"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -Nelson Mandela
Education is very important in our life. Without education we can't know more about many things in the word at. We need education, it's not only want to become a smart boy/girl. But we need education to become someone useful.
Every education system in the country are different. In here, i will tell you about one of education system in the world.
Taiwan Education System
Primary Education
The Taiwanese education system has been challenged for emphasising learning by rote as opposed to understanding. Yet 95% of children go on after their mandatory 9 years to study further at high schoosl, trade schools or college. The first 6 grades are taken at elementary school, where English is compulsory and the range of other subjects would outshine those at many third-world middle schools.
Middle Education
At junior high school the main goal of pupils to is capture high marks to help them study further. Many stay on at school long after hours to attend extra classes that may only end at 8pm. The curriculum is similarly impressive, including literature, maths, english language, science and technology, social studies, civics, history and geography. At the end of this phase, students are assigned to more advanced schools on the basis of their performance in the national senior high school entrance examination.
Secondary Education
Senior high school lasts for 3 years during which the goal of students is to aspire to enter university. Discipline is in the hands of military officers and incidents of misbehaviour are rare. There is often a choice between science and liberal arts programs. University entrance is granted through entrance examinations, followed by lecturer recommendations regarding the best study course to follow.
Vocational Education
Vocational training takes place in parallel for 3 years too. Here though, there is greater emphasis on vocationally relevant practical skills. Most students choose to specialize in a core subject, for example computer science, a particular engineering skill, or business methods. It is not unusual for students to follow this route to university too.
Tertiary Education
There are over 100 higher education institutions in Taiwan. These include many accredited trade schools and colleges. Some of these are state-controlled and some are private businesses. Engineering is the most popular course and accounts for 25% of degrees awarded.
The most prestigious universities include National Taiwan University (north, comprehensive, illustrated opposite), National Chung Hsing University (middle, agriculture and biology) and National Cheng Kung University (south, engineering, medical, science)
School grades in Taiwan are as follows:
Pre-school/Kindergarten - 4 - 6 years old
Elementary - 6 - 12
Junior high - 12 - 15
Senior high or vocational - 15 -18
University / College - 18 - 25 (depending on degree length)
