Compared to the education systems in western countries, the education system in China emphasizes more on tests and academic achievement, especially in the K-12 period. The typical education procedure a child in China would go through is like this: Kindergarten (age:4-6, 3 years); Elementary (age:6-12, 6 years); Junior high, (3 years); High School, (3 years); College/University (4 years); post-graduate study, (2-6 years, depends on the degree and major).

Parents general pay close attention to their children' school life and academic performance. There is a nation-wide entrance test for higher education. This is usually where the pressure comes from.
