Catholic Education in China
- In the Code
-
Canon 795 Education is 1) complete formation of the human person, 2) directed to final end (the concept would depend on context: China, happiness, friendship, love. They want love, but don't see this as God.) can there be education without this? Chinese education strives to all the other ends: but final end is a problem. There is a question in Chinese society to see when there is a turmoil about the social traditions in society as well as in tension with the Catholic minority. The education is true, but just not like Western.
3) common good of societies. 4) develop talents, 5) sense of responsibility and freedom, 6) active participation in social life.
- Catholic education
-
is one type of true edcation, based in Xn faith, in Catholic institutions (in the west, parish, religious and diocese). Talking about God, limits God, can't say the whole truth. There is a balance between education to final end and education for the good of society. Secular education will be more directed to common good, Religious education more to final end. No human being can escape the question of the final end, but it will be expressed diversely. Are we focusing on the signs of catholic education, or on the inner reality, or on both? Catechetics isn't catholic education because it isn't broad enough.
- Chinese Context
-
Elementary (6 years), Middle School (3 years) - manditory to this level. High School (3 years). Mostly state schools. Private schools have hard time attracting teachers, salary and benefits. National examination afterh High School for entrance into university. The exam is designed to pass only enough students to fill the university places available. Curriculum established by the state. Some universities have religious studies departments in the philosophy department - from cultural point of view, professors are non-believers. Party education institutions - not recognized by education department, and you don't have to take the national institution. In chinese law, education and religion separate, no religious schools. But religions can have training schools, e.g. language training. Institutes of higher studies without university or ecclesialstical faculty.
- Religious Institutions
-
5 recognized religions that can have institutions: 74 religious colleges. No national exam required, and not recognized in education system (like party colleges), not for lay people. They have higher (4 years) or middle level (2 or 3 years). Operation by national religious body.
- Lay Catholic Education
-
Family, foreign education, religious studies department in universities, Institutes of higher studies for university graduates. Since 1980s education is much different in China, very open to the west. The older generations distrusted this generations. But these kids flocked to help the earthquake victims - this showed was seen by others as a good sign for the wealth of this generation and new education. BISCC is not legal for chinese or canon law, but it is accepted by both. They study the meeting of catholic culture and chinese culture.
