Abstract

This paper reviews the problems and development of the Chinese education system during the COVID-19. Also, it reviews the problems of American educational system in detail. The analysis of the "changes" and "unchanges" in education both in China and the United States in COVID-19 period is one of the important ways to understand the current direction of international education and potential development trends. This paper also compares American education system and Chinese education system during the pandemic, with analysing both the same points-online study modes-and difference-future development points. Chinese government has imposed strict measures to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
