BEIJING, Jan. 11 () -- China has seen its Internet population continue to grow as rapid urbanization has allowed more and more people to access the web, and concerns over cyber security have increased alongside the industry's boom.The number of Internet users in China is estimated to have reached 505 million as of November 2011, up from 485 million at the end of June, the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) said Wednesday.The Internet penetration rate rose to 37.7 percent in November, up 3.4 percentage points from the end of 2010, according to a CNNIC report released at a conference here.As of the end of November, the number of microblog users exceeded 300 million, jumping from 195 million by the end of June, the report said.The rapid growth of China's Internet population, already the largest in the world, has spurred expansion in the country's Internet economy.The value of China's Internet economy surged 72.7 percent year-on-year to 71.6 billion yuan (11.3 billion U.S. dollars) in the third quarter of 2011, according to statistics from the Shanghai-based Internet consulting firm iResearch.Microblogging, electronic commerce and mobile payment services all continued to maintain a strong growth momentum in 2011, Gao Xinmin, vice president of the Internet Society of China (ISC), said at the conference.New services and technologies are also taking off, with cloud computing expected to generate a market worth over 60 billion yuan in 2012, the ISC forecast.China targets up to 2 trillion yuan in telecommunications infrastructure investment during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) period and cloud computing is listed as a key project in the plan.Meanwhile, web security has become an increasingly complicated issue with the expansion of the Internet industry.There was increasing penetration of, and attacks on, China's Internet infrastructure as well as the information systems of key industries such as finance, transport, energy, customs, taxation and science and technology, Gao said.Online phishing occurs frequently among financial sector websites, which have become a key target for fraud and privacy theft, he noted.In the first half of 2011, 217 million Chinese Internet users, or 44.7 percent of the country's total online population, were attacked by malware, including viruses or Trojan horses, and 121 million had the experience of having their accounts hacked or passwords stolen, CNNIC data shows.China's leading anti-virus software provider, Beijing-based Qihoo 360, claimed in late December that the personal information of more than 6 million users of the China Software Developer Network (CSDN), the country's largest programmers' website, had been leaked by hackers.The case raised concerns about web security and triggered widespread panic, but a police investigation later found the leaks had been fabricated for the purposes of showing off, fraudulently obtaining money, promoting the company's web security products, or disturbing and disparaging a government move to demand real-name registration for microbloggers.China faces an increasingly complex and grim situation in maintaining web security, and better regulation is urgently needed, Gao said.
HANGZHOU, June 29 () -- High school principals and their educational policies have come under scrutiny following the release of the results of the "gaokao," or national college entrance examinations.It has become an annual ritual for parents and media alike to judge the performance of the nation's schools according to their students' entrance exam scores, with schools that produce high marks gaining fame and attracting more students.However, some have argued that the importance of these scores has overridden the true value of education and turned high schools into "factories" for students who are capable only of memorizing facts and figures."The stability of the scores is the result of repeated practice," said Ye Cuiwei, principal of the No. 2 High School in the city of Hangzhou in east China's Zhejiang province."In order to ensure high scores, we have to force the students do the same exercises again and again, although everybody knows this can depress the students' development in other areas," Ye said.Primary and secondary education in China has long been accused of sapping the physical and mental development of students in favor of producing high test scores, with some targeting educators who pursue higher enrollment rates at the expense of their students' wellbeing."The school heads are a major obstacle for educational reform," said Fang Zhanhua, head of the Zhejiang Research Institute of Education Science.However, many principals say the criticism is uncalled for, complaining that they have been forced into a difficult dilemma in trying to balance"I used to ask myself: are we fostering the creativity of the younger generation, or killing their thirst for knowledge?" said Zhou Qianhong, principal of Xiaoshi High School in the city of Ningbo in Zhejiang.Although the Ministry of Education has asked local educational authorities to refrain from ranking students according to their college entrance exam scores, many local governments still attach great importance to the scores and use them to measure local education levels."Just like the coach of a football team, if a school does poorly in the entrance examinations for several consecutive years, the principal is likely to be removed from his position," said Lu Linyue, deputy head of the Zhejiang Education Association.Liu Xiping, director of the education department of the provincial government of Zhejiang, said an overemphasis on boosting enrollment rates has harmed the students' development.Students are categorized according to their performance in exams at a very young age, with teachers tending to pay more attention to students who do well on the exams, creating a vicious cycle, he said.Some educators are working to find new ways to boost their students' creativity and make their classes more diverse while maintaining high performance. Henghu Primary School in the city of Taizhou in Zhejiang has pared down its curriculum for basic subjects, arranging more elective classes and outdoor activities.The school has purchased a plot of land on a nearby hill, where students take elective courses in gardening and ecology."The students' scores are not actually proportional to the time they spend studying. They have more to do with the interest the students have in the subjects they are learning about," said Jin Weiming, the school's headmaster.The education department of the provincial government of Zhejiang announced on June 18 that senior high schools will have the right to set their own curricula, as the current uniform curriculum will be abandoned starting in September. The department said the percentage of elective classes that will be allowed to be counted toward a student's final credit total will be increased.Education that results in all-around development does not necessarily result in lower enrollment rates, according to department head Liu Xiping, adding that exam scores can improve when students' interest and potential are stimulated.
