Schooling China's Kids

Available for over a year

Is China's education system too academic, too high pressure and too elitist? Ed Butler meets a primary school head, a kindergarten tutor and a university professor to find out. The programme includes interviews with Lin Min, founding principal of the Xiwai International School, Michael Pettis of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, and author Zhang Lijia.
