China:School room in late Quing dynasty, 1875-1880
Starting from the second half of 19th century, Qing government and many elites believed modern education was instrumental for the country's future development. New schools offering modern education mushroomed accross China. The education system in the new schools contrasted sharply with Chinese classics taught in traditional schools. New schools not only taught modern science, foreign languages, technology and other western disciplines, they also prepared a generation of skilled workers through vocational education of Westernisation Movement.

China, Yunnan: Yi children
With a population of more than 6mln, the Yi Nationality is one of the oldest minority groups in the southwest of China. The Yi minority has up to 6 different dialects and they have their own writing system- there are around 1000 characters in common uses among the Yi minority. In family, Yis traditionally associated the father's name with the son's. When a boy was named, the last one or two syllables of his father's name would be added to his own. Such a practice made it possible to trace the family tree back for many generations.
