As the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China concluded this week, buzzwords like 'high-quality education system' and 'people-centered philosophy' lit up social media across the country. But what do international students actually think about China's approach to learning? 🤔
From London to Lusaka, CGTN Stringer gathered perspectives from students who’ve experienced Chinese classrooms firsthand. Sibele, a Brazilian grad student, called education 'the motor of success' behind China's development. 'The focus on discipline and innovation is next-level,' she added, comparing it to trends in South America.
Meanwhile, Jaime from Spain praised China's tech-driven classrooms: 'It’s like every school has Avengers-level tech! 🦾 From AI tutors to VR field trips – they’re future-proofing their students.'
Zambian medical student Nkosi highlighted accessibility: 'Scholarship programs let me study traditional Chinese medicine alongside global practices. It’s a mashup of ancient wisdom and modern science.'
While debates continue about educational styles worldwide, these global voices suggest China’s system earns top marks for adaptability and ambition. As the Congress emphasized education’s role in national rejuvenation, these testimonials offer a grassroots perspective on what that looks like in practice. 📚✨
