In some international schools in various districts of Shenzhen, an interesting phenomenon is that more and more international school admissions officers in Shenzhen said they would interview parents to understand their understanding and views on international education.
Parents also need to be interviewed for admission, which seems to be not supported by parents. In the first half of last year, two private primary and secondary schools in Shanghai selected students, and their parents and grandparents were also inspected and tested. Parents who can't accept this evaluation method exposed the topic of parents' interview, which caused an uproar in Shanghai. For this reason, the education authorities in Shanghai reduced the enrollment index of these two schools in that year as a punishment.
As one of the cities with the most developed international education in China, parents and the government in Shanghai are so exclusive to parents' interviews, which is even more obvious in other parts of China. But even so, why do some international schools insist on parent interviews despite the world's disapproval, and there is a trend of rapid expansion?
The root of this contradiction lies in that the goal of Shenzhen international education is the famous schools in the United States and Britain, and the rules of the game of these famous schools must be followed. However, these rules of the game conflict with the traditional educational concept, which leads to the status quo that parents interview and international schools insist on.
Why do parents reject school parents' interviews so much?
Many middle and long-term students have a misunderstanding that studying in an international school is easy and unimportant. But in fact, in order to get the offer of world famous schools, students have to work harder and bear more pressure than the college entrance examination.
The reason why parents form this misunderstanding is that the enrollment rate of senior high schools in China is around 50%. In other words, after completing the nine-year compulsory education, half of the students in China will not be able to enter ordinary high schools and will turn to vocational high schools or technical schools. Learning the latter is often difficult to have a good development prospect in China, which leads to a large number of students who can't go to high school choosing to study abroad. After a long time, China has come to the conclusion that studying abroad is the way out for students with money but poor academic performance.
About 6,543,800+5,000 students study in American universities every year in China. Among these students, there are only about 200 students studying in "Rattan School" and about 20,000 students studying in the top 50 schools in the United States.
To enter the top ten schools, especially the "rattan school", the requirements for students are extremely high. In addition to good TOEFL, SAT and other academic achievements, you also need background promotion activities, excellent documents and so on. For China students who are only seventeen or eighteen years old, it takes a long time to complete these application materials independently. In this process, parents' guidance and help are very important, which is why China International School attaches great importance to parents' views and understanding of studying abroad.
