Presentation of the topic

In the last few years, schooling in the UK has become a heated topic. The British educational system is not as highly regarded as before, as it is compared with the East Asian educational systems, especially the Chinese one. Some people wish to adopt some of the Chinese habits regarding school and education, believing that they would only bring positive changes. Others insist on pointing out the deficiencies of the Chinese system, while others focus on the faults of school itself, not of the systems.
