It is exam week at Chinese School but, after recent discipline problems, the Chinese teachers are playing catch-up against their British counterparts. Can their 50 kids knuckle down for the exams and show benefits from the Chinese approach? And which system will triumph, the Chinese or the British?

00:02In a sleepy Hampshire village, battle lines have been drawn.
00:09Five Chinese teachers have come to shake up the British education system.
00:14Discipline is really important. Without discipline, you don't learn well.
00:21British pupils are falling behind in the international race.
00:25Our students' academic achievement is three years ahead of you.
00:30One.
00:31The Chinese have come to prove that even a high-achieving school has a lot to learn.
00:37Cheers!
00:39We are here to bring you the unique Chinese style of teaching.
00:45Class begins.
00:48Morning, class.
00:49Good morning, teachers.
00:51Everybody can get full marks. Just use your brain.
00:55What brain?
00:58At first, the Chinese way of teaching produced a rebellion in the class.
01:02Hey, I'm not doing any of this.
01:04I've never seen a student like yours.
01:07I feel sorry for the teachers. We're horrible.
01:09Now, the kids face the stress of the final exams.
01:13A bit overwhelming, I think.
01:15Arms straight!
01:16And time is running out for the teachers to turn the class around.
01:19Stand outside, please.
01:21Don't blame me.
01:22If you can't be bothered to revise, then you are lazy.
01:27Will the British or Chinese teaching system come out on top?
01:31So I am genuinely really quite terrified to open this envelope.
01:37Hey, I can see you.
01:38One, two, three!
01:52It's not even half bloody seven.
01:55Didn't sleep at all last night.
01:57Not even one minute.
01:59Apparently I don't try hard enough.
02:01Neither do I.
02:02Apparently I'm an embarrassment to Bohun.
02:05It's the final week of the Chinese experiment at Bohun School in Hampshire.
02:10Three, two, one.
02:13And the teachers feel they're beginning to whip their 50 British students into shape.
02:19Don't stop.
02:21Don't give up.
02:22Don't give up.
02:24In Chinese school, PE is all important.
02:28Now, sit down, please.
02:30Yeah.
02:30Once you come here, go there, sit down.
02:33And the kids are having to get used to the Chinese way.
02:36You're late.
02:37You're late.
02:38Also, sit down, Alex.
02:40If they are not on time, we will give them extra exercise.
02:45So they have to do set-up.
02:47How many?
02:4720.
02:48You ready?
02:4920.
02:4920 sit-ups.
02:51Go.
02:52Go.
02:53In China, PE is part of the national exam that decides which senior high school you get into.
03:00It's a very important test.
03:03Those students practice a long time.
03:05They do very good.
03:06Many of them can get full marks.
03:09In a week's time, the kids face their own final PE exam, where they will be tested, ranked,
03:16and told if they have passed or failed.
03:18I've learned in Britain, the children can choose what they like to do.
03:24But Chinese students, they cannot choose.
03:26They focus on the test.
03:28They want to get full marks.
03:30We're training them like a machine, just training, training, training.
03:35Today, we will introduce medicine ball.
03:38We will test how you can slow.
03:41The distance will measure.
03:43In this training session, Miss Wang is being assisted by bow hunt PE teacher Anna Hogg.
03:49Girls, to get 10 out of 10, 10 marks, you need to throw 7.6 metres.
03:54To pass it, you need to throw 5.6 metres.
04:02It's very competitive.
04:03All the things we've done so far have been against other people, making it almost like
04:07a mini competition.
04:09Philippa, be so kind to keep her here.
04:11If there is someone who's not very good at PE, but then is very skilled in the academic
04:16side of things like maths and English, I do think it would be unfair for them if they
04:21couldn't get into the top science and maths colleges just because they can't do sport.
04:26Everybody have to practice two times.
04:28Now we start to measure your maths.
04:31This is the line.
04:32Just practice here.
04:33You have to throw it.
04:36What if you throw it further?
04:38What if you throw it further, you've passed.
04:41Oh!
04:43In China, your entire future can rest on one throw of a 2kg medicine ball.
04:50A bit weird.
04:52It's just throwing a ball.
04:55But it's a really heavy one.
04:5714-year-old Philippa has been one of the highest performing students in the Chinese school.
05:02We are Kinos.
05:04Cleaning the ball.
05:05We are Kinos.
05:07She's led the way academically and embraced the regimented approach.
05:11I hope that as this amazing experience continues, I will learn more about Chinese culture and teaching
05:18style.
05:21I think someone would probably call me Kino because it basically just means someone who's enthusiastic
05:28and lessons.
05:29But this is one subject in the Chinese system that Philippa can't conquer.
05:37I hate this!
05:40Don't throw.
05:41Push.
05:42I can't.
05:43I can't clear the yellow line.
05:46Three meters and seven.
05:47So that gets you one mark.
05:49You just need, you know, 30 more centimeters and you'll be done.
05:51You know, a ruler's length.
05:52And then you'll be fine.
05:54She got 5.3 and she's really good.
05:57How did you do on the run?
05:58I don't remember.
06:00How are you doing sit-ups?
06:01It's the only one you haven't really good at.
06:03Yeah.
06:04I don't even care about passing.
06:05I just think it's really bad.
06:07Like...
06:08Why?
06:08I just don't think comparing yourself to others is a good, healthy lifestyle.
06:13This is the experience, isn't it?
06:16And this is what it's like.
06:17I know it is, but it's just that they're used to doing it.
06:19It's just a shock to us because we've never done this sort of, like, competition every
06:23week.
06:25I'm a perfectionist, so I get really hard on myself.
06:27I'm really self-critical.
06:28I just don't think competitions like this is my sort of thing.
06:34Right, you need to stop, okay?
06:36Stop.
06:37I can't stop.
06:38But you can.
06:38You can stop because you have to concentrate on the things that you are good at.
06:41There's nothing to hide.
06:43There's nothing to be ashamed of.
