September 10 is Teachers ’Day in China

In China, Teachers ’Day has been celebrated on September 1989 every year since 10. The holiday was officially established on January 1985, 21. On this day, representatives of the education sector in China are honored.

The purpose of celebrating the holiday is to raise the prestige of intellectual labor lost during the years of the Cultural Revolution. Today, the modern education system in China is based on the European version of compulsory education, which lasts from six years to 9 years. Of these, 6 years are primary school education, and the 1st stage of secondary education lasts 3 years. Those who want to enter a higher education institution will have to study at a higher "Higher School" for another 3 years. The role of international schools in the Chinese secondary education system is special. They have a high percentage of international students, and education is conducted in several languages. On Teachers ’Day in China, students honor their teachers with postcards, flowers and gifts.
