1. The government treats all public and private schools equally and competes fairly.
The school system in Britain is a dual-track system, where public schools and private schools coexist, both of which are encouraged and supported by the state. There are two in Britain? In 400 private schools, about 1 out of every 13 school-age children attend private schools. Private schools are not discriminated against in legislation and related policies. From the setting of the whole education system, the two have equal status, complement each other, compete on an equal footing, promote each other and develop together.
2. The diploma system is perfect and can meet all kinds of educational needs.
In Britain, the diploma system is very scientific and perfect, and students have many choices at every stage of education. The curriculum is closely linked with practice, and a series of diploma courses at different levels are set according to people's different educational needs, so that people can receive education at any time according to the needs of employment, reducing the number of people whose hobbies are inconsistent with professional education and broadening the employment path of college graduates, instead of being crowded on the only road to find jobs according to their majors.
The British campus "has no walls" and is open to the society. Graduation from college doesn't mean once and for all. People can go to school, recharge their batteries and carry out job training at any time, or call it vocational training. It is worth mentioning that various diplomas and academic systems in Britain can be mutually recognized and transformed. Most majors can be studied at different levels, and some courses can lay the foundation for students to continue their studies for university degrees. For example, vocational training and higher education can be mutually transformed. Students can "upgrade" their diplomas as long as they continue to complete the required courses and complete a considerable number of credits.
3. Adopt scientific heuristic teaching.
The history of English learning methods can be traced back to about 800 years ago. It has promoted the establishment of the education system all over the world and is still the most successful model. One of the reasons why British education is unique and enduring in the world and has cultivated countless outstanding talents is that British students are different from our cramming teaching methods. They have received heuristic education that inspires them to think positively since childhood, rather than the simple one-way process of teachers. This teaching method is scientific and reasonable, which can make everyone's potential be developed, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, become talents in different functional fields, avoid talent waste to the greatest extent and benefit the society.
4. Compromise examination method
The assessment of British universities is very flexible, which can be carried out through internships, writing articles, interviews and other forms. Therefore, the evaluation of a person's ability must be comprehensive and rich. In addition, unlike our 100 grading system, the British exam is divided into four grades of ABCD. For example, from 70- 100, the score is a, and from 60-69, the score is b. At the time of admission, the teacher should compare the students' abilities according to the comprehensive investigation of their majors and have the right to choose. For example, the admission standard for a major is 2 A's 1 B's. If you are an A with a score of 100, but if the teacher thinks you are a dead student from other angles, it is possible to admit others with 70 points, but it is not necessary to admit you. English teachers have this right. Because the examination system in Britain is completely different from ours, instead of focusing on completing the examination in three days, it combines students' usual homework, experiments and examinations, and accumulates all their usual achievements before making an evaluation. Therefore, it can better reflect the actual ability of students.
5. The course is novel and practical, keeping up with the development of the times.
Another reason for keeping British education young is that there are not only "intelligent" universities focusing on academic research, but also universities specializing in training "hands-on" talents for society. These two universities complement each other, and students can decide which university to apply for according to their interests, abilities and ambitions before entering the university. In addition, the courses and majors offered by British universities are novel and practical, which are closely related to social needs. The students trained in this way can find jobs smoothly and will not cause pressure to the society. In addition, British education emphasizes lifelong system, because compulsory education cannot satisfy all the knowledge of a person's life and needs constant charging. At present, about 40% of secondary school graduates in Britain enter public or private continuing education colleges every year.
6. The industrialization of education operates clearly.
Education in Britain obviously operates in an industrialized way. The British government has always regarded education as a national industry and encouraged development. For example, the Queen of England awards the Queen's Award to those universities that recruit the most overseas students and have the most successful education, or those institutions that have the most successful overseas education.
7. The combination of diploma examination and vocational certificate examination.
Combining a student's diploma exam with the vocational certificate exam he will take in Britain in the future can save money and effort in obtaining vocational qualification certification. For example, the British Certified Public Accountant (ABCA), British undergraduate graduates who want to obtain this title can be exempted from taking 6-8 courses in all ABCA 14 courses. The same is true of other majors. In other words, while you are studying in the university, you will lay the foundation for your future vocational diploma.
8. Flexible admission to universities
The enrollment of British universities is very flexible. We should not only look at students' test scores, but also take students' outstanding ability in other aspects as the standard, unlike we only recognize test scores, "1 score is a dead card" (except for a few special students such as sports film stars). British universities have different admission criteria for adults, people over 2 1 year old and high school graduates. For adults, the school can not only relax the admission conditions, but also take his work experience as the reference standard for admission. For example, if a student's relevant work experience satisfies the school, he can be admitted even if his diploma fails to meet the admission criteria. Similarly, for overseas students, because most British schools realize that the unified entrance examination in Britain is not suitable for foreign students from countries with different education systems, their admission is more flexible.
9. The quality of education is decided by others.
Britain has a scientific education quality assurance system. From the service and help provided to students to the quality of teachers, every registered school in Britain is strictly supervised and inspected by the government. Each course is evaluated according to a unified standard, and the results are published, so that students can clearly understand the teaching quality of all schools offering the same major. Colleges and universities in Britain are strictly supervised by the Higher Education Grants Committee and the Higher Education Quality Committee. Among them, the Higher Education Appropriation Committee evaluates the teaching quality of this major, publishes a report and points out its advantages and disadvantages; The Higher Education Quality Committee checks how schools ensure teaching quality and certificates, and the inspection results are also announced to the public. Since 1997, the two institutions have merged to form the Higher Education Quality Assurance Bureau, which is more efficient.
The quality of teaching in British schools is certified by external examiners, not by the schools themselves. Even students' test scores are not judged by school teachers alone, but also by external examiners. If the examiner thinks the teacher's grade is unreasonable, he can make adjustments. Through the operation of such a management and certification system, the diplomas issued by each university in Britain have been internationally recognized, and diplomas between universities can also be recognized each other.
10. Regular supervision and sense of crisis.
The British government regularly evaluates the teaching quality and scientific research level of colleges and universities through relevant professional committees, and announces the overall and professional rankings of the schools to the public. Its purpose is to facilitate students to understand British universities and urge them to improve themselves in this way.
1 1. One-stop service for talent training and employment
British universities adopt one-stop service in recruiting students, training and recommending students for employment. They not only take teaching and educating people as their responsibility, but also strive to let students learn useful things and provide perfect services in employment. First of all, when setting courses, we should closely combine the needs of enterprises, industries and all walks of life to determine the training direction and content of students, so that graduates can easily find their own position in society.
It is precisely because of the above scientific and reasonable measures that British education can remain young and full of vitality.