06:45Okay, you need to hold your head up high.
06:46You've been trying so hard, okay?
06:49But listen to me.
06:52This is how it is.
06:54Let's go get a drink and calm down.
06:56You've taken on board what I've said.
07:07It's really hit home to me why we set students in PE.
07:12But effectively, this Chinese way, they're being told that their best isn't good enough.
07:18It just puts so much pressure on them to pass, and if they don't pass, they feel like a failure.
07:23And it just breaks my heart to see students get so upset.
07:38I don't get it.
07:41I don't get it.
07:45I don't get it.
08:01I don't get it.
08:05I don't get it.
08:13I don't get it.
08:18I'm learning to now, and I do, I do do my work, kind of thing, and I am actually learning
08:22some stuff.
08:22What is needed for photosynthesis to take place?
08:26So, what is it?
08:27Carbon dioxide.
08:29Carbon dioxide.
08:30Water.
08:30Water.
08:31And then the sunlight.
08:32Okay, you've got three, right?
08:35That's very good.
08:36Oh.
08:37Come on everyone.
08:38I do have a really long time.
08:54Li Ai-Win teaches in an elite school in Nanjing
08:59You are late, look at the clock
09:01She's used to quiet, obedient pupils
09:04And has struggled to keep control of the rowdier British teenagers
09:09But Miss Li finally seems to have taken control of her class
09:12You cannot always come back late and say sorry
09:17From now on, if you are late
09:22Everybody will be here during lunch break
09:24For ten minutes
09:26So you're punishing everyone?
09:28Guys, shush
09:29If she's like this all day, we are stuffed
09:33The teachers, they're not as much as the pushovers as they were originally
09:37So I think people are now starting to listen
09:40And actually are starting to take notes and stuff in class
09:43And are starting to learn
09:44Because they're realising that it's not just for fun
09:48It's like a school, isn't it?
09:51We are now in a very competitive world
09:56I don't want you to feel regretful when you look back at now in the future
10:03I'm a teacher, but sometimes I have to put on a face like, you know, a strict teacher
10:11Please take out the grammar book
10:15The third week has gone
10:17And you have only one more week
10:20It's like our time is so limited
10:25The most important thing in doing passive voice
10:29Is to find the subject and the object
10:34In just one week, the students of the Chinese school
10:38And the rest of Bowhunt Year 9
10:41Will sit exams set by an independent research body
10:44To compare the two teaching systems
10:48That skirt is horrific
10:50Can we unroll it, please?
10:52Is it OK?
10:53Yeah, I am talking to you
10:54Head teacher Neil Stroger has been keeping a close eye on progress
11:01Hi
11:01So Ms. Li asked me when objective clause is following prepositions
11:09We've had a difficult beginning, the Chinese teachers
11:12But things are improving
11:13Now is when we will see whether the students respond to that
11:17And whether that will show us that this really is the best way
11:21Turn to page 16, please
11:24If you don't have any questions, we'll move on
11:27I think as head teacher, I hate to lose
11:30So I will be absolutely gutted
11:32If we find out that the Chinese method is indeed the best way
11:36That will be a bitter pill to swallow
11:40Yes, excellent, very good, excellent
11:42But with the kids now buckling down
11:45The rigid Chinese teaching seems to be having an effect
11:48Can you tell me how to say have, has or head in Chinese?
11:53You
11:53You, yes, can you repeat it?
11:57You
11:57You, well done, how about you?
11:59It's all about repetition and copying notes from the board
12:02Please repeat after me
12:04You
12:05You
12:06You
12:07You
12:08You
12:09You
12:09You
12:09You
12:09You
12:10Four weeks ago, Mandarin teacher Zhao Wei's pupils didn't know a word of Chinese
12:16Okay
12:17You
12:17You
12:20You
12:21You
12:21You
12:22You
12:22You
12:22So which one?
12:23C
12:24C, yeah, just circle C, understand it?
12:26The Mandarin teacher, she's what I expected a Chinese teacher to be like
12:31Because she's strict and she's to the point and she's, she's scary
12:36Does anybody remember how to say elder brothers?
12:39I think she expects a lot more of us
12:42Oh yeah, on my homework one, she wrote, could try harder
12:46I got one thing wrong
12:48Rosie, the third sentence
12:50You
12:51What is
12:54You
12:5534
12:5634
12:5634 years old, excellent, okay
13:00Remember, in your exam on Thursday, you also need to write a composition
13:05We will have very, very typical Chinese lesson preparing for the exam
13:10Wǎ
13:12Wǎ
13:13They will do a lot of vision, you know, writing and everything, exercise
13:19They need to know, do they really learn something during this one month or they're just wasting
13:25their time and doing nothing
13:26Now your homework, write a short composition to introduce yourself
13:31Oh, that's all so complicated
13:36In the British section of Year 9, Bowhunt Head of Maths, Pete Whitworth, is also gearing up for the exam
13:43Today's lesson is your final lesson before your test on Thursday
13:48How would we find the area which is pleasing?
13:50You do half the sum of the parallel sides
13:53Okay, so let's do that then
13:54Which is 12 add 9, divide by 2
13:57Is she right?
13:59Mr Whitworth's class is much smaller
14:02And the kids have been grouped by ability
14:05His approach is also more personal
14:07This one, which one are you doing?
14:09With maths, you've got to put a bit of personality into it to make it a bit more fun
14:13You've got to get to know the students
14:14If you get the students on your side, you build a good relationship
14:17Where are we?
14:18Which one are you showing me?
14:19All of them
14:19You haven't put any work-ins with any of these?
14:21No, because these weren't any work-ins
14:23Okay, so these are all Pythagoras?
14:25It's important for me that the students come in and they enjoy maths
14:28That's a really big thing
14:30If they enjoy maths, then they're much more likely to want to do it
14:34What's the matter?
