Summary:Abstract: Today, it is spoken and written about China, however, we know very few about edu- cation system and daily life of Chinese schools, and the few information we have do not provide us with real image. Thinking about Chinese boom came with PISA study results which set the students from Shanghai at the top of achievements. Which context factors can explain these ex- ceptional results and how do they act in daily life of Chinese school and classes? In historical context, it is about the impacts of Confucian tradition that highly evaluates learning and respects the teacher. This includes also the consequences of political establishment of the People’s Repub- lic of China, cultural revolution, centralist management, education system control carried out by Communist party. We will present the structure of education system in PR of China: from preschool, then educa- tion in elementary school, lower and higher level of secondary school, to entrance exam as a condition for university education. We will present the education and role of the teacher in Chinese school and society, didactics and methods of teaching in Chinese classrooms, as well as the man- ner in which Chinese pupils study, strategies they use and attitude they take towards learning and knowledge.
