Curriculum reform refers to the introduction of a new set of teaching materials in China in 2003, which is compiled according to the new curriculum standards. It is somewhat different from the previous teaching, and the requirements of the examination pay more attention to the application of ability.

The experimental area of curriculum reform refers to the experimental area of new textbooks designated by the state, which is of course the most influential area in China.

Non-curriculum reform experimental area continues to be the area where the original syllabus runs through the teaching.