14:36Mr Whitworth may have a softly, softly approach in the classroom
14:39But he's deadly serious about the exams
14:42Anyone who knows me knows I'm insanely competitive
14:46And of course, I want my students to do well
14:49I want it to look like what we do at Bowhunt works
14:52And improve that
14:54Perfect
14:54Right, what we'll do is we will end it there
14:57I'm very much aware that I've set you a homework
15:00Of a double-page spread of revision
15:03Enjoy what's left this lovely afternoon
15:05See you later
15:06Be good
15:16We can't have a Chinese victory, can we?
15:19Good Lord, no
15:20That will be setting us back into the Dark Ages
15:23Having spoken to a few students today, I don't think we need to worry too much
15:27No, I'm not sure
15:28I spoke to a few who were like, well, I've got it all written down
15:31And I was like, well, do you understand it?
15:33And they were like, well, I've just got to learn it
15:35Well, let's see
15:35Is it all revision stuff now?
15:37I don't know, let's find out
15:39With the exams looming
15:40Mr Stroger and his head of school, Stuart Vaughan
15:43Check in on the Chinese school
15:45Come and talk to the lads at the back
15:47Hello, gents
15:50Talk me through how you're doing
15:52No, it's the volcano
15:54Right, we're working hard over here, I see
15:57Some of the students are doing really well
15:59And they're the ones that are sort of very keen and motivated
16:03One wonders whether these students wouldn't be sort of self-motivated
16:07Whatever the context
16:09It's going to be a numbers game
16:11We'll see what the majority do in the test
16:14Hello
16:15Hello
16:15Hi, nice to see you
16:17How are you?
16:18Fine
16:19Is it all right if I sit down?
16:21Yes, please do
16:24I've heard some students in there that are feeling quite confident with their maths
16:28Really?
16:29Oh, yeah
16:29I've got to hear that
16:31I'm not sure I'm very glad to hear that
16:33I'm a little bit worried
16:36If you win, we have to employ you for the next ten years
16:43I don't think it's going to happen
16:46Actually, I don't have a lot of confidence in them
16:49You don't have a lot of confidence?
16:50Interesting, I'll tell you something
16:52I have come up with one thing that is going to, you know, comfort me
16:57Should you win, well, win, should your students do better
17:01And that is that we have a great excuse to make a lot of savings and the budget
17:06And we will get rid of a lot of teachers
17:08And we'll put everyone in the sports hall with one teacher to just talk all day
17:13And we'll get great results for a lot less money
17:20Talking to the teachers, I'm feeling much better
17:23Because they are not at all confident about the tests
17:28So that's good news
17:30I think if actually the Chinese approach yields the better results
17:35We are going to have to have a really long, hard look at what we're doing
17:39And what we believe in
17:40Perhaps we are failing children still
17:42If they are doing better through a different method
17:51The Chinese school does have one big advantage
17:54The sheer number of hours
17:57After class is finished, there are two hours of self-study
18:02All in all, the kids in the Chinese school
18:04Have almost twice as long in class as their bow hunt counterparts
18:08I need your attention
18:09In China, teaching learning doesn't only take place in the classroom settings
18:16After class, that's when a lot of learning is taking place
18:27I miss having a social life so much
18:30Like the people you see in school
18:34That's all your friends
18:36Like that is it
18:37You can't have friends outside of school
18:39Or you can, like, you barely even see your own family
18:41Have you finished all of your homework?
18:45Okay
18:45But even with the new sense of dedication
18:48There are some distractions that can't be ignored
18:51Oh, my God
18:53Guys
18:53Is he?
18:55Yeah
18:56Zayn Malik has just left One Direction
18:58He hasn't left
19:02Zayn Malik left
19:03Zayn Malik has left One Direction
19:05One Direction
19:10Katrina, come here
19:11I feel it, I feel as well
19:12I'm so sorry
19:14I know
19:15It's okay
19:23It's fine
19:26It's Zayn Malik
19:29I have never, ever seen a Chinese in school
19:35Crying her eyeballs out
19:37Before the exam
19:39For a member of Popstar
19:42Leaving
19:43A pop band
19:46Come on, we need some fresh air
19:47Annabelle
19:49She's crying, she's really upset
19:50I'm gonna check his Twitter
19:52And see if he's tweeted anything, okay
19:54It's gonna be okay
19:56They all love the pop music
19:58They all, Chinese people do
20:00They're youngsters
20:00They love pop music as well
20:02But they have their priorities
20:04They set their priorities right
20:06Come on
20:07Before the exams
20:18At the heart of Chinese culture
20:21And Chinese academic success
20:23Is one thing
20:25Conformity
20:26Peace be quick
20:28The work of a Chinese school
20:30Is to mould children into model citizens
20:32Flag raisers
20:34Chinese education is about next generation
20:38Of Chinese citizens
20:45Next generation of Chinese leaders
20:47And every single child
20:50Has that desire
20:53To do well
20:55To serve their country
21:00At the weekly flag raising ceremony
21:03Chinese children are expected
21:04To make motivational speeches
21:06And it's no different here
21:08Hello
21:10As you're aware
21:11There are tests coming up later this week
21:13You've got two options for them
21:15Option one
21:17Is you don't revise
21:18And option two
21:19Is you revise
21:21If you pick option one
21:23Then you are lazy
21:24You can't be bothered
21:26To revise
21:27If you are really stuck
21:29Then ask a teacher for help
21:31But
21:32If you are stuck
21:33And you do not
21:34Ask a teacher for help
21:36And you fail the exam
21:37It is your own fault
21:39Not the teachers
21:40Yours
21:42So
21:43What are you going to do?
