    Enforcing the implementation of the central curriculum is necessary, besides, we cannot deny the benefit the regional curriculum brings to the education system.

    Integrated curriculum can promote collaboration between teaching and learning environments. Teachers can exchange ideas and share experiences on the same textbooks, dig deeper into knowledge points, and promote teaching research and development. A complete basic education enables students to acquire a solid foundation of knowledge, and an inclusive mind, and a broad world view, thus inspiring them to explore more knowledge with enthusiasm.

    Under the central curriculum, the nation will have a greater advantage in monitoring and evaluating local education. The comprehensive curriculum stipulates the knowledge that students need to master, which can alleviate the problem of unfair competition. The ministry of education evaluates the progress of teaching and learning with a fair standard, which is conducive to the study of education, the improvement of the education system, and the cultivation of talents for the society. Almost every province in China uses the same curriculum before university, there is no denying that students have the opportunity to get a solid foundation education, and the ministry of education has received due feedback on education in each region.

    However, the nation should allow local adjustments to the curriculum. Students can choose the elective courses they are interested in, maybe these courses will be the enlightenment for their future career. Electives allow them to try new things, to open up their potential, and to develop a strong will in their exploration. In general, the core of education is how to train talents to serve the society, rather than how to make the education system work more uniformly. We cannot stop people from pursuing their dreams and exploring the unknown because millions of students who once dared to pursue their dreams are now pioneers in technology. The nation needs to encourage students to explore, not just put them into a single education factory.

    To sum up, the central curriculum is essential for a positive learning environment and an effective educational assessment. Besides, appropriate adjustments can promote academic prosperity.

    It is necessary to enforce the implementation of the central curriculum, besides, the regional flexibility on the curriculum can benefit the education system and society.

    An integrated curriculum can contribute to both teaching and learning environments being collaborative. Teachers can gather together to discuss the materials and share great experiences. Especially, it would be helpful for teachers from distant areas to get support from experts using the same materials in developed areas. From group discussion, students increase their tendency to incorporate and solve difficult problems with peers. They may gain the basic knowledge of recognition, the intelligence of critical thinking and the wide view of the world, which results in the motivation of exploring more knowledge with passion.

    By cental curriculum, the nation would have a greater advantage in monitoring and evaluating local education. By making a defined level of knowledge that all students need to acquire in school, an integrated curriculum can mitigate the problem of imbalanced education resources. With a standard and fair criteria to evaluate teaching and learning progress, the department of education can focus on research to improve the education system and cultivate talents for society. Almost every province in China uses the same curriculum before college, it is undeniable that students get a chance to obtain solid elementary education, whatever in cities or remote areas.

    However, the nation should apply some adaptations based on personal willingness. If students are willing to explore deeper level knowledge, they should be allowed to choose other curriculums. Therefore, they can have a diverse view of the world with knowledge from various backgrounds. In the future, they can become more competitive than others with limited backgrounds. On the whole, the education problem is how to cultivate talents to work for society rather than how the education system runs. We cannot stop the curiosity of people to pursue their dreams and explore the unknown. The inspiration that the nation needs to give students should fit them well rather than a general outline.

    In conclusion, a central curriculum is indispensable for collaborative creations of atmosphere and efficient evaluations of studying progress. Besides, adjustment and adaptation can boost academic prosperity.
