Education is an organic integrity throughout one's life. Though there are different educational needs in different developmental stages, relative consistency and coherence should be maintained between different developmental stages. Therefore it is highly important to maintain the organic connection and integrated development between secondary and higher education. In China's educational practice, there are practical difficulties in the connection between secondary and university education. They are mainly reflected in the following aspects: firstly, there is a disconnection between secondary education and higher education in terms of school-running philosophy; secondly, the curriculum system has not been established for the organic connection and integration between secondary and university education; thirdly, the college entrance examination system leads to the lack of organic interaction between secondary education and higher education. These problems are not conducive to the organic interaction and progress of secondary education and higher education, making it difficult to cultivate top-notch innovative talents in the new era. In this respect, we should learn from Britain in terms of education concept and curriculum system for secondary schools and subjects' setting for university entrance examination.