21:45Revise
21:46And succeed
21:47Or don't revise
21:48And be lazy
21:49And fail the exam
21:51Thank you
21:59It's not only in the rituals
22:01Of flag raising
22:02And morning exercise
22:03Where the collective spirit
22:04Is encouraged
22:08Chinese schools
22:09Reinforce social cohesion
22:11And conformity
22:12With classes in social education
22:14Nobody will only live by themselves
22:17All of us live in a community
22:20It's very important for us
22:22To communicate with each other
22:24In a proper way
22:25The subject is taught
22:27From kindergarten to university
22:28By members of the communist party
22:31Who work in every school
22:33I'm going to have breakfast
22:34Slash lunch
22:3614 year old Josh
22:38Has been one of the most troublesome kids
22:40In the Chinese school
22:43Keep quiet
22:46During the second week
22:47He brought in a kettle
22:48To make tea
22:49In protest against the long hours
22:51This is not all
22:54No, you cannot take this to classroom
22:56Totally not allowed
23:00I'm normally super hard working
23:03And in Chinese school
23:05This hasn't happened
23:06It's just sort of a complete personality change
23:09If you can rebel against something
23:11Can, you know, be different
23:15We are talking about communication qualities
23:19So in Bohan, in social education
23:21You're encouraged to form your own opinions
23:24Far more than in Chinese school
23:26You're dictated at all the time
23:28This is typical of a Chinese lesson
23:30You're told these facts
23:32And they will be right
23:33Because it's come from
23:35A more authoritative position
23:37Say a teacher
23:38And then headmaster than government
23:40Do you think equality is very important?
23:43Well, communism was about equality
23:45And that worked out well
23:49I think the Chinese education system
23:51It seems like sort of an industrial process to me
23:54You get batches of really intelligent kids
23:58Who have the same work ethic
24:00And I think it has its place
24:01But I'm not sure whether
24:03Its place is fully in England or not
24:07I accept myself as who I am
24:11A bit of a nook
24:17An advantage of the long Chinese school week
24:20Is that the teachers have more time to engage with their students
24:23Come here
24:26Miss Lee is trying to bring Josh into line
24:30These two days
24:33You don't behave as well as I expected
24:37So I just want to find a why
24:40Or do you have any solutions to
24:42Or do you have any suggestions
24:45You know
24:45You can tell that I've been mad
24:47Is that right?
24:49Yes
24:50And why?
24:52You really don't know
24:54I do know
24:55Please tell me
24:57I just talk
24:59I don't know
25:01Did you talk?
25:03Yes
25:03Why?
25:06Because I was uninterested
25:07Or I didn't get it
25:09You know
25:10I just want to do something to help
25:13Maybe
25:14It's fine
25:15I'm fine
25:16Okay
25:17But I hope that you can be more concentrated
25:19Since we don't have a lot of time left
25:21Yep
25:22Okay
25:24As a teacher
25:25I just try my best to encourage the students
25:28Because
25:29In China
25:30You have to compete with people around you
25:34In all kinds of examinations
25:36Okay
25:39I think I could really
25:41Yeah
25:41Really get high grades
25:42If I just
25:43Charged on and revised all the time
25:46I wouldn't do it though
25:47Because it
25:49Is
25:49As I say
25:50Not healthy
25:51I wouldn't
25:51That's not what I want for myself
25:53In China
25:54Individuality
25:56Is not encouraged
25:57We do everything for our country
25:59Which is very good
26:00I think
26:01England
26:02Need that
26:03Need that strength
26:04Need that solidarity
26:06But maybe
26:07The Chinese way of teaching
26:09To some extent
26:11Kills
26:13The students' imagination
26:17Freedom of thinking
26:19Critical thinking
26:21And creativity
26:25You just imagine
26:27One, two, three, four
26:30In China
26:32I would like to see
26:34Education
26:35Pay more
26:36Attention to
26:39Personality
26:40Right
26:41Or the potential
26:42Of each student
26:44That's it
26:45Right
26:46Okay
26:46Thank you
26:52That's the last thing
26:54Guys
26:55In the Chinese school
26:57Even the more fun parts
26:58Of the curriculum
26:59Seem to have
27:00Nationalist undertones
27:01Okay everybody
27:03Can you please
27:04Sit down please
27:06Shhh
27:07In Chinese martial arts
27:10This fan
27:11Is used as a weapon
27:12When you open it
27:14You open it sharp
27:19I bring fan dance
27:21To the students
27:24Because number one
27:25Fan dance
27:26Is very Chinese
27:27And also
27:29It's a form
27:31Of martial arts
27:34This story
27:36Is about
27:36The Chinese
27:37Military soldiers
27:39Fully prepared
27:40To defend
27:42Their country
27:43From foreign
27:44Intruders
27:45So
27:46When you perform
27:47You have that strength
27:49You have that
27:50Beats
27:51Okay
27:53Right
27:54Position one
27:55Position one
27:57Everyone
27:58Now all standing still
28:00Two
28:01Two feet
28:02This way
28:03Now stop
28:05Playing with the fan
28:06Stand
28:06I'm looking at your feet
28:08How you stand
28:09On your feet
28:10When you dance
28:11You want the biggest volume
28:14The volume
28:15You want biggest
28:16So you're going to
28:16Stretch your body
28:18Two
28:18Two
28:19Three
28:19Four
28:21It doesn't open
28:22It doesn't open
28:25That way
28:27Chinese school
28:28Is going to bring
28:30The Chinese culture
28:31Chinese value
28:33Chinese history
28:35And that should be
28:37Demonstrated
28:38In every single lesson
28:40Every minute
28:41Everything you do
28:42You're ready
28:43To defend
28:44Your country
28:45From boring
28:46Intruders
28:47You're ready
28:48To fight
28:51Oh I love
28:52Fan dancing
28:53A fan
28:54And dancing
28:55Is the best
28:56Combination ever
28:57Because you get
