Chinese Congress Delegate Suggests Cancelling English Classes in Mainland Schools
The 4th session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (#CPPCC) opens in Beijing. Before the opening, many delegates spoke to mainland press about potential topics to be discussed. Among them is Xu Jin, Central Committee Member of the elite-ran Jiusan Society, who propose to remove English as a core subject for Chinese students.
“Students and parents have spent much time and effort in order to learn English. However, as our society and economy becomes more developed, does English really matter that much?” he said.
According to his research, he said, computer tools can provide translations for multiple languages, and is already sufficient for everyday usage. He believes with such translation tools that “match university standards,” translation will be one of the first occupations to die out in the age of artificial intelligence.
