One of the highlights of Ireland's education system, what is Ireland's "transitional school year"?
Ireland is a "direct blood relative" of Britain, English is Chinese, and the education system is in the same strain as Britain. As a new immigrant leader who invests in Europe and European software industry, Irish "the most famous American education", the only English-speaking country in the European Union, has won the favor of China children and parents of international students. Although the education system is inherited from Britain, Ireland has gained higher user feedback in the education and training industry by virtue of its original-transitional year.

According to the Irish academic system, students generally take the junior high school diploma exam after 15 years old and start their junior high school studies. In the process of primary school going to ordinary high school, students must do well in three aspects: first, the connection between junior high school and high school in cognitive dimension; Second, the teaching method should gradually change from junior high school to senior high school, which is very passive and depends on course learning; Thirdly, students should develop into more self-reliant, responsible and brave social people from the mentality. Therefore, in this context, Ireland's education in the next school year should change from time to time.

In the docking school year, students will gain universal and diversified learning insights. According to this stage of curriculum learning, on the one hand, it promotes students to develop a series of transferable abilities such as critical thinking and solving difficulties, and promotes students to slowly switch from a learning atmosphere that is more dependent on junior high school to a more autonomous learning and training nature in senior high school; On the other hand, it encourages and promotes students' individual development, accumulates social experience, establishes self-reliance ability, and establishes the course content, major and even personal development direction, so as to complete students' common struggle in self, social and economic development, post culture education and so on. To a great extent, it avoids students' anxiety and confusion under the background of life development such as choosing institutions and majors.

There are many graduation exams: 1. European institutions of higher education.

All institutions of higher learning in Ireland rank among the top 5% in the world, such as Trinity University and Dublin University. As a member of the European Union, it is also easy to apply for other European institutions of higher learning.

2. American rattan schools in Oxford and Cambridge, England

Britain and Ireland recognize each other's credits, and Irish college entrance examination scores can be directly applied to key universities in the UK. The number of college entrance examinations in Ireland is small, and the chances of admission to famous American schools are high. Harvard has far more students than China.

3. Overseas China students and international students.

A little boy with Irish Stamp4 can apply for a domestic university as an overseas Chinese student, and he can go to 2 1 1/985 key university with 400 points. If you get Irish citizenship, you can also apply for a domestic university as an international student without taking an exam!

In recent years, western education has been increasingly favored by China families. However, China's education system has been transformed into that of European and American countries, which inevitably needs some adaptation.

In particular, senior one in China, as a part of senior high school, focuses on learning the basic knowledge of liberal arts and science. Although their teaching goal depends on moral education, under the influence of the college entrance examination, students' attention is still mostly focused on their academic performance, ignoring the shaping of innovation consciousness and social practice consciousness. This sense of lifelong harm to students is really not easy to change.

Ireland's docking school year can not only help students move from dependent learning and training junior high school to independent learning and training senior high school, but also bring good opportunities for international students to integrate into the new education system.

In addition, the training content in Ireland is very flexible. The school will provide more than 20 courses for students to choose according to their hobbies. As long as students are interested and want to learn, whether it is language expression ability, modern sculpture or physical fitness, the school will try its best to do it.

They attach great importance to and encourage students' diversified strategies, hoping that the school can become the cornerstone and supporter of students' self-improvement.

The school will organize some intra-school and inter-school theme activities, including sports competitions, model United Nations, BT youth science and technology competitions, dramas and so on.
