Abstract
Modern processes of internationalization of education create the need to study and analyze the features of education systems in different states. The high position of Chinese education, close proximity and cooperation with the PRC prompted us to consider the specific features of the Chinese education system. The Chinese education system, along with the world’s leading educational trends, is also characterized by traditional cultural and spiritual guidelines. The need to reform the Chinese education system is dictated by the fact that the country is experiencing rapid economic growth and, therefore, needs highly qualified specialists, that is, highquality and affordable education. The status and value of education among all segments of the population is rising. In addition to the education of children, educational institutions are also engaged in extensive educational work. In general, having adopted the system of Soviet pedagogy, since 1978, the PRC has been going through certain stages of reforming the education system, ranging from restoring the school education system and raising the status of a teacher to improving the quality and accessibility of education for ordinary people. In the article, we have reviewed the modern system of Chinese education, consisting of preschool education, school education and higher education. The study of the system and modern trends of Chinese education, as well as the education systems of other countries, makes it possible to enrich the educational system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, adopting the strengths and successful pedagogical experience.
