What is the experience of studying and living in Ireland when you choose to send your children overseas for education?

I don't want my children to live in a complicated environment. I also want to escape the anxiety of Jiwa and 996. Although I am not a wealthy family, I can choose another life. For the sake of children's education, there is a wave of middle class who are willing to "move to Meng Mu three times", leave the familiar micro-life and move their families abroad. Ireland is their first choice. The Irish government is running the Immigrant Investor Program (IIP/ Immigrant Investor Program). According to the data released by the Irish Ministry of Justice, since the project started, 1 197 investors have been approved, among which more than 93% of the applicants are from China, ranking first.

What about Ireland? The turning point appeared in Matt's second semester plan to enter the new school. His classmate Alice is going to transfer to another school and invites everyone to her carnival party. Originally, Alice's family was going to Ireland to go to school and go through immigration formalities. That day, Alice's mother's words threw a stone in my heart and caused ripples. She said to me:

7 million immigrants can get an identity by investing in Ireland. Not only can the whole family live in a big house with a yard, but the children can also enjoy a completely free Irish public education. Even if you go to a private school, the annual training fee is only 40,000-50,000 RMB, which is far lower than that of international middle schools in China. More importantly, according to the CTA agreement, having an Irish real identity is equivalent to buying a British real identity, and it will be easier for children to take the Irish college entrance examination and apply for Oxford and Cambridge in the future. The Irish college entrance examination has recently been reformed and innovated again, further reducing the pressure on students. Chinese has recently been included in the Irish college entrance examination. Isn't this a sub-topic for China students?

Generally speaking, I used to compare the teaching resources in Ireland and Anhui and Hebei. The pressure of study and training will be very great, and the college entrance examination will not have much advantage. Moreover, our hometown is not a provincial capital city, and we all live in the fourth and fifth tier cities.

Compared with domestic first-and second-tier cities, provincial capital cities have no core competitiveness in teaching resources; And it takes a lot of energy to encourage children. Under such circumstances, the distribution of educational resources in Ireland is relatively symmetrical, only the differences between private schools and public schools, there will be no differences in regional teaching resources, and the teaching system is very complete.

Children from primary school to junior high school go to college, and the pressure of survival is not as great as that in China. Ireland's teaching system is close to that of Britain. After comparison, everyone likes Ireland better. The third main reason is related to oneself. I lived in China for a long time. Although I especially like the natural environment of living abroad and often travel abroad, it is still difficult to make up my mind to take my children abroad to study and live after marriage, so I must make up my mind very boldly.

Because you want to get rid of the social circle of relatives and friends in China, and you want to leave the comfortable circle where you have been accumulating career development in China, it is actually very interesting to live and work in a strange environment.

I took some detours myself. At that time, I didn't dare to make up my mind to come overseas immediately. I still want to stay in China for a while and think it over.
