In China, the education is divided into three categories: basic education, higher education, and adult education. By law, each child must have nine years of compulsory education from primary school (six years) to junior secondary education (three years).

Basic education in China includes pre-school education (usually three years), primary education (six years, usually starting at the age of six) and secondary education (six years).
Secondary education has two routes: academic secondary education and specialized/vocational/technical secondary education. Academic secondary education consists of junior (three years) and senior middle schools (three years). Junior middle school graduates wishing to continue their education take a locally administered entrance exam, on the basis of which they will have the option of i) continuing in an academic senior middle school; or ii) entering a vocational middle school (or leave school at this point) to receive two to four years of training. Senior middle school graduates wishing to go to universities must take National Higher Education Entrance Exam (Gao Kao). According to the Chinese Ministry of Education, in June 2015, 9.42 million students took the exam.

Higher education is further divided into two categories: 1) universities that offer four-year or five-year undergraduate degrees to award academic degree qualifications; and 2) colleges that offer three-year diploma or certificate courses on both academic and vocational subjects. Postgraduate and doctoral programmes are only offered at universities.
Ukweli mtupu, lakini umekosea, sisi hatuna population kubwa kama wao, kwa ivyo ukispecialise sana utakosa kazi na ufe njaa.
Kwa lugha nyepesi, china unaweza enda college uspecialise na ufundi wa madirisha, ujuwe kila kitu kuhusu madirisha, sababu market ya madirisha ni kubwa sana, na hutakosa kazi, lakini kenya population ni kidogo, wafaa ujuwe mambo kidogo kuhusu madirisha, mambo kidogo kuhusu milango, mambo kidogo kuhusu roofing, sababu kazi ya namna moja sio mingi.
Kenya unafaa usomee subject zote kwa juu juu, ndio ukikosa kazi sector moja uwe flexible kuswitch kwa kazi ingine kwa sector ingine.
For years Ndindu you’ve been bitching about Degree programs and castigating graduates…you’re just a bitter certificate holder that attended Kamagambo Institute of Plumbing. Stepping into a reputable university makes one more open-minded. It’s called uni coz you receive universal education, something which I don’t think happens in Kamagambo. You suffer from inferiority complex just coz you failed to meet the cut-off points for JAB. Tulia na your certificate not every graduate is dumb as you think or incompetent. There’s so much satisfaction that comes with being a Degree holder ( even if life doesn’t go as planned). Imagine your Eulogy…John Ndindu scored D+ from Kamagambo Secondary grade and was admitted to Kamagambo Village Polytechnic, on the other end, Rainbowreigns successfully completed his Studies at the Lenana School and was admitted to The University of Nairobi to pursue Economics and Finance…graduated with second class upper, started his career at Deloitte, Nairobi…before joining JP Morgan Chase…Tuliza mkundu si eti unajua kila kitu
But I am NOT employed! I EMPLOY, that is the major difference between you and I. Tuliza kundu, kuja nikupe kazi ya Karani ujaze Excel Spreadsheet na ubalnce Assests na Liabilities kwa Quickbooks nugu hii.
In my entire life I have been employed for less than 2 years na hiyo ilikuwa kwa Poshomill after High School sio kwa Blue Chip companies. But I made it bila degree.
Degree ni poa, but it is not the YARDSTICK of Success.
I’d rather be employed with a multinational conglomerate than a village business that cons widows in the name of doing plumbing. I earn good money…I take care of my larger extended family… I have educated my kins… I have more than enough for retirement…If I wanted I can also be the largest shareholder in your village company… So relax
All those things you are talking about I’ve also done them. I took myself to college, educacted my siblings, bought my first car while still in college all that back in 2002/03, bought my own land and built my own house just 2 year after leaving college. Saa hii ni 2021. You think I’m stagnant?
No I don’t assume… Degree programs discourage assumptions… Same assumptions that are always made by you Diploma holders that degree holders are bound to work for C guys. You always peddle misinformation eti ooH Bill Gates dropped out of Uni oooh the Facebook founder saw that degree was useless… C’mmon these same people that you normally use as reference points went back to school completed their undergraduate programs enrolled for post-graduate. Stick to your lanes first attend uni before coming here to discourage people from doing degree courses. And fact is degree holders always have a competitive edge over diploma in every sphere of life. Statistically, people are more inclined to engage degree contractors than their diploma counterparts. So stop these petty fights everyday… to me u’re still a form four dropout if you try so hard to validate ur diploma
People think Universities are just Buildings. Now every County has a university or two, they don’t care about equipping the labs and what not. The whole of Kenya would be Ok with just 10 Univeristies then the hundreds of colleges would be affiliates. But to you holding Printed Toilet Paper with a Seal is enough to make you happy.
More than enough… I represent a tiny fraction of Kenyans who possess ‘Printed Toilet Paper with a Seal’. University degree is a key metric used in a wide-range of areas, such as health literacy, employment prospects, etc etc. Wewe kaa na certificate yako na acha sisi wa degree tukae na zetu so long as it puts food on the table, there’s absolutely no need of arguing. The end justifies the means.
Prepositions. Nasinasema hizi degrees ni Toilet Paper. You are proving me right yet again.
:D:D:D
Unafikiria na kikamba unaadika na kwa kuzungu?
:D:D:D
Do you use such poor grammar at your Multinational Blue Chip company? Wewe unakosesha fellow Degree holders kazi kama you type such nonsense kwa emails to your bosses in the UK
Yes for courses such as plumbing, mechanics, and electrician…but courses such as Medicine, Economics, Law, Finance, etc etc… we dont really need hands on technical…Unacheka cheka hapa na ata you dont have a strategic plan, you don’t know what it entails, you don’t know the variables included, the financials equation factored in… tuliza tako,., there is a reason uliitwa na D+ yako polytechnic na mimi mtu wa A- (1999) nikaenda uni,completed my CPA(K) alongside CFA (SA)… Hatuko ligi moja on so many things… Kaa chini you wait for a new tax regime to be developed by graduates.
makes sense, but its not even tied to the population size, it comes down to opportunities available/created, India with a population comparable to china is useless when it comes to such a specialization route, they also generalists. While Germany or the Scandinavian countries with lower populations are very good with the specialization aspect of education.
Lakini you are right hapa Kenya specializing especially at such an early age can and is mostly detrimental, we dont have a mature manufacturing sector, heck we dont have any mature economic sector to support such a system, hapa ni kuiba kununua shamba, and the most valuable productivity we can think of ni kujenga flats.
When you’re dead (or alive) the schools you attended are irrelevant. It’s your achievements, legacy / impact on society that will make you famous or infamous (infamous is not necessarily bad, may be unpopular).
