5 years of high school
In Malaysia, secondary school lasts for five years, excluding 1 preparatory classes for students with poor academic performance. In contrast, secondary schools in China need six years, including three years in junior high school and three years in senior high school.
Three years in junior high school and two years in senior high school.
In China, junior high school is 3 years and senior high school is 2 years. In Malaysia, junior high school and senior high school in secondary school are two years and three years respectively.
College Entrance Examination and Secondary Five
In China, the college entrance examination is held in senior three. In Malaysia, we are in the fifth grade, that is, the second grade in the last year of middle school. Therefore, when the students in China are still struggling in the third grade, we are actually going through the fifth grade, which is the second grade in the eyes of China students.
The sixth grade is a college preparatory class.
The "sixth grade" mentioned by some netizens is actually not a part of middle school, but a government college preparatory class. Although it is in middle school, it is more like the entry level of university courses. I graduated from the sixth grade last year!
Independent college preparatory class campus
Recently, I heard that the Malaysian Education Bureau is building an independent campus for pre-university courses, aiming at enhancing the image of government pre-university courses. This has undoubtedly injected new vitality into our education system!
