FSUSD leader visits China, sees stark differences between school systems – The Reporter

Recently returned from an educational trip to China, Fairfield-Suisun Unified Superintendent Kris Corey said one of the most surprising aspects of Chinese schools are class sizes of 55 or more and high schools of 10,000.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Reporter, Corey, a Vacaville resident, compared the U.S. education system with the Chinese, but her observations and impressions largely touched on stark differences between the two.

The large class sizes she witnessed in Xiamen, a port town in the southeastern province of Fujian (directly west of Taiwan), were common “even in first grade.”
