活动主题：

中国和西方的教育系统有哪些异同？西方有没有类似高考的制度？两个系统对考试成绩的重视程度是否相同？课堂形式如何？教学风格、社会互动、学生人数和家庭作业时长有什么不同？这些因素又是如何为毕业生带来实际、可用和有意义的好处的呢？初等教育、中等教育和大学教育之间又有哪些区别？

可以肯定的是，任何国家的教育体系都不完美。事实上，世界各地的教育体系都有严重的缺陷。在这个过程中，我们可以通过了解彼此教育体系的相似点和不同点，更好地理解对方。让我们展开一场聪明、开放且没有偏见的讨论吧！

​

How are the education systems different and similar in China and the West?  Is there a Western equivalent of the Gaokao? Do both systems assign equal importance to test scores? What about the format in classrooms? Teaching styles? Social interaction? Numbers of students? Hours of homework? And how does this all relate to actual, useable, meaningful benefits to graduates afterwards? And what about the differences between primary, secondary, and university-level education?

One thing is for sure, no education system in any country is perfect. In fact, one can certainly argue that education systems around the world are heavily flawed. In this club, we'll try to better understand each other by getting an idea of the similarities and differences in how we're all educated. Let's have an intelligent, open-minded, and judgment-free discussion!
