Chinese high school students have the most positive attitude toward online learning compared with those in the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK), a report released by China Youth Daily has found.

The report showed that most of the surveyed students in the four countries embrace online learning. 

A total of 87.1 percent of Chinese students said "online learning is important," while 91.2 percent found "online learning is interesting," higher than that of any of the other three countries.

More than 94 percent of Chinese high school students believe online learning can expand their scope of knowledge, while 86.8 percent believe they can learn from first-class teachers via the internet, according to the report.

Though online learning can push the boundaries of time and space, the report said the students were easily distracted, adding that students in the four countries expressed similar concerns, such as poor vision, reliance on the internet and less effort in problem-solving on their own.

The study, jointly conducted by researchers at the China Youth & Children Research Center and their counterparts in the other three countries, covered 3,903 Chinese high school students, 1,521 U.S. high school students, 2,204 Japanese high school students and 1,618 high school students in the ROK.
