An Increase in Adult Education

Nowadays more and more adults especially in cities spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves at school or at college.According to a recent survey, the number of adult in 2009 is more than 6 times that of 1999.There are various reasons for people to go back for their education.Some people are doing it to acquire another degree or diploma to impress the society.To them more knowledge，or rather，more credentials means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion.Other people，especially those who are laid off or out of employment go to vocational school to prepare to return to the job market.They are eager for new skills so that they can be qualified for the jobs in retail trade, administration，education and other service categories to which they are strange because most of them were blue-collar workers in the factory.Out of necessity or out of interest，people go back to school for the common goal——to improve themselves，and this boom in adult education，in turn，helps to raise the intellectual standard of the whole country.Education: Examination-Oriented or Quality-Oriented?

From primary school to college, students, teachers and parents---all are struggling for high scores.This is because the current education system is not aimed at students' quality，but only at developing their ability to perform well on tests.As results, many students, even those with high scores, often do poorly when it comes to the practical application of what they have learned.Therefore, China is challenging Examination-oriented Education by advocating quality-oriented education.The alternative will focus on the students’ ability as a whole.The exam results will no longer play role in evaluating a student.Personally, I firmly believe in the magic force of this new policy.It seems that I have seen in my mind’s eye the more colorful life, the looser environment, yet the more creative minds of the future students.Our education, so to speak, will bring up a new generation.
