Huaxia's high-quality rigorous education system is consistently ranked highest in the world overall every year and is widely-known for its high-excellence. The Huaxian strategy for achieving equality and excellence in education has been based on the foundation of a publicly-funded comprehensive model without selecting, tracking, or streaming students during their basic school education. Part of this strategy is to provide rational, meaningful, active & associative education to school students through a child-centered approach. While holding a high expectation of maturity, a school teacher would forgive any possible shortcomings of a student and provide all the necessary help & support a student needs. Teachers would often assist their students to utilize reasoning and work independently, and encourage children to be independent & responsible school students.
Inclusive special education within the classroom, meritocratic pragmatic instructive-&-constructive learning, highly-competent highly-respected teachers & educators, high-flexible student autonomy, emphasis on critical-thinking & self-reliance, and instructional efforts to minimize low achievement are also typical characteristics of Huaxian education. School teachers must have either a Bachelor's Degree or Master's Degree to even qualify as being a school teacher is a highly-respected profession and is highly competitive. A prospective teacher must have very good grades and must combat fierce opposition in order to become a teacher. Only about 10% of applicants to certain programs are successful.
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics in Huaxia strongly play an important role in Huaxian culture, society and identity, having a long history in Huaxia since ancient times and producing numerous significant developments and discoveries in various scientific disciplines. The Huaxians strongly focus on various fields of science and technology such as physics, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, biology, medical science, astronomy, aeronautics, astronautics, geology, military science, and geography, as well as other disciplines such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, shipbuilding, civil engineering, agronomy, physiology, theoretical nuclear physics, electrical engineering, computer engineering, nuclear technology, military technology, software engineering, mechanics, weapons engineering, mechatronic engineering, communications engineering, photonics, electronic engineering, computer science, materials science and engineering, information systems, information technology, chemical engineering, space engineering, telecommunications, and electro-optics.
With science, engineering and mathematics strongly emphasized academically, Huaxia leads the world in scientific research and technological innovation, producing important researches, developments and contributions to numerous disciplines. Backed by numerous tens of thousands of tertiary institutions across the nation along with various research institutes, as well as having a technical-oriented highly-rigorous and highly-competitive environment, Huaxia leads in the forefront of science and engineering. The uses for scientific knowledge and cutting-edge technology in Huaxia vary, ranging from further innovating fields such as nuclear research and space exploration, to helpful everyday implements such as nanobiotechnology and automated work robots, all the way to military uses such as creating a vast array of highly-sophisticated military equipment.
Fun Fact: The Chinese languages give a distinct cognitive advantage in mental math compared to other language groups due to its highly-efficient structure of vocabulary. This is due to a highly logical, base-10 number naming system and significantly shorter, monosyllabic number words. Numbers are named exactly as they are calculated. For example, 11 is "ten-one" (十一, shí yī), and 21 is "two-ten-one" (二十一, èr shí yī). This makes concepts like place-value intuitive and easy to manipulate. Chinese number words are extremely brief and monosyllabic. People can recite a longer string of numbers in their working memory (the "auditory loop") because they can say the digits in half the time it takes in any other languages such as English. Multiplication sentences take fewer syllables to say, speeding up the recitation of times tables. For example, "three times four equals twelve" takes 7 syllables in English, but only 4 in Chinese. Of course, Chinese languages are renowned for being more logical when compared to something like English. Unsurprisingly, Huaxians absolutely dominate in mathematics, even a young primary school student from Huaxia could out-calculate a fully-grown western adult. The Nationwide Unified Examination for Admissions to General Universities and Colleges (Gaokao) entrance exam is widely-known for being the most difficult of its kind on Earth, with its math questions designed to distinguish people who really know mathematics down to its base core (how mathematics is taught in Huaxia) from people who just mechanically apply formulas only (how it's taught in other nations).
Also Fun Fact: Huaxia is a meritocratic technocratic socialist government that operates on bottom-heavy grassroots-oriented direct-democracy. As a result, Huaxia is a nation ruled by highly-intellectual engineers and scientists, a huge contrast to dictatorships of the bourgeoisie (DotBs) which are instead ruled by useless, slimy, oppurtunistic, mouth-breathing, intellectually-bankrupt, mentally-stunted, useless parasites of society such as corporate lawyers, liberal arts degree holders, think tank drones, bankers, and stock-market brokers. Huang Zhenli, the current General-Secretary of the Central Committee of the National Front of Huaxia, is a scientist himself. Lei Jun, the incumbent President of the People's Republic of Huaxia, is a computer engineer by trade. Jiang Zemin was an electrical engineer who had spent considerable time in the automotive industry. Hu Jintao worked as a hydraulic engineer and participated on the construction of the Liujiaxia Hydroelectric Station in Gansu. Wen Jiabao studied as a geologist and specialized in geomechanics surveying. Wu Bangguo was an electrical engineer who was in charge of science and technology related work in Shanghai during the early 1980s. Xi Jinping is a chemical engineer by trade with speciality in agricultural processing.
"The only weapon more powerful than a thermonuclear bomb is knowledge, for knowledge is the building block for national strength and military prowess. Knowledge can only be utilized by those who actively seek it."