28:58To waft a fan
28:59And dance
29:04It's also quite
29:05Entertaining
29:05To watch the boys
29:06Because some of them
29:08Don't really have
29:08Coordination
29:15Okay
29:16Like that
29:18Oh that's
29:19That's graceful
29:20Very good
29:28One of the key
29:29Problems for the
29:30British pupils
29:31Has been the large
29:31Mixed ability class
29:33Most British schools
29:35Put pupils in
29:35Different sets
29:36According to their
29:37Performance
29:37But not in China
29:39Yes we're doing
29:40Trigonometry
29:41No
29:42Oh my god
29:43You're the most
29:44Frustrating person
29:46On the earth
29:47So what is
29:48Trigonometry
29:49Dicking around
29:51With triangles
29:51Angle
29:52This is a relation
29:54Between angle
29:55And the size
29:56Right
29:56Then I will hand out
29:58The consolidation paper
30:00Mr. Zoe has been
30:02Setting extra
30:03Homework for the
30:03Higher performing
30:04Students
30:05And they seem to be
30:06Relishing the
30:07Chinese style of
30:07Teaching
30:08Because that's two
30:09And that's two
30:10You can do two
30:10Times two
30:11And then not
30:11Divide it
30:12By two
30:12Because you've got
30:13Two triangles
30:13Or you can do
30:14Four times two
30:15Divide it by two
30:16Both ways
30:17You get the same
30:17Answer
30:19What I'm doing
30:20Is try to
30:22Encourage
30:23And enforce
30:24You are very
30:25Talented in math
30:26I provide
30:28Challenging
30:29Homework for you
30:30You do more
30:31And you learn more
30:32And then you can
30:34Keep on
30:34Being on the top
30:36So that's a way
30:38To build confidence
30:39This is
30:41Adjacent
30:42What you need to do
30:43Is label
30:44The sides
30:45Zero minus two
30:47Degree
30:48I think his style
30:50Of teaching
30:51Suits
30:52A very small number
30:53Of clever
30:55And determined
30:57People
30:58How do we
30:59Explain seven
31:00Three
31:01I try my best
31:02To listen
31:02In his maths
31:03Lessons
31:03But he doesn't
31:04Really stop
31:05To think about
31:06You
31:06He just keeps
31:07Going through
31:07His boring lesson
31:10Center
31:12Scale factor
31:13At bow hunt
31:15Rosie is in
31:16One of the lower
31:16Sets
31:17For maths
31:17Sir
31:18I don't get it
31:20Let's
31:21One by one
31:22Can you get the
31:22First one
31:23Yeah
31:24I just don't know
31:25What I'm doing
31:25At all
31:28You can get
31:29The first one
31:31Yeah but
31:31I'm not going to learn
31:33If I keep copying
31:34I don't know
31:34What I'm doing
31:35Just use
31:37The definition
31:38It's really
31:39Difficult to sit there
31:40And have to listen
31:41To people tell you
31:42What you find hard
31:43Is easy
31:44And
31:46And that
31:46You should get it
31:47When you don't
31:49That is
31:50H
31:51A
31:52That's the opposite
31:53So that's
31:54O
31:54So now
31:57I get really
31:58Affected by the fact
31:59That when others
32:00Can do stuff
32:01And I can't
32:02I still get so
32:02Angry with myself
32:03And it is
32:05Like really hard
32:06To sit there
32:06And have to
32:07To like listen
32:08To them
32:08Talking about
32:09Trigonometry
32:10When you can't
32:10Even draw a triangle
32:25I was so hungry
32:27I made myself
32:28A man
32:28Luca is another
32:30Student who's
32:31In the lower sets
32:32In normal bow hunt
32:33Classes
32:34From the beginning
32:35Of the experiment
32:36He has struggled
32:37To concentrate
32:37In lessons
32:38Name two
32:39Hobby moves
32:40In the full chain
32:42Which one
32:44In some ways
32:45Difficult to keep up
32:46Because there are
32:48People that are in
32:50Like set one
32:50In that
32:51Group of 50
32:52If I find it difficult
32:55Then
32:56Start to talk
32:59Question three
33:00There's some smelly
33:01You will be tested
33:03Next Thursday
33:04And I don't
33:05Really like
33:06At the moment
33:07Somebody
33:08Is keep talking
33:09To each other
33:10In this classroom
33:13Still trying
33:14To converse
33:15With each other
33:17Why are you
33:18Talking
33:18When you have
33:19A lesson
33:20I'm not
33:21Now can you
33:22Get your books
33:23Ready
33:23Don't blame me
33:28Stand outside
33:29Please
33:30Stay outside
33:31Come on
33:38Look how it's challenging
33:39Chinese kids
33:40Are not like that
33:41They try very hard
33:42They're going to
33:43Make sure
33:44They get it
33:45If I don't get it
33:46This week
33:46I'm doing more
33:48Studying more
33:49Look how
33:51Look how
33:55If you work
33:56You work in my desk
33:57You sit on my
33:58Why am I on your desk now
34:00For something I haven't done
34:01Now if you sit
34:02If you want to join us
34:04You're going to sit
34:04On your own
34:05Or
34:05You're not coming back
34:07You think about it
34:08I'm not coming back
34:09Because it wasn't even me
34:13I just feel
34:14English students
34:15Might be a little bit
34:16Easy to give up
34:18As soon as
34:19They found it
34:19Challenging
34:21Academics
34:21They start to talk
34:23To each other
34:24And they give up
34:27It's five o'clock
34:28And the rest of
34:29Bohun's students
34:30Have gone home
34:31But in the Chinese school
34:33Work goes on
34:35Mr. Zhou is starting
34:36His lesson
34:37For those students
34:37Who struggle in maths
34:40Luca and two other pupils
34:41Haven't turned up
34:43I can't find them
34:45I've looked on the courts
34:47And like everywhere
34:50I've never seen students
34:52Like this
34:52I came up so long distance
34:54To bring you some
34:55Chinese way of teaching
34:58But you don't want to learn
35:00We feel disappointed
35:04Let's start
35:05Okay
35:06Let's start
35:07We're not going to wait
35:09Just be seated
35:10Almost ten years teaching
35:13I haven't experienced
35:15The level of students
35:17Like this
35:17I see if I can help them
35:20By my effort
35:23So I've done it
35:25Can I pack up now?
