About Education, Education:
In China, education is considered the only way out of poverty. But as the nation’s higher education system has largely been privatized by for-profit companies, the future for millions of students is bleak. College is less accessible to Chinese youth than ever before, and without it, they are often shut out of well-paid employment opportunities. What will it mean for coming generations and the future of the nation? Education, Education, a documentary by Director Weijun Chen and Producer Don Edkins, explores these questions and how this lack of educational access impacts individuals—and their futures.
