Primary school kids, Chinese Childrens



Youth Research Centre, a branch under the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences conducted a research, wherein they visited nearly 3,000 families in few localities. The main target behind the survey was to know the educational expectations that the parents have from their children.



Almost ninety percent of the parents said that they want their children to go for higher education - a university graduate.



Many believe that without being a university graduate, life will be a total failure. Among the interviewees, almost 45% of them wanted their child to get a masters degree.



However, the pressure is more on the boys and the girls are spared, because they are not expected to have a successful career.



Experts say that too much pressure on the child may lead to unnecessary hassle such as depression and mental trauma.