35:26Luca
35:27Is a lonely boy
35:29He learns very quickly
35:31In fact
35:33Maybe the quickest
35:34In my small group
35:37But if he doesn't want to learn
35:40He'll be a totally different person
35:51Luca, come here
35:55I need to talk to you
35:58Why don't
35:59Why don't you come for a lesson?
36:01Sorry, sir
36:03No, don't say sorry
36:07Hello
36:07This is Mr. Zhou
36:09From Chinese school
36:10Is that Luca's mother?
36:13Ah, hello
36:15Tonight
36:16It should be
36:17Math lesson
36:18For two periods
36:19And Luca
36:20Didn't show up
36:22So he missed
36:23All two lessons tonight
36:25It's so different
36:26From the
36:27Normal bow hunt day
36:30One thing being
36:31The hours are longer
36:32And trying to
36:33Trying to get used to that
36:34Has been difficult
36:34I just went to go
36:36Watch the year eight
36:36Basketball game
36:37It was all
36:39Because I felt like
36:40I was back in bow hunt
36:41When I went there
36:42I'm missing just normal school
36:44Quite a lot
36:44From doing this
36:45It just
36:48Felt good
36:53So at about half past six
36:55I got a phone call
36:56From Mr. Zhou
36:57Saying you'd disappeared
36:59It just wasn't
37:01Your normal behaviour
37:02Or attitude to school
37:04To ever disappear off
37:07You've never
37:08You've never left a lesson
37:09Have you?
37:10And Mr. Zhou
37:10Said that you have a lot
37:11To contribute to the class
37:13And that you're very quick
37:14To learn
37:15It's just sort of about
37:17Helping you see
37:18That there's more
37:19To today
37:20Than just the next
37:21Five minutes
37:23Can we put that away please?
37:26Thank you
37:28He's got a few days yet
37:29To pick up his socks
37:31So there's always hope
37:32That he'll improve
37:33Is this you writing all this?
37:36Yeah
37:36That's really good
37:37And all that
37:38And you wrote all this?
37:39Yeah
37:39And this is Mandarin
37:41Yeah?
37:41Right
37:42This
37:44Is a three
37:45I've never had like
37:47Three lessons in a row
37:48When I've been good
37:49It's always been one little thing
37:51Always been a big thing
37:52Like it has been this time
37:55Seeing Mrs. Zhou
37:56Annoyed
37:57Made me feel a bit
38:01Upset
38:02And
38:04Unfair
38:05Not like
38:06Oh what he's doing is unfair
38:08But what I'm doing is unfair
38:16You are very smart
38:18Do you know that?
38:20Me?
38:20Yeah of course
38:21You are smart
38:25You have to learn
38:27Be smarter
38:30We do not
38:33Ignore
38:34Any students
38:35And we hope
38:36We can help them
38:38In some way
38:39You never know
38:40What you will do
38:41In the future
38:42You might feel regret
38:44I should have learned
38:47Hard
38:48Yeah
38:48So
38:52I'm willing to change
38:54Yeah
38:54Just be more focused
38:57Try your best
38:58Try your best
39:02When someone tells me
39:04When someone tells me
39:04That I've got potential
39:05There is that bit
39:07Inside that says
39:08Okay
39:08Yeah I can
39:09Do this
39:11And if it's a teacher
39:12Saying that
39:12Then it must be true
39:15It means
39:16It just means
39:16That I can do it
39:18So
39:18I just
39:19Might as well
39:21Do it
39:29The number of lines
39:32Of symmetry
39:32That way
39:34And one thing
39:35That way
39:35With just days to go
39:37Until the final exams
39:38Kids on both sides
39:39Of the educational divide
39:41Are knuckling down
39:44Water plants prevent light
39:46Reaching the planted bottom
39:48Sophie could you expand
39:49What does this mean
39:50Three to the left
39:51Three to the left
39:52And then five upwards
39:53Great job
39:57Luca answer the next question
39:59One
40:00Two
40:00Three
40:01Four
40:01One
40:02Two
40:03Three
40:04And
40:05Four
40:06Okay good
40:10Look at this phone
40:12Beautiful
40:12That's pretty
40:13You like it yeah
40:14It designed for you
40:16It made for you
40:17We need to review this part tonight
40:19And then go home
40:20But first
40:22Put all these days
40:24Back to the original position
40:25Luca help
40:27I think you're really
40:28A model student
40:29Always work the hardest
40:31And you don't give yourself
40:33Too much pressure
40:34Yeah I try not to
40:37The night before the exams
40:39And the year nine kids
40:41Are showing they can match
40:42Anyone in China
40:43For dedication
40:44Revising long into the night
40:47I've got my pens
40:49Facing the same way
40:51It's good to be organised
40:53I believe
40:56I think when I'm under pressure
40:58I'm like
40:59I said this
41:00I'm given a deadline
41:01So there's no getting out of it
41:03Especially
41:03I think I work best in exams
41:05Because you're given a time limit
41:09I'm revising for my
41:12Chemistry test
41:13I prefer writing it down
41:15And reading off
41:16That's why I prefer
41:17The Chinese style
41:18Of teaching in science
41:19Because what she does
41:21Is she puts it all on the board
41:22And she's got to copy it down
41:24So then when you
41:25Do go to revise
41:26You can just read it all through
41:27And you can revise like that
41:31What someone said to me
41:32For revising
41:33I'm going to do it
41:34In a stupid accent
41:35Rosie has roped in her sister
41:37To help with revision
41:39OK
41:39Nitrogen is an element
41:41I'm not going to listen to you
41:42If you keep speaking like that
41:44Please
41:46Most of nitrogen
41:47That plants obtain
41:48They absorb from
41:51Nitrate ions
41:52Brackets
41:54NO3 negative
41:55Oh this page is proper sciencey
41:59Is it quite a full on day tomorrow then?
42:02Yeah
42:03We've got all the exams
42:04Apart from PE
42:05All the way until dinner
42:06As much as I love it
42:07I'll be absolutely knackered
42:09I know you've enjoyed it
42:10Haven't you?
