Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon - Yong Zhao on Education in China
Season 1
Episode 5
Published 4 years, 5 months ago
Description
This week, the W5H Book Club looks at Yong Zhao's Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon?: Why China Has the Best (and Worst) Education System in the World. While the western world looks on in awe at China's performance on international standardized tests, Yong Zhao shows us why the Chinese themselves are actively trying to reform their own system and why it would be a mistake for the west to try to copy it.
Music: Play it Again by Christopher Norton, performed by Victoria Hsu
