Key Notes

Historical and current structural diagnosis on 2012-03-16, looking back over the previous 20 to 30 years.

diagnosis

Jiang says China is moving from a manufacturing economy to a knowledge economy, but its exam-oriented school system was built to produce disciplined literate workers for labor-intensive growth rather than self-directed thinkers.

Current diagnosis on 2012-03-16.

diagnosis

He argues that China's system blocks the intrinsic motivation required by a knowledge economy because students are trained to succeed inside the school system rather than learn for their own growth.
