Chapter II Educational Advantages of Irish Immigrants

1, in line with British education.

Following Britain's withdrawal from the EU, Ireland will become the official English-speaking country among EU member states. As a former British colony, Ireland's school and education system are basically modeled after Britain. So Ireland has always been regarded as the birthplace of traditional education in Britain, just like Britain.

The government attaches great importance to education.

As early as the Middle Ages, Ireland was already the leader of western education. In IMD world competitiveness ranking, Ireland's education system ranks seventh in the world, surpassing Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Compared with other European countries, the tuition fees in Ireland are very low, which is inseparable from the overall support of the Irish government in education.

3. Low tuition and high cost performance.

The cost of studying abroad in Irish universities is much lower than that in the United States and Britain. For example, the annual tuition fee of the National University of Ireland is 9000- 13000, the Polytechnic University is 8000- 9000, and the private university is 6000- 8000. After accounting, the cost of education in Ireland is only 60% of that in Britain and 70% of that in the United States. So many people from China who choose Irish immigrants go here because of the low tuition and high cost performance.

4. Enterprises cooperate closely with universities, and the employment rate is high.

For a long time, the employment rate of Irish university graduates in Europe is much higher than that in other countries, and the unemployment rate is very low. This also benefits from the close combination of higher education and industry.

Ireland's information and software industry is very developed, and it is called "Silicon Valley of Europe". At present, more than 65,438+0,200 internationally renowned companies have set up branches in Ireland, and the European headquarters of many companies, such as Apple, Intel, Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Twitter, are also stationed here. For Irish university graduates, the establishment of these multinational companies means great employment advantages and provides them with a lot of valuable opportunities to enter multinational companies for internships or work.

In addition, there are many pharmaceutical companies and research centers in Ireland, which provide a lot of internship and job opportunities for students.

Students majoring in finance and accounting can also find a place in Ireland. The European headquarters of the four world-renowned accounting firms are all set up in Ireland, providing a large number of internship and employment opportunities every year. Students with a bachelor's degree in accounting in Ireland can be exempted from nine basic courses of ACCA.

5. Unique early education system

In Ireland, there is an early childhood care and education (ECCE) program, which provides free early childhood care and education for preschool children (3 hours a day). The plan covers the period from birth to five and a half years old.

Every school has its own enrollment policy, and the school will enroll students according to its own enrollment policy, but there is no guarantee that all students who submit applications will get places. Therefore, as parents, we must first confirm the list of primary schools in our living area and submit applications as soon as possible to obtain places.

7. Secondary education

Middle school education in Ireland includes three years of junior high school education and two to three years of senior high school education. Junior high school education ends with obtaining the graduation certificate of senior high school entrance examination.

In this plan, except for a few cultural classes, students will be arranged to participate in activities organized by the school most of the time. Students can make use of the "transition year" to enrich their social experience and work experience, and let them know their future development goals before entering high school education.

8. University education
