Education

Shaping China's future generation.

Overview

Education is an essential component of human capital formation and has implications for economic growth, China’s transition to a modern economy, and China’s capacity to compete in 21st century industries. Our Center is among a small number of groups with comprehensive data on multiple key dimensions of China’s education system. This unique position enables us to continue path breaking research on education in China that is relevant to policy makers and educators around the world.
