The World Bank has looked at the distinguishing features of successful school system.

According to the World Bank’s education specialist, Harry Patrinos, this include: improving the quality of teachers and making sure that teachers are highly regarded; providing information to make schools accountable and giving autonomy to schools and head teachers.

This matters not only for individual pupils but also for the well-being of countries, he says, because improving educational performance has a direct impact on improving economic performance.

China’s education performance— at least in cities such as Shanghai and Hong Kong— seems to be as spectacular as the country’s fast growing economy.

Certainly both these open and outward-looking cities consider education to be important and are willing to adopt the best educational practices from around the world to ensure success. In Hong Kong, education accounts for more than one-fifth of entire government spending every year.

“Shanghai and Hong Kong are small education systems, with a concentration of ideas, manpower and resources for education,” says Prof Cheng.

Under the banner “First class city, first class education”, Shanghai set about systematically re-equipping classroom, upgrading schools and improving the curriculum in the last decade.

It got rid of the “key schools” system which concentrated resources only on top students and top schools. Instead staff were trained in more interactive teaching methods and computers were brought in.

About 80% of Shanghai school leavers go to university compared to an overall average of 24% in China.

Meanwhile, dynamic Hong Kong was forced into educational improvements as its industries moved to cheaper mainland Chinese areas in the 1990s.Its survival as a service and management hub depends on upgrading knowledge and skills.

In the last decade Hong Kong has concentrated on closing the gap for all students, says a report by McKinsey management consultants.

The report, How the World’s Most Improved School Systems Keep Getting Better, rated Hong Kong’s education system among the best in the world.

1.The World Bank’s survey about education mainly concentrates on .

A. what has made some education systems successful

B. China’s education system and competitive exams

C. how to relieve Chinese students of their heavy schoolwork

D. the relationship between education and economic development

2.According to Harry Patrinos, the key to successful school systems is .

A. to give autonomy to all teachers to educate students freely in class

B. to let students attend after-school tutoring and do more exercises

C. to improve teachers’ abilities and give schools free performance right

D. to make school education directly serve the economy of the country

3.We can learn from the text that .

A. the “key school” system is the key to many schools’ failure

B. students in Shanghai and Hong Kong work the hardest

C. Hong Kong’s educational performance isn’t as good as Shanghai’s

D. Shanghai and Hong Kong’s economic performance will improve

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the school systems of Shanghai and Hong Kong?

A. Negative. B. Positive.

C. Neutral. D. Critical.
