What are the benefits of studying abroad?

: "Why should we study abroad?"

Objectively speaking, studying abroad is a major decision for everyone and even every family, especially those who want to send their children to study in high school abroad. , college prep parents, there are many factors to consider. In the past two years, some domestic media have had many negative reports on the lives of young international students abroad, which has made parents more hesitant when making decisions.

Zhang Chao, manager and senior consultant of the Shenzhen branch of Guangdong Qide Education, a well-known overseas study service organization, said that instead of focusing on the pros and cons of studying abroad at a younger age, parents may wish to ask themselves: Why should I send my children abroad? Based on his personal understanding of the overall foreign education environment, he believes that studying abroad, especially studying in the United Kingdom and Australia, has seven major advantages.

Continuous evaluation system

In China, children are generally selected for life through one test. The college entrance examination, which many people call the "one-plank bridge", is extremely stressful for children. Foreign high schools generally adopt a continuous performance evaluation system, which is obviously more helpful for children to get a fair measurement.

Stronger competitive potential

The employment reality in recent years has also caused a large number of graduates to endure huge employment pressure after graduation in China, and even face unemployment, or have to start from a very low salary. Start to join the employment army. And this is something that parents in the world never want to see. However, if the child has experience studying abroad, the child's own competitiveness and development potential will be stronger, and he will be able to have a higher career starting point.

Master authentic English

The younger the child, the stronger his ability to imitate language. After two or three years of high school education, children's English proficiency can generally reach the level of domestic English department graduates, and their practical ability will be stronger. Compared with the early international students (at that time, they mainly went abroad to study for master's degrees), they may lack some tribulation experience, but they will definitely be able to master more authentic English than their predecessors.

Flexible teaching methods

Course selection in foreign high schools is more flexible, students can be taught in accordance with their aptitude, and students are encouraged to think independently and use their creativity; abroad, even students with partial subjects can/ She can also choose courses based on her future majors and interests in university, which greatly arouses her enthusiasm for learning and makes it easier for her to obtain high scores and enter a prestigious university for further study.

Opportunities to attend prestigious schools

Peking University Press once published a book called "World's Famous Schools", which lists famous schools in various countries. For example, the United States lists Harvard , MIT, Stanford, etc. The UK lists Oxford and Cambridge, while Australia lists the Australian National University and Melbourne. Unfortunately, the book does not cover Chinese schools. However, if you choose preparatory courses from famous foreign universities, students can easily enter world-class universities that are ranked higher than Tsinghua University and Peking University, such as the University of Queensland in Australia, the University of Sydney, and the University of London in the United Kingdom.

Opportunities to immigrate overseas

Many people hope to immigrate and develop abroad in the future. Studying abroad and obtaining an overseas degree is undoubtedly an excellent springboard. If students complete high school or undergraduate studies locally, their chances of immigration and employment are much greater.

Ability to live independently

Children studying abroad have developed their ability to live independently, which will be of great help to them in adapting to society in the future. Both theory and practice have proven that children’s self-care abilities are developed through training, and the experience of studying abroad is undoubtedly of great value to children’s studies, career prospects, and personality development. "The hundreds of children we send out every year are definitely no better than their peers in self-care ability at home. But after going abroad for a while, when the students came back during the winter and summer vacations, we were impressed. Some of the children who were originally shy also I am willing to take the initiative to deal with people." Zhang Chao said, “It is very gratifying to see these changes.
