At this stage in society, countries worldwide have realized the importance of technology and its effect of it on the development of countries. In China, instead of using immersive techniques in education systems, schools still choose to use textbooks and whiteboards to teach children. This results in a lack of focus from students and an incapability to study and learn effectively. To fix this problem, Virtual Reality is put forth as an immersive and engageable solution. To analyze how well VR is affecting students, this article discusses the importance of VR usage in China and how that will help improve the quality of education for students, highlighting different ways VR has been benefiting other education systems around the world and how more countries have been implementing this into their schools. This article also discusses the current implementations of VR in Chinese education systems and how different programs that have been developing are affecting the efficiency of learning and interactivity among students positively.
