Recently occured to me to ask: "Is there a Primary School Leaving Examination in China?"
"No."
Ok, then which secondary schools do the kids go to?
"就近" ... which means the school near where you stay.
Everybody has 9 years of compulsory education. And then they have the first major exams, after which they go on to high school (50%) and then take the university entrance exams. The other 50% go on to technical institutions, polytechnics or join the labour market.
Hmm... so there's really no pressure until the kid turns 15.
I'm on 3 year contract... why am I asking these questions?
