New progresses have been made in Chinese education in 2008 as follows：the large growth in the investment on education from national finance，the coverage of free compulsory education from rural to urban areas，the further push of quality-oriented education，the continual expanding enrollment of college and university and the educational rebuilding in Wenchuan Earthquake area. But there are still some puzzles. In rural areas，educational finance is still insufficient and heavily misappropriated and diverted，with huge debt burden and low salary for the teachers at the same time，which causes the trend of empty schools. In urban areas，the development of compulsory education meets with all obstacles in balance，and the phenomenon called “huge school and huge class” is severe. The real educational burden is still high while the morality of teachers and the teacher-student relationship become hot topics. The effective way to save the educational rights for migrant workers’ children is still to be figured out. The educational quality of university and college still attracts much attention.
