Chinanews,Beijing, June 16 - "Many Chinese wonder why there have been no Nobel Prize winners from China. I should say the answer can only be sought from our defective1 examination-oriented education system. We must work hard to reform it and academic environment as soon as possible, or our effort will only be in vain," said Wang Shouguan, a famous astronomer2 and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
There were 159 winners of the Nobel Prize for Physics in the 20th century, about 2/3 of whom made their achievements in their 20s. That is to say, every excellent high school graduate has the potential to be the backbone3 of scientific research in the near future. However, Nobel Prize has never been issued to any scholar from the Chinese mainland, as examination-oriented education here pushes students to become interested only in the result of examinations, rather than the mastery of knowledge. Even if some of them might survive the challenge of a series of examinations and get a doctor's degree, they have already passed the best age for scientific research. Besides, scientific research in China is usually mixed with a lot of non-academic factors, which makes it impossible to keep a "pure" environment for research. Though China has invested a lot on the learning of sciences, with no enough support from education authorities and appropriate atmosphere, it will be very difficult for Chinese scientists to make extraordinary achievements.