42:11Apart from the fact
42:11You're flagging now
42:13No I don't really care
42:15I think I do feel pressured
42:17To perform well in the exams
42:19I know I can only achieve
42:20The best of my ability
42:21But I know I have it
42:22So it's just whether I can succeed
42:25I want to try and perform very well
42:27So I can show that this Chinese method
42:30Either has or hasn't made a big change
42:35In our education
42:478.30am
42:49Exams are about to begin
42:52The Chinese school students
42:54Are going head to head
42:55With the rest of Bowhunt Year 9
42:58No more chatting
42:59Bags that way please
43:01Find your seats
43:02It's the first time
43:03Any of these kids
43:04Have taken a formal exam
43:06I slept on all my books
43:07Last night
43:08Because you know
43:08You put them under your pillow
43:09And then you put your pillow on
43:11And you absorb the knowledge
43:13While you're asleep
43:15Josh, good luck
43:16Thank you ma'am
43:18The outcome of four long weeks of teaching
43:21A competition between two completely different approaches to education
43:25Will be decided by the next four hours
43:28Does everybody understand what they have to do?
43:33Time starts now
43:46It kind of freaks you out when you're in there
43:49And then you look at everyone else
43:50And then you've got your head down
43:51And you think
43:51How are they answering this question?
43:56Seeing an exam room
43:57It's just like
44:01Oh God
44:03But then again
44:04I just have to do it
44:08I kind of want
44:11Bowhunt to do better than Chinese school
44:13Because that means
44:13That I won't have to go to school
44:15From seven to seven
44:16And random things I didn't like
44:18Might change the way my normal school is
44:23You have ten minutes remaining
44:29For the Chinese teachers
44:30It's a waiting game
44:36I want all of them to do well
44:38But it's not realistic
44:43This is a class of mixed abilities
44:45Some of them
44:47They don't engage themselves to the class
44:52So whatever result comes out
44:55I think I can accept it
44:57But if they can do very well
45:00Higher than what I expected
45:02I think it's a miracle
45:09If you can stop writing now
45:10If you are still writing
45:12No talking
45:12Or communicating with anybody in front or behind
45:18For the Chinese school
45:20There's one more test still to come
45:22On the spot
45:24Heel flicks
45:24A two-hour PE exam
45:27If this were China
45:28The students would have to pass
45:30To get into a good senior school
45:33This is a very important day
45:35For Chinese students
45:36This exam
45:38It will decide them
45:40In the future
45:41Can go to the good school
45:42Or cannot go to good school
45:46The kids will be marked on
45:48Running
45:48Skipping
45:49Sit-ups
45:50And throwing a medicine ball
45:56All right, listen
45:57You're going to throw
45:59One at a time
46:01As we go down
46:02The groups
46:04Every student
46:05Only one time
46:07You prepare
46:07Maybe three years
46:08One year
46:09Only one time
46:10Just throw it
46:11Number one
46:12Behind the line
46:13And get ready
46:14Our aim is full marks
46:19Fast
46:20Yeah, but it's still crap
46:22I think finally
46:23The pennies drop
46:24That this means something
46:25Now to them
46:26I don't think they appreciated it
46:27In the process
46:28But now I think
46:29It means something to them
46:30And they're all hellbent
46:31On passing each of these tests
46:32Luca, go
46:38I think I did all right
46:39It was better than
46:40All my practice runs
46:41I think
46:41Next ones
46:42Up you get
46:48I think I got ten
46:50Just
46:51Probably
46:52I think I stepped over the line
46:54But I don't think anyone noticed
46:55So it's fine
46:58I did all right
46:59I think I passed
47:01I thought everyone
47:02Would be lazy
47:04But they're actually trying
47:05I'm not surprised
47:06To be honest
47:12That's me
47:17Keep going
47:18I'm back
47:20You can do it
47:24Be ready for your next one
47:27Oh, you brought it off
47:29Yeah
47:29Go back
47:32Next one
47:33Philippa decides
47:34She's too exhausted
47:35To complete all of the PE exam
47:39If I push myself too hard
47:40It's going to get even worse
47:42That's why I'm not doing
47:43The skipping or the running
47:44Because I've had this illness
47:45Like I don't want it to get any worse
47:48I've been working really hard
47:49Over the last couple of weeks
47:50And that's all kind of
47:51Built up now
47:52And it's showing
47:52Because I'm getting really tired
47:53Because I do start to realise
47:57How worn out I really am
48:00A bit overwhelming, I think
48:07All the students, well done
48:10So congratulations
48:11You finished the PE test
48:14Twenty-four passed
48:16Twenty-six failed
48:19The individual result
48:21You will get it
48:22When you get your academic result
48:28For the pupils and teachers
48:30Of the Chinese school
48:31These four weeks
48:32Have been a challenge of endurance
48:38Tested by cultural differences
48:42Excuse me, you too
48:43You didn't show me your manners
48:45I never see a student like you
48:48You embarrass the bull heart
48:50And the occasional lost in translation moment
48:53Who can tell me what pee-pee means?
48:57You said pee-pee
48:58There was time lost to discipline problems
49:01Listen to me, to teacher
49:03And time spent forming new relationships
49:06Too young for it, in my book
49:09Too young
49:10The big question now is
49:13Has the Chinese school
49:14Managed to overcome all the disruption
49:16To triumph in the test
49:20The results are in
49:21And the Chinese teachers will soon know
49:24How their students have done
49:27Luca
49:27Thank you
49:28Angelina
49:30At Bowhunt
49:32The kids are used to grades
49:33But they've never been ranked against each other
49:36I've got a hundred percent in maths
49:37I've got a hundred percent in maths
49:37I've got a hundred percent in maths
49:39Yes
49:40Oh my god
49:43My academic ability has definitely improved during this experiment
49:48It's all about hard work and not really chatting or messing around
49:52And a lot of it's getting on with work by yourself
49:55And I think I'm often quite good at working on my own
49:58I don't know if this is good or not
50:00I'm not sure
50:01For maths, this is 51%
50:03Because I can tell you
50:04Is that good or bad?
