The Education Quality of Irish Immigrants in Ireland

Come down in one continuous 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 the IMD world competitiveness ranking in 20 17, Ireland's education system ranked 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.

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.

Close cooperation between enterprises and universities has a high employment rate.

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. For example, Galway, Ireland's hometown of biology, the Irish National Research Center for Biomedicine, and the European headquarters of many European and American biotechnology companies are all built here.

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.

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. Parents can choose their favorite kindergarten and choose different classes according to their children's age, such as infant class (3 months-12 months), preschool class (12 months -2 years old), preschool class (2-3 years old) and preschool class/Montessori class (3-5 years old).

primary education

All children between the ages of 6 and 16 must receive full-time compulsory education in Ireland. As Ireland is a Catholic country, Irish primary and secondary schools include religious schools, non-religious schools, multi-religious schools and Irish schools (schools that teach in Irish). At the same time, Ireland also has public and private schools, as well as boys' schools, girls' schools and mixed schools.

Primary education in Ireland includes two-year preschool education (primary preschool and advanced preschool) and basic education divided into six grades. 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.

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. After junior high school education, students can choose two-year high school graduation examination courses; You can also choose 1 year transitional education and then enter the two-year senior high school entrance examination course.

Considering the adaptability of students, there is a rare "transition year" plan in Ireland's education system. The target audience is students in the transition period of junior high school and senior high school.

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.

University education

Trinity College, which is as famous as Oxford University and Cambridge University, is a famous institution of higher learning in Ireland. Founded in 1592, it is one of the "seven oldest universities in Britain and Ireland", and its graduates' academic qualifications can be recognized globally. Quinn School of Business, University of Dublin, Ireland (undergraduate) is a business school with both American Business School Association and European Quality Improvement System certification. Only 20 business schools in the world have won two awards at the same time.

Extended reading: considerations of Irish immigrants

I. Incomplete immigration application materials

Although the immigration conditions in Ireland are simple, the process of preparing immigration materials will still be complicated, and it will inevitably take a lot of time to prepare. For high net worth people, work is already very busy at ordinary times. If you still prepare your own immigration materials, even if you are familiar with the immigration policy, you will inevitably miss the details, and you will not be able to do enough without adequate preparation.

In order to ensure that all Irish immigration materials can be prepared completely and correctly, it is suggested that applicants can do it with the assistance of professional immigration agencies. Seeking the assistance of professional immigration agencies not only saves time and effort, but also ensures the accuracy of immigration materials and improves the success rate of immigration.

Second, insufficient funds are prepared.

Ireland has the lowest investment among English-speaking immigrant countries, and only needs 500,000 euros. In addition, in the five-year process of 2 million pounds (RMB 20 million exchange) of British immigrants, if the funds are less than 2 million pounds, it is necessary to make up the position, and the actual final cost is actually more than 2 million pounds. However, after the initial investment, Ireland does not need additional capital.

Perhaps most people think that Ireland only needs an investment of 500,000 euros when they see it, but they don't know that Irish immigrants need to provide proof of assets of 2 million euros, which is why many people who don't understand immigration policies are refused visas!
