I live and work in China where I am also going to school online through Ashford University in the states. One of my assignments is to write a paper about my community and apply it to some different theories I am learning about in my human conduct class.I think that the educational system here definantly is out to create the most good for the most amount of people however it leaves many behind (utilitarian) I chose to write about the educational system here because I mingle with several college students who often talk about their days in high school and the dreaded college entrance exam. Can somebody guide me in the right direction as I am sure there is people out there who know more about the system than I. Am I right about the theory or am I way off base? Critisizm is very welcome. Thanks!

The education system in China is a form of utilitarianism. However, the education system there is similar to those of many other countries. The reason behind this is because there aren't enough schools and teachers out there to teach all of the students in the country. Therefore, the government creates standardized tests to determine which students are more "fit" to attend higher education.

the educational system in China is not built for
utilitarianism. But the influence of traditional culture and materialization of the society push students and parents to do so.
