Advantages of studying abroad in Spanish high schools and how to choose schools

Choosing a school in the west is too complicated, public, private, semi-public and semi-private ... silly and unclear. But what is the difference between them and how to choose? The following are the advantages of studying in Spanish high schools and how to choose a school. I hope I can help you!

Advantages of studying abroad in Spanish middle schools

In Spanish secondary schools, you can apply directly to the Spanish International University, and the application conditions only need to provide grades. Compared with domestic middle schools applying for famous Spanish schools, all kinds of application materials are prepared at least one year in advance, and the procedures are very complicated, and there are many restrictions on the schools and majors they choose.

The teaching environment in Spain is compulsory bilingual teaching, so with the help of hard standards and language atmosphere, students' language level can be significantly improved, which is not available in China.

In recent years, the Spanish government has issued a series of policies related to studying abroad, providing good study and work opportunities for international students. At the same time, attending Spanish middle schools early can also adapt to the social customs and habits of the country in advance and cultivate strong self-independence ability.

Tsinghua Admissions Office said that starting from 20 17, international undergraduate enrollment in Tsinghua lowered the entry threshold for Spanish high school graduates. All high school graduates who hold Spanish passports or certificates of nationality for more than four years are required to provide Chinese proficiency test scores instead of written tests.

Public, private, semi-public and semi-private schools:

The first is completely subsidized by the state, that is, "public schools". These schools are managed by the national government, autonomous regions or municipal governments, and the school leaders are also relevant personnel of government departments.

The second private management center with state subsidies, that is, "semi-public and semi-private schools", is also called missionary schools. The price of semi-private secondary schools is much lower than that of private secondary schools, but families with difficulties are given priority, and the time is long and the number of places is limited. The ownership of these schools is private or belongs to individuals, entities or foundations, but they are also subsidized by the national government to a large extent, providing education covering all school-age children and adolescents. The staff of these schools are directly managed by the management team.

The third is the center of complete private management, that is, "private schools". Private schools do not have any state subsidies, but they have high tuition fees from students' families and subsidies from different companies or entities. There is no tuition in public middle schools, which is a national welfare project. Although it is compulsory education, the teaching quality of teachers is stable. Generally speaking, children under the age of 16 who apply for family reunion can apply for public middle schools. Private management, tuition is more expensive. However, the education cost of Spanish private (international) middle schools is actually much cheaper than that of China International Middle School. Judging from the advantages and disadvantages of schools, private (international) middle schools are the best, with extensive educational resources, only lower than Britain, France, the United States and other countries.

The differences between public and private schools are compared in three aspects:

Students' grades

If students' grades are compared without considering social and economic indicators, students in private and semi-public schools are better than those in public schools.

In OECD countries, the average score of public schools 15-year-old students is 489, which is 28 points lower than that of private schools.

The countries with the biggest difference between public and private schools are Uruguay (100) and New Zealand (87). On the contrary, in Hong Kong and Luxembourg, the average score of public school students is 36 points higher than that of private school students and 13 points respectively.

In Spain, the math scores of students in private schools are 39 points higher than those in public schools, reaching 565,438+00 points.

Also in the Spanish autonomous region, students in private schools have better grades than those in public schools, with the average difference ranging from 8 in Cantabria to 46 in Madrid.

In OECD countries, 18% of students attend private schools. In EU countries, the proportion is 14%.

In Spain, 32% of students come from private schools, almost twice the average level of OECD countries. Among all Spanish autonomous regions, the proportion of private institutions in five regions exceeds the OECD average: Andalusia, Aragon, Galicia, Estremadura and Murcia.

educational resources

Physical infrastructure and educational resources can't guarantee a good education, but the lack of infrastructure does have a negative impact on education.

The infrastructure of private schools will be better than that of public schools.

In Spanish schools, there are 67 computers for every 65,438+000 students, but the OECD average is 68. Spanish public and private schools are close to the average level of OECD in terms of educational resources, which is lower than that of Britain, France, the United States, Poland, Denmark, Norway or Finland.

admission criteria

Countries such as Poland, the United States and Greece tend to admit students according to their living areas.

In Spain, 62.6% of students are admitted because of housing factors. The enrollment of 7 1% students in Catalonia, 68% students in Andalusia, 34% students in Navarra and 44% students in Aragon are all related to this factor.

In contrast, 90.7% of students in Spain were admitted because of their previous academic performance. However, 97.4% of Dutch schools consider students' past grades, 94% in Japan, 73.3% in Switzerland, 65.7% in Italy and 6 1.6% in Germany. The average level of OECD is 43.2%.

In Spain, the second important factor for schools to consider enrollment is family relations. So 37% students go to a school because there are relatives and friends in the school. In OECD, the ratio is 18.2%.

In addition, in Spain, only 9.28% students have their parents' ideological and religious beliefs when they enter school.

To sum up, whether in Spain or other countries, private schools have better infrastructure and students' academic performance than public schools.
