AbstractAlthough formal schooling in China dates back to the time of Confucius, more than 2,500 years ago, the modern education system still has a problem keeping pace with the country's social and economic development. A serious shortage of funds, a high illiteracy rate in vast rural areas and the exodus of qualified teachers are believed to be major obstacles.
