China's school system

China's school system is a branch system.

The branching school system is a type of modern school education system, corresponding to the dual-track school system represented by Western European countries and the single-track school system represented by the United States, and the former Soviet Union.

The branching-type school system is a national school system consisting of a single school system at a certain stage of primary and secondary education, and at a later stage (after middle school or high school), a variety of school systems begin to differentiate from the articulation of the system. The entire school system thus constituted resembles a fork, which is why this type of school system is also known as a bifurcated school system.

The branching school system was developed in the former Soviet Union. The school system during the time of Tsarist Russia was also a two-track school system. After the October Revolution, the Soviet Union developed a single-track socialist unified labor school. Later, in the course of development, some of the traditions of the original liberal arts secondary schools and the practice of having a single vocational school were restored, and thus the Soviet-type school system, which had the characteristics of both a single-track and a dual-track school system, was formed.

This type of school system differs from the European dual-track system in that it does not begin with a separate track, with all children entering public kindergartens and then primary educational institutions. But it is also different from the American single-track school system because it begins to branch out again when it enters the secondary school level, with some students entering general secondary schools and others entering vocational, teacher-training, medical, and other specialized technical schools.

The Soviet Union as a representative of both single-track and dual-track characteristics of the branch-type school system. Branch-type school system in the first part of the single track, the latter part of the bifurcation between the dual-track school system and the single-track school system. There is no branching at the beginning, where all children enter public kindergartens, then primary education institutions, and then at the secondary level they begin to diverge and enter different types of schools for their studies.

The best graduates of either type of school are able to go on to study in the appropriate higher education institution, demonstrating the superiority of the branching type of schooling system with no class and no hierarchical differences.
