China’s education fever is widely reported; its educational failings less so
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitask. The book summed up China’s shortcomings with a striking statistic. Only 30% of its working-age population has a high-school education or better. Instead many Chinese workers dropped out after the compulsory nine years of schooling. Many older workers did not get even that far.

An answer can be found in the detailed results of China’s full 2020 census, which were recently published.
