Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is from McKinsey so it's going to have a certain US-centric perspective (prioritizing, for example, measures like GDP and test scores), but that said, it remains true that China faces the same issue the rest of us face, and specifically, the need to address the (relatively new) fact that learning does not stop once your education stops. Offering adult and workplace learning comes with challenges; you can't assume everyone is at the same level, and you have to take their background knowledge into context, and adults typically expect more control over their learning (especially if they're doing it on their own time and at their own expense). So while McKinsey is focused on what China has to do, the really interesting question is in how they're going to do it.
