British students may soon study mathematics with Chinese textbooks after a “historic” deal between HarperCollins and a Shanghai publishing house in which books will be translated for use in UK schools.
China’s wealthy cities, including Shanghai and Beijing, produce some of the world’s top-performing maths pupils, while British students rank far behind their counterparts in Asia.
HarperCollins’s education division signed an agreement to release a series of 36 maths books at the London Book Fair, the state-run China Daily reported, with Colin Hughes, managing director of Collins Learning, calling it “historic”.

“To my knowledge this has never happened in history before – that textbooks created for students in China will be translated exactly as they have been developed, and sold for use in British schools,” the China Daily quoted Hughes as saying.
The textbook deal is part of wider cooperation between the UK and China, and the government hopes to boost British students’ performance in maths, Hughes added.
Chinese schools, represented by those in the wealthier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, as well as Jiangsu province, ranked fifth in maths scores, according to a recent global study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The UK lagged far behind, ranking 27th and tied with Portugal and the Czech Republic in maths achievement.
The report also noted that one in four students in China, along with Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, receive top marks in maths, a higher proportion than anywhere else.
Experts worry the textbooks alone cannot solve Britain’s maths problem, saying the fundamentals of the education systems are too different.
Why are we blindly following the Chinese approach to teaching maths?

“Britain and China’s education evaluation system is very different. In the required subjects, Chinese schools follow a high standard of uniform requirements because most of the Chinese students need to participate in the university entrance examination, so mathematics will be too difficult [for the British],” said Xiong Bingqi, an education expert at Shanghai Jiaotong University and the vice-president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute.
“The British education system puts too much emphasis on individuals and ignores problems of the collective.”

Last year the British government announced it would spend £41m to support half of England’s primary schools in adopting maths teaching methods from Asia. The Department for Education (DfE) has also flown in teachers from China, in an attempt to improve the UK’s flagging standards.
But even China’s own commentators have warned their system is not perfect.
“Some uphold Chinese education as being better than that in western countries, it is also not without its problems,” said an opinion piece in the Beijing Youth Daily following the announcement of the textbook deal. “It lacks respect for children’s creativity and is too exam-oriented.”
The book deal is not the first to bring south Asian-style maths to English classrooms. Oxford University Press already publishes Inspire Maths, a primary maths programme based on the Singapore maths series My Pals are Here! which is used in almost 100% of Singapore’s state primary schools.
The textbooks from Singapore, and now China, will help deliver the DfE’s ambitions for half of all primary schools in England – more than 8,000 in total – to adopt what is known as the south Asian mastery approach to maths.
The schools minister, Nick Gibb, has described it as “one of the most valuable education initiatives undertaken by our government over the past few years”. The mastery approach involves a whole-class approach to teaching maths. Each lesson concentrates on a single mathematical concept, which is covered in great depth, and the class does not move on until every child has mastered the lesson.
In Singapore or Shanghai a class will, for example, spend an entire lesson learning about the commutative law of multiplication. Pupils taught in England might learn how to do the maths, without being taught the law behind it. English pupils are also moved on more quickly from one topic to another and children in the same class are often given different work to do depending on their progress.
English pupils may get the same books, but critics say there are significant differences between south Asian schools and those in England, which make it difficult to replicate the mathematical success of Singapore and Shanghai.

In a Shanghai school, if a pupil has not fully understood the lesson, there is often additional teaching on the same day to ensure they are ready to start the next day’s lesson at the same point as the rest of the class. Resources are likely to be more limited in an English classroom.
Another key difference is that students in south Asian countries are likely to get far more homework, which reinforces the day’s studies. Many will also have private tutoring and attend weekend school.
There are also huge differences in teacher training and deployment. Primary school maths teachers in Shanghai are specialists, who will have spent five years at university studying primary maths teaching. They teach only maths, for perhaps two hours a day, and the rest of the day is spent debriefing, refining and improving lessons. English primary teachers, in contrast, are generalists, teaching all subjects, all of the time.
The government’s £41m funding over four years will be used to train 700 teachers to support schools in maths mastery, to buy textbooks and pay for teacher release so teachers can be trained. Some experts have questioned whether the money might be spent more usefully, particularly given concerns about school funding.
The UK publisher’s interest in Chinese textbooks has been a source of pride for China in the past. When HarperCollins published a supplementary maths text in 2015, the Global Times, a nationalist newspaper controlled by the Communist party, said: “Textbook’s publication in UK validates Chinese education.”

Not many have been talking about this aspect of the free bonto education that Akufo-Addo is promising. What is good with free if it is of poor quality?

It is alright to have had free education for pupils of particular regions, for sixty years and counting. But when it gets to free education for all pupils of Ghana, we will have people with fertile minds of certain persuasion, to speak and argue forcefully against it. Perhaps, unknown to the author and all who would want to stand against free SHS, because according to their exceptional knowledge, it is not a good policy. Should be told, the supposed imperfect and poor quality system operated exclusively, in the three Northern Regions, has produced two ex- presidents, two vice presidents, and a number of top professionals and administrators, serving the nation well, with all it's imperfections. Right in the cities and big towns across Ghana, there a lot of teenagers who are out of school and are without skills. Their problem is simply that their parents cannot afford to pay for their fees and upkeep. The parents are poor, making a living that is only able to make them live from hand to mouth. How long should a responsible nation keep a large army of its citizens in perpetual economic slavery. Why should we argue around relatively few rich persons, with the view to throwing a spanner in the wheels of progress. SHS, here we come. It is the sure way to go, to bridge the gap between the rich and poor and to bring enlightenment to our people.

If I read the author correctly, I don't think he is against Free Education as such. He is just arguing that we are concentrating the debate on freebies rather than the more important issue of the quality of education we are offering in the first place.
What is the use of free if it is of poor quality?
I think the production of presidents is more a factor of politics and individual aspirations than of the quality of education one receives. If a region produces two presidents, it cannot be taken as a sign of the quality of education in that region.

The fee free is also an area that could bring progress to students and also serves as impetus. Nkruma started this scheme in the north. Take it or leave it. It has come stay. Go and burn the sea
