China K-9 Curriculum Standards Graph
A structured curriculum standards knowledge base and teacher workflow tool that turns China's 2022 K-9 curriculum standards into searchable, comparable, printable, and AI-ready records.
Overview
China K-9 Curriculum Standards Graph is a structured curriculum standards knowledge base and teacher workflow tool for China's compulsory education curriculum reform. It transforms the Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition) from narrative policy documents into searchable, comparable, savable, printable, and AI-ready standards records across nine subject areas.
The project is not only a standards browser. It is an attempt to rebuild curriculum standards as educational infrastructure: a data layer that can support teacher planning, curriculum design, assessment design, grade-band alignment, cross-subject comparison, and later API or agent-based educational applications.
What it structures
- Covers Chinese, mathematics, English, science, information technology, arts, physical education, labor education, and morality and rule of law
- Breaks curriculum requirements into atomic standards with subject, grade band, domain, subdomain, teaching context, practice suggestions, assessment evidence, and competency mappings
- Further decomposes originally combined junior-secondary G7-G9 standards into grade-level records for G7, G8, and G9
- Anchors disciplinary core competencies and transferable abilities to specific standards
- Keeps the public-facing count conservative as over two thousand structured standards / records while the dataset continues to stabilize
Teacher workflow value
Teachers can use the project to quickly identify learning goals, compare standards across grade levels or subjects, collect relevant entries for unit planning, and print or export selected records for lesson preparation and team discussion.
Curriculum designers can use the structured data to plan units, trace competency progression, design rubrics, and compare how content requirements connect to transferable abilities. In future AI-supported workflows, the same standards graph can function as a trusted curriculum data engine for planning agents, resource recommendation, and assessment support.
Why it matters
In many schools, curriculum standards remain static policy text or a citation at the edge of lesson plans. This project treats standards as a usable knowledge system. By making standards computable, comparable, and reusable, it helps move curriculum work from "finding the document" toward "reasoning with the curriculum."
Current positioning
Among publicly accessible Chinese education tools, this project is unusual in attempting full-subject standards structuring, G7-G9 grade-level decomposition, and core-competency anchoring in one curriculum knowledge infrastructure. The stronger claim is not that it is the first or only project of its kind, but that it makes a systematic attempt to turn national curriculum standards into data that teachers, curriculum designers, and AI agents can actually use.
