05Feb A Mountain of Textbooks in Henan High School
Perhaps the amount of textbooks you used during your education years didn’t add up to the textbooks used by each student of the high school in Henan, China.
Arthur Baby (nickname) went back to his alma mater Taikang One High for a visit. He took some photos and posted online to show apart from the high grain yield, Henan also had high production of textbooks. He said that there are too few places for Henan college entrance examination. The competitive pressure was really high there. He said each student had 34 textbooks.
He said a third grade high school student’s desk must have:
- One Modern Chinese Dictionary (very thick)
- One English Dictionary (very thick)
- Basic College Entrance Examination Language Knowledge Practice Book (Compulsory Purchase)
- At least one Language Textbooks (some texts need to be memorized)
- At least one Mathematics Exam Revision Information (Compulsory Purchase)
- At least one English Exam Revision Information (Compulsory Purchase)
- At least one English Textbooks (Need to memorize words everyday)
- At least one Comprehensive Exam Revision Information (Compulsory Purchase)
- At least six Notebooks (Language, Maths, etc.)
- Very thick draft papers
Some students also buy several copies of English weekly, mathematics examination exercises, and other examination papers.
The student drawers also filled with self-help books, magazines, comics, gaming console, CDs, cup, mp3, mirror, comb, tissues, and snacks.
Some people reflected that the amount of textbooks Henan high school students used were nothing compared to theirs. Many people were glad that they already left the hell.
