High schools in Australia are usually divided into public and private schools, but it is difficult to sum up their advantages and disadvantages in one sentence. Things are often not absolute, but relative. As far as the education system and the quality of teachers are concerned, there is not much difference between public and private. They are extremely strict because they follow the British education system and teacher evaluation mechanism. The difference is that there are different emphases in some aspects.
Advantages and disadvantages of public middle schools coexist.
There are more than 100 government public secondary schools in six states and two special zones in Australia. These middle schools are all invested by the government and managed by the State Education Bureau. Not for profit, it mainly recruits local students and overseas students.
Advantages of public middle schools:
1. It is invested and managed by the government, and the teaching of teachers is managed by the Ministry of Education of the state government.
2. Because they are mainly local students, the language environment is good, and there are generally independent campuses with good environmental facilities.
3. The tuition fee is relatively cheap, and the tuition fee for one year is generally around10.2 million Australian dollars (about 72,000 yuan).
Weaknesses of public secondary schools:
1. Although public middle schools take care of foreign students quite a lot, some better private middle schools take care of foreign students more thoughtfully.
2. Public middle schools are managed by the government, and there is little difference in the teaching level of public middle schools in the state. However, as far as the overall teaching quality of middle schools is concerned, it is still slightly inferior to that of private middle schools.
3. Students applying for public schools usually submit their applications to the State Education Bureau, and the specific schools cannot be determined before registration. The final arrangement of the school is decided by the State Education Bureau.
Private secondary schools are divided into three categories.
Private secondary schools in Australia are generally run by churches, enterprises and private individuals, and the teaching quality is uneven. However, many elite middle schools follow the British education system, study rigorously, and the university enrollment rate is very high.
1, the first category is missionary schools.
In addition to mixed schools, there are boys' schools and girls' schools. This kind of missionary private middle school inherits the teaching methods of traditional English missionary schools, which not only educates students in their studies, but also trains them in their words and deeds.
2. Excellent independent middle schools
The name of a middle school is usually named after its founder to attract students through its accumulated excellent teaching reputation. These schools have often experienced hundreds of years of history and formed a set of unique teaching models and methods, which are the best types of institutions in Australian secondary schools.
3. Middle schools affiliated to universities
Many universities in Australia have subordinate secondary schools, which use the teaching facilities and teachers of universities to carry out education. Such schools are usually located in or near university campuses. Students can feel the learning atmosphere of the university in advance when they study at school, which is very helpful for entering the university for further study in the future.
When parents choose to send their children to private schools or public schools, they should combine the actual situation of children and families to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the two, so as to make a relatively correct choice.
