The Catholic Educational Review Vol 5 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Catholic Educational Review, Vol. 5 The organization of schools among the Chinese was more highly developed than among any of the other peo ples of antiquity. State control was, however, exercised by the examination system and not by direct ownership of schools or the compensation of teachers by the govern ment. As elsewhere, there were elementary schools and higher schools: the former seem without exception to have been private schools, owned or rented by the teach ers: the latter were, for the most part, private property also.
