Title: compare and contrast Australian and Chinese high school education
In elementary education, Australia follows a current method to educate students whilst China utilizes traditional approach to help children become successful learners. This essay will compare and contrast Chinese and Australian high school education about teaching methodology, the high school curriculums and the time spent at school.
Firstly, Chinese and Australian high school teaching styles appear to be different but also similar in some aspects. The noteworthy difference is the class atmosphere of these two countries. The atmosphere of Australia is quite relaxing and casual while Chinese is formal and serious. In Australia, most of the teachers would take full use of the classroom, sitting on the desk, or even having class outdoor. This might be for checking whether the entire students understand what they’ve learnt or not. By contrast, in China, teachers remain in the front of the class just for watching all of the students. Another difference is that Australian students contribute to the discussion and are expected to ask questions. However, Chinese teachers want students to rise questions only when they are told to, for example, if the class is interrupted by asking questions without teachers permission, it is generally considered as rude in China. In addition, both countries have rules of respecting teachers and classmates which are done differently. The children of Australia are not required to stand up when teachers enter the classroom but Chinese students do. After all, these two countries use different ways for one goal, which is to make students study well enough. Although Chinese always want children to grow up as a high-qualified talent and Australian want children to develop more hobbies and become creative.
Secondly, there are both some remarkable similarities and differences of high school curriculums. Both countries have compulsory subjects, English for Australia while Chinese, math and English for China, and all students need to pass the exams for graduation. Besides, students are able to choose at least 90 selective courses to learn. Unfortunately students in China cannot make the decision. Instead the educators in China determined it objectively. It is the traditional opinion that these subjects can bring the necessary knowledge and skills to students. On the other hand, Australians mainly aim at cultivating independent thinking which means students can make their own choice.
Thirdly, the time spent at school seems different but also similar. The similarity is both of these two countries’ students should attend school 5 days per week, from Monday to Friday, the difference is the school year. Australian students are only required to attend high school for 4 year that means they could leave school before 17 years old. Chinese students always spend 6 years in high school and thus, they might be even 20 when they graduate. Another difference is the length of the holidays. For instance, Austria has 12 weeks per year, from Dec. the 22nd to Jan. the 28th in summer, Mar. the 29th to Apr. the 14th in autumn, Jun. the 29th to Jul. the 14th in winter and Sep. the 21st to Oct. the 6th in spring. But China just has 8 weeks during the summer and winter. This could because of the attitude to the life. Australian spend more time on relaxing and adjustment during the vacations while most Chinese prefer working or studying so that they can survive in the social competition.
In conclusion, this essay points out the differences and similarities between Chinese and Australian high school education in three aspects. Firstly, these two countries use different ways to help students become a successful learner, secondly the curriculums are different because of the different goals, at last, and the two countries have different holidays.
