Its sole purpose is to generate standard responses.

And the standard response kills the creativity of the Chinese people.

Children who have grown up thus lacks independence ...

the ability to adapt to social changes ...

or the ability to ask critical questions.

I still am in a sense optimistic that countries such as China is concerned.

I hope they will see where the road leads to go ...

and that they are also prepared ...

with respect to the future and the present to make other considerations than us.

We have definitely achieved a lot.

We have a long tradition on which to build. But...

in this world where we face new challenges every day ...

that is not sufficient.

Chinese students get compared to other students the least sleep ...

studying the longest, have the biggest examination pressure and are the least happy.

In essence, they are jealous of their parents ...

which can sleep late on weekends and evenings can watch TV.

Their being deprived of the right to relaxation.

Since given the first class they hate learning.

There is also much to be desired.

There's a tremendous pressure to perform in school.

High demands are placed on the students.

That is certainly not what you want for your children ...

and what you yourself would not accept.

But against these demands ...

is on the other side all the support ...

you can wish.

This is the high jump.

Thus he took fifth place in the third grade.

This is the fourth in the high jump.

In the third, he finished second and fourth, he did even better.

In the fifth, he was third in the 400 meters.

'Uitmuntend student.'

Second place in high jump.

'Uitmuntend student.'

'"Studietopper."

First prize Mathematical Olympiad youth department, this year.

This is the fourth year.

No, in the fifth year he finished second. That was last year.

First place in the National Mathematics Olympiad ...

in fifth grade.

And this one...

Hang him to.

Nice.

Let me see.

Beautiful, huh?

Which is from 2012. The first prize.

Win there are only a few.

The next time you're there again.

Nowadays you often hear the following statement:

"Children can not lose at the starting line."

That shows that very small children ...

take part in the competition. The consequences are clear:

Our children win at the starting line, but ended up losing them.

Our students are not educated ...

to curious creative people ...

but to test machines.

Every year there are suicides around the entrance exams of universities.

And there are quite a lot.

The situation has historically never been as bad as now.

China reaches all parts of the highest scores in the PISA test ...

and serves as great example.

The OECD in the 90s education as an economic factor put on the agenda.
