A Comparative Study Between Chinese Exam-oriented Education and International Baccalaureate

Abstract: In recent years, more and more International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in China have gained widespread attention. Many students choose the Chinese Exam-oriented Education system and the IB system, but because some of them have not studied international education, they do not understand the Chinese Exam-oriented Education system and the IB system, or even the differences between these two education systems. This paper aims to research the differences and ensure which is more suitable for different kinds of children. This paper analyses and concludes that there are a lot of differences between the two systems of education in curriculum system and education management, which can bring certain positive and negative effects, such as enhancing international perspective and too much high stress. Based on this, this paper proposes the following suggestions. Firstly, teachers' understanding and respect for students should be strengthened so that they can understand how to help students better. Secondly, the number of assignments and quizzes for students should be reduced.
