i suppose we do have precedent for this sort of thingpic.twitter.com/5xOoWQWIbB
the next chapter is a closer look at china's urban/rural divide in education attaching some graf's and such basically there is a segregated education system and rural-classified students (supermajority) are and have historically been hosedpic.twitter.com/RXMJzRNnqV
perhaps they should take out loanspic.twitter.com/2Rb7YfJ0XG
chapter wraps up with two additional claims which he will elaborate on later 1. "academic" high schools are probably fine but most students go to "vocational" diploma mills 2. in aggregate rural kids are probably stunted on account of malnutrition
as an aside im surprised that these numbers (eg education rates) are available abroad I would have expected CCP to either goose them or suppress them because they look pretty bad not sure what to make of this

wondered about this like maybe china has a different view of what looks bad than the outside worldhttps://twitter.com/samlevine/status/1415487307973492736?s=19 …

chapter five seems to be a discussion of the vocational high school system, which is mostly free (unlike academic high schools) and modeled after germanys system so far they sound like normal high schools in that theyre not useful for getting jobspic.twitter.com/PGCWWvGQpC
apparently the vocational high school thing was a 2002 initiative that actually made it into provincial policy goaling very excited to see how Campbell's Law played outpic.twitter.com/YntuTKxoVv

honestly though he's ticking through problems with the high schools (no one is learning anything, students are smoking in class, whatever) and comparing this to public high schools in a typical American city and im mostly thinking "looks like china has finally made it"
it is disappointing to me that the authors are allegedly economists and discussing the topic of education and have not mentioned Spence even once
more anecdotes. apparently vocational majors are determined by policymakers rather than potential employers. this has led to things like students majoring in abacus use and repairing telephone booths and VCRs
overall im coming away suspecting that chinas vocational schools are indeed completely worthless as educational institutions but nb it probably wouldnt have taken much for me to believe this
