According to the report, the reason why this incident caused such great concern is probably because modern education developed earlier in the West than in Asia. For a long time, most Asian countries have learned and introduced from western countries such as the United States and Britain. It is new for western countries to introduce basic education products from China in such a big way.
On the surface, the introduction of Shanghai textbooks is because the mathematics level of British primary and secondary school students is not high as a whole. In fact, the level of mathematics education in Britain is not bad, especially in higher education. Mathematics majors in Cambridge and Oxford have always been among the best in the world.
China, a teacher who teaches mathematics in a British university, said that the mathematics of English native students is seriously polarized at the undergraduate stage, with a few students doing well and most students doing poorly. By the postgraduate stage, the mathematics ability of local students is higher than that of international students.
I hope more educational methods can be continuously integrated and innovated!
