Primary education is provided to children in six-year comprehensive primary schools with a full day of study. The curriculum includes such subjects as moral education, Chinese language, politics, history, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, physical education, music, art, work skills, etc. Children who have graduated from primary school can enter secondary schools at their place of residence without admission exams.

Secondary eductaion in China
General secondary education is offered by general secondary schools. The training is divided into two stages. Secondary schools of the 1st stage provide incomplete secondary education. The term of study in them is three years.At this stage, the nine-year compulsory education ends.Secondary schools of the 2nd stage provide full secondary education, after which graduates can continue their studies at universities. Upon graduation, students take a final exam, the results of which determine their chances of enrolling in a particular university. In the field of secondary education, departmental restrictions on the admission of foreign students still apply. In particular, not all schools in China have the right to accept foreign students for study, only leading schools, the so-called key-school, have such a right.

Vocational education in China.
Unlike general education, the main purpose of secondary special education is the technical training of specialists for future work, the study of theoretical foundations and the development of practical skills related to the chosen profession, much less attention is paid to general education disciplines.
The system of secondary special education in China is divided into three levels: primary, secondary, and higher.
non–professional elementary schools accept graduates of a comprehensive elementary school - from the age of 12. Primary school education takes three to four years.
Secondary vocational schools accept persons with incomplete secondary education (after the general school of the first stage), that is, persons who have completed the stage of compulsory 9-year education. Education in schools of this level takes three to four years. Graduates of professional schools are ready to start professional activity in their specialty.
Professional educational institutions of the highest level accept persons with a full secondary education (after graduation from the second stage of school). The task of educational institutions of this level is to train comprehensively developed qualified specialists in their field. Training programs take two to three years. Graduates of secondary specialized institutions of the highest category have the right to start professional activity or enter general universities to obtain a bachelor's degree.

Higher eduaction in China
Universities in China are divided into several hierarchical categories according to the degree of prestige. Depending on the number of points received at the final school exam, graduates can apply for admission to the entrance exams only to the university of the corresponding category or lower category. Admission to Chinese universities takes place in conditions of fierce competition: competitions in individual universities reach 200-300 people per place.
