1 and 15 years free education.
In Hong Kong, both permanent residents and non-permanent residents can enjoy the same educational rights. Since 20 17, Hong Kong's free compulsory education system has covered 15. Including preschool education (3 years), primary education (6 years), junior high school education (3 years) and senior high school education (3 years).
2. Integrating with international teaching since childhood.
Hong Kong is bilingual in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. English learning level is high, and children begin to learn English from kindergarten. In language education, the emphasis is on application. At the same time, the Education Panel of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong has accelerated the education of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), making the teaching content more extensive. With Hong Kong identity, you can also apply for international schools all over Hong Kong.
3. HKU is preferred.
Hong Kong DSE is an entrance examination connecting secondary schools and universities. Nicknamed "Hong Kong College Entrance Examination", but the difficulty of the examination is equivalent to the level of the mainland examination, which is relatively simple. With Hong Kong identity, you can take the DSE exam without permanent residence. Therefore, many parents are striving for the DSE exam for their children and rushing to apply for Hong Kong status.
The difference between Hong Kong education and mainland education;
1, with different educational systems.
Hong Kong's academic system includes 2-3 years of pre-school education, 9 years of free education in primary and secondary schools, 4 years of senior high schools and preparatory courses: including 2 years of senior high schools (Secondary 4 and 5) and 2 years of preparatory courses (Secondary 6 and 7).
However, since September 2007, Hong Kong has implemented a new [3-3-4] academic system, that is, three years of junior high school, three years of senior high school and four years of university, instead of the traditional British academic system (three years), and implemented a four-year university system.
The academic system in the Mainland includes 1 year or above preschool education (kindergartens are generally run by the people), 6 years of primary education, 3 years of junior high school education and 3 years of senior high school education. Primary school and junior high school are compulsory education, 9 years. The academic system of ordinary high schools is 3 years.
2. Different management systems
According to the organizer, primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong can be divided into three categories: government schools, aided schools and private schools. Public schools are schools run and managed by the government. Subsidized schools are schools sponsored by various voluntary organizations such as churches, social organizations and fellow villagers' associations and funded by the government; Private schools are run by private individuals in accordance with relevant regulations, and the funds are basically self-raised.
Primary and secondary education in the Mainland implements a hierarchical division of labor management system with local emphasis and national macro guidance. The Ministry of Education is responsible for formulating laws, principles and policies on basic education, overall development plans and basic academic system.
3. Different teaching modes
Education in Hong Kong is student-centered and advocates academic freedom and open education. Classes are taught in Chinese, Cantonese and English, with a high level of English learning. Children have been learning English since kindergarten. In language education, practicality is more important than communication.
On the other hand, education in mainland China is mainly exam-oriented, and it is mostly carried out by "teachers teach students to listen" and content indoctrination, which is strong in theory and weak in practice.
