HIGH SCHOOL AND ENGLISH A LEVEL? ---
COMPARE REFORMS IN CHINA AND CURRICULUM 2000 IN ENGLAND
ABSTRACT
In resent years, Chinese government reformed the curriculum
and the model of examination three times in high school. Despite
each reform contradicted to the last reform, the aims of reforms
are reducing the burden for students and tending to good correspondence
between learning and actual examinations. In England, curriculum
2000 was the important reform introduced new qualification
of A level. This essay illustrates the similarities and contrasts
between Chinese and English reforms and their effect through
comparing some aspects of reforms rather than describing the
details of them. Through comparison both countries, I analyse
the strength and weakness of Chinese systems and English.
Finally, I forecast the tendency of development and in China
and England.
