THE "IMPORTANT VIEWPOINTS" OF G.S XI JINPING ON CHINESE EDUCATIONAL REFORM AND DEVELOPMENT: LESSONS FOR AFRICAN EDUCATION

D. Degreume

Abstract


China has made significant investments in education since its reform and opening up. Today, China not only has the best education system in the world but also high-quality education, which is an excellent model for other countries, particularly African countries. As the country's leader and first actor, China's General Secretary Xi Jinping has delivered an unbroken stream of encouraging speeches in support of the country's long-term development and modernization of education. In his 2018 speech, Xi Jinping underlined the need to understand the "Nine-persistence" of education reform and development. It is obvious that Africa must take note of President Xi Jinping's significant remarks on the reform and growth of education in order to better the education system on the continent as China's first economic partner and closest ally. What may therefore be learned about Chinese education from General Secretary Xi Jinping's "Nine-persistence"? By making use of pertinent sources, this study attempted to provide an answer.
