[quote=PANADA,360986]A principal of a college in China say in an interview that China should gradually cancel the "key primary and middle schools" to realize the equality in education. Do you think this is a good idea?

Undoubtedly, the key schools have better educational resources than the ordinary schools. Excellent teachers and hardware facilities are owned by these key schools. Therefore, almost all parents do their best to send their kids into key schools. They believe that their children will receive better education there. It is true. Rate of admission into higher schools or colleges in key primary and middle schools is higher than that in ordinary schools.

However, there is a problem. The key schools' accommdation capacity is limited. Therefore, the parents compete to send their kids into the key schools. They find "contacts" or bribe the principals to let their kids enter the key schools. What about those parents who are not rich or don't have contacts? They have no other way except letting their children in ordinary school. Then the unfairness in education appears.

"To tackle this problem, cancelling the key schools is a good method." I agree with that principal.

BTW, I am wondering if there are "key schools" in other countries. Anyone would like to share some info?[/quote]
