Education is a key factor for national development and social transformation. The Chinese
since time immemorial attach great significance to education as a process to build the right
character to lead a life befitting a human being. When a discussion on national development took
place, the Chinese would invariably refer to one factor which was imperative, rern chai, or human
resource or human capacity. Indeed, it is human beings who build society or destroy society
depending on the governance and the political leadership of a particular nation.
