High School Education and Exam Culture in China
In Chinese high schools, large class sizes are common, especially in major cities like Beijing. The teacher-student relationship is often formal, with high respect for the teacher’s authority. There is immense pressure on students to perform well in standardized exams like the Gaokao, which are seen as critical for future success. Parents have high expectations and are deeply involved in their children’s education.
