China’s education system also suppresses innovation while rewarding imitation. Although some Chinese schools conduct innovative experimental education, they remain few and have little impact.From childhood to adulthood, Chinese students are subjected to rote learning—memorizing and obeying rather than questioning or thinking independently. Thus, while Chinese students and researchers excel at replication and refinement of existing work, they are poor at true creativity.
is there any actual material basis for there being a difference between “0 to 1” and “1 to 100”, china is a world leader in technology and has been for awhile now?
also, if there’s any truth to chinese education harming creative thinking, i dont think rote memorization has anything to do with it, it’s just because from what i understand school in china fucking sucks to experience, if you want to encourage learning and creativity you need the learning enviroment to be fun and stress free which is true of school in approximately 0% of the world imho
