No one, it seems, is pleased with China’s educational system. Chinese nationalists fret that students are graduating without the critical and creative skills necessary to compete globally. Foreign observers worry that heavy political indoctrination in schools is producing a new generation of Chinese nationalists. Chinese parents tear their hair out over the grueling exams that will largely determine their children’s futures. And those children, as they graduate into the workplace and struggle to find jobs, grieve for entire childhoods largely sacrificed to preparing for exams.
