Abstract
During dinner about five years ago, I asked Madame Zhu Muju, who was then the director of the Chinese National Institute for Curriculum and Textbooks (NCCT), about the size of scale of basic education in her country. Without hesitation, she told me that China approximately has 10 million teachers and 200 million pupils.
