I have an American friend who has lived in China for 5 years, and he more than once expressed his discontent about Chinese education system, "I will never send my children to study in China," he said, "Can you imagine? College students here do not even have their right to change their majors!" His word reveals something worth noting. China is famous for its exam-oriented education, a frigid national curriculum and college entrance examination. Many western experts argues that education should be specifically designed to meet every individual’s needs and interests, they have their points, yet for today’s China, the most effective education may , admit it or not, be an nonspecific education.

No one can deny that an education specifically designed to meet the individual needs will be truly effective. Students' talents and interests vary. No one has the right to decide one subject is more important than anther, or one good at math is superior than one has a talent for music.  Yet according to rules made by current educational system in China, all students are cultivated in one mode, without educators taking their differences into consideration. Entering any high school in China you may witness millions of students learning the same textbooks, doing the same exercise and prepare for the same examinations. Math, Chinese, English as well as several other subjects within the national curriculum are emphasized, one who has a gift for music, painting, dancing, cooking may find themselves hard to survive in campus. What they like are treated as useless in the myopia eyes of teachers and parents. They may try their best to learn the things that they neither like nor have a talent for, yet no matter how much they tried hardly could they catch up with their peers. Blindly teachers and parents regard them as stupid, sometimes they believe in that too. How unlucky these students are. How much Chinese educators owe them! If they could grow up under specific education, they will not receive so much unfair judgment and time that could had be used to make them excellent artists or cooks will not be wasted on something that they will never like or be good at. Students are like seedlings. They vary from each other a lot and deserve specific cares. How could one expect an apple tree to flourish if he cultivates it in the way he plants a banana tree?

However, although specific education is admirable and effective, it is not practical for contemporary Chinese students.

On the one hand, Chinese education system has not figure out a way to make good use of one's talents. A typical example is the comparison between China and Australia in how they treat students gifted in math. In Australia a center consists of many experienced educators may give the parents many useful specific tips and keep in contact with parents ensuring their kids growing up in an environment that could strengthen their potential best. While in China students shows gifts in math will be sent to Olympic schools where they are trained to be an exam machine who is quick in doing exercise and good at taking exams so that one day they may achieve a high mark in the nationwide Olympic competition, which, in most teachers and parents' eyes, is more important that developing a student's talents. In achieving this, students have to take numerous exercise each day, through which process their interests will gradually fade away. China fail to produce famous math experts these years, the only one was Tao Zhexuan, who was brought up in Australia , showed a talents for math at an early age, and received a special care from local educational system.

Another problem lies in that with so large a population and overall educational resources limited, a national curriculum and college entrance examination may be the best way to ensure that every one could has a fair chance to be admitted by colleges. After all what other methods can people expect to be more objective than scores, which can neither be tampered nor depends on several people’s subjective preference?

In conclusion, admittedly, education specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student will be truly effective, yet for China, an nonspecific education may be the best choices presently.
