system to enable international scholars to better understand the logic of basic education in China. By collecting the latest, first-hand empirical data, it outlines a panoramic and vivid portrait of Chinese schools from principals’, teachers’, students’ and parents’ perspectives, including descriptions of their daily lives. It also interprets different stakeholders’ duties and explains the unique characteristics and operation model of Chinese schools. It is of interest to all those who are concerned with the current situation and the future of the Chinese school system and basic education in China, especially international researchers, policymakers, and parents wanting to know what is really happening in schools.

“The book illustrates the highly structured nature of Chinese schools and gives detailed information on exam-oriented education … . This book is a fascinating read for those interested in the current situation and characteristics of the Chinese school system at basic education level.” (Kenglin LAI and Jing LIN, Frontiers of Education in China, Vol. 12 (3), 2017)