50:06Our small class group
50:07You're the best
50:09Okay?
50:10Are you happy?
50:11Yeah
50:11But you can be much, much better
50:16As I told you, right?
50:19This isn't really that bad
50:21Well, for me, it's not that bad
50:24Do you feel happy?
50:25I'm not that pleased
50:26Why not?
50:28Tell me
50:28I came 19th in Mandarin
50:3423rd in English
50:3634th in maths
50:38Okay, so it's not what you expected, all right?
50:44I'm annoyed with myself
50:46I only just passed Mandarin
50:49Well, to be honest
50:51Chinese education isn't the most encouraging thing
50:54Okay, why?
50:56Because they're always just
50:59It's just all expectations that maybe you can't always reach
51:02But if you try hard and you keep, you know, trying hard
51:07No matter you go to work or you go to school
51:09You try your best
51:10That won't hurt you
51:11You can just
51:12I do try my best
51:13And you're just telling me my best isn't good enough
51:16Yeah, I'm happy with them
51:17Because I didn't pay attention
51:19Like, do that, well, the first few weeks of the Chinese thing
51:21So I think I did all right
51:22Like, considering, like, concentrating for two weeks
51:26But for the teachers, the real results are still to come
51:29How have their 50 pupils performed against the rest of the year?
51:34How have their traditional Chinese methods done against the British system?
51:39I feel very apprehensive with the science results
51:43I do not feel we are standing in a very strong position
51:48To compete with Bohang teachers
51:51In China, this is not my expectation
51:55In my school, if you get a B in math
52:00The students will not accept this result
52:13Graduation
52:14A chance to celebrate the end of school for the students
52:17For the Chinese and British teachers, it's the moment of truth
52:24Right
52:24So this envelope could, of course, change the course of history
52:29I don't know if I want to open it, actually
52:33I'm really quite nervous
52:36Because there are a couple of philosophies
52:38That have clashed over this project
52:40And if Chinese school has won the day
52:43Then that's going to be quite interesting for us, I think, at Bow Hunt
52:54Yeah, we need a drum roll
52:59Okay
53:00So
53:01The Chinese school average mark for maths
53:0767.74%
53:12Bow Hunt year 9
53:1454.84%
53:21There is more
53:23Bow Hunt year 9
53:26Average mark for Mandarin
53:2736.46%
53:30Chinese school
53:3346.88%
53:40For science
53:41Chinese school
53:4358.33%
53:46Bow Hunt year 9
53:4850
53:59I have to attempt to be gracious
54:03And say to Chinese school
54:05Very, very well done
54:07And yeah, the inquiry will commence
54:11Thank you very much
54:13And well done
54:14And well done
54:15Well done
54:17We are here to bring you
54:20The unique Chinese style of teaching
54:23And we are very pleased to hear the results
54:26But still we would like to say
54:28Please try your best
54:30And we wish you do all your best in the future
54:34No matter what you do
54:38Joe
54:40Marvelous
54:40I did say that it would be a miracle
54:43If the students in Chinese school
54:45Did better in the test
54:47But it did happen
54:50The miracle really happened
54:53Maybe in the test
54:54We do better
54:55Because
54:56You know
54:57We push the students more
55:00They
55:01Stayed at the school longer
55:03Which means
55:05They had to spend
55:08Comparatively longer time
55:10On their study
55:11Tristan and Philippa
55:15We probably do need a longer day
55:17At school
55:18But do we really want children
55:20Working 15, 16 hours a day
55:23That to me doesn't really sound like childhood
55:26That to me sounds like almost prison
55:28The Chinese school works with children
55:32Who are already bright
55:33Who are already motivated
55:34I'm not altogether surprised by that
55:37Because these are students
55:38Who would probably do really well
55:40Despite the teaching
55:42Rather than because of the teaching
55:44It does challenge the most able pupils
55:47But does it do it in a nurturing way?
55:53It's very hard to say
55:56Which education system is better
55:58And I think we should learn from each other
56:04I think that the way that the Chinese pupils
56:07Respect their teachers
56:08Is something that we ought to have in this country
56:12Our teaching style may be a bit too rigid
56:15We give you the knowledge
56:17You learn
56:18What happens to those ones
56:21Who don't learn this way
56:23We need to teach them differently
56:25And we need to learn from England
56:30Learning is not just about the teacher
56:34It's about teacher and students
56:38Two part
56:49Before school ends
56:51It's time for goodbyes
56:53It has been a great journey
56:56We have learned tremendously from you
56:59It was not as successful as I expected
57:02But I have to say
57:05I will miss you
57:06Oh, I just want to say
57:08Good luck
57:10I have a little present for Josh
57:13A Chinese tea
57:15Oh my God
57:20Thank you
57:22This has been one of the most weird
57:25Yet amazing experiences I've ever had
57:29And I think I speak for everyone here
57:31When I say I'm never going to forget this
57:33Thank you so much to Mr. Zhao
57:35And Miss Lee
57:36Because I was so proud
57:39And then they believed me
57:42That you had the potential
57:43And I was just very grateful for that
57:46Three cheers for the teachers
57:48Hip, hip
57:49Hooray
57:50Hip, hip
57:51Hooray
57:52Hip, hip
57:53Hooray
57:53And one for love
57:55Hip, hip
57:56Hooray
57:57Woo!
58:00OK, I can see you
58:03Show me all your face
58:05Hand
58:05One, two, three
58:12To find out more about attitudes and approaches to education in the UK and China
58:18And have your say
58:19Go to bbc.co.uk forward slash Chinese school
58:23And follow the links to the Open University
58:30Well, next on BBC Two
58:32Eric wants to buy the most powerful pair of binoculars
58:35Best not to ask why
58:36It's the perfect Morecambe and Wise
58:39You
58:42You
58:54You
58:55Tchau, tchau.
