When Spanish viewers asked about China's education system, we discovered it's way more than lecture halls!
Through CGTN's Ask China campaign, young people worldwide are learning how the country supports 1.4 billion residents with tailored education paths. Let’s break it down:
🎯 Skill-Based Education Takes Center Stage
China currently operates over 11,000 vocational schools training future chefs, AI technicians, and green energy specialists. "Our mechatronics program lets students earn while learning," says Shanghai Tech Academy instructor Li Wei.
🌐 Digital Learning Revolution
With 650 million digital learners nationwide, platforms like Tencent Classroom now offer micro-credentials in blockchain and metaverse design. Perfect for night owls! 🦉
🧠 Mental Health First
New mindfulness programs in 80% of urban schools help students manage stress. "We’re seeing yoga breaks replace cram sessions," notes Beijing youth counselor Zhang Mei.
🔧 Adult Education Boom
After-work upskilling courses have doubled since 2025, with robotics and sustainable agriculture being top picks among 25-35 year-olds.
📈 Fun fact: 42% of Chinese high school graduates now choose non-university paths – a 15% jump from last decade!
