China Reshapes Education System with Technology Focus Since 2021 Policy

China implemented a comprehensive educational policy in 2021, which initially appeared as a measure to curb private tutoring and reduce student workload. However, this initiative represented a fundamental re-evaluation of the country's learning methodologies. The core objective was to alleviate academic pressure and redirect classroom instruction towards practical application. Since the policy's introduction, China has consistently promoted technology in teaching and aligned its educational goals with broader national objectives. Rohan Dua, a research fellow at BHU, noted that China is transitioning from a system that identifies high achievers to one that develops widespread competencies. He added that the emphasis is now on students' practical abilities, not just their recall of information. In contrast, India faces distinct challenges related to educational scale and systemic inertia.
