<p>Has there been a revolution in higher education in China in the last 20 years?</p>

<p>The few engineering hires that I met 20 years ago from mainland China were almost comical in their unwillingness to make a decision.</p>

<p>Lately the Chinese engineers have been pretty much ideal in their questioning attitudes, their delving into problems and direction until the technical solution was clear and correct.</p>

<p>I don’t know specifics, but I do know that there is a movement toward “experimental” schools in some major cities – some links:

<p>I haven’t really been able to get much information about what an “experimental school” means, but I do think they represent some changes in the Chinese educational system.</p>
