本地學校讀IB,和去英國中學讀IB，考香港大學的分別

ABC-DAD

去英國讀Y12/3? 話易唔易，話難都可以係難，好睇回港讀大學有咩目標。
中文對入本地大學嘅影響慢慢減退緊嘅趨勢都幾明顯，只為避中文去轉，好似有必要考慮清楚。

你講咩一我閱讀理解一向唔高分。我意思係要睇下大學選科目標係咩，目標定得高year 12/13 都要付出相當，係唔易達到目標。

有人唔介意，入到大學就得，亦有人目標明確，爭取競爭激烈的大學科目。

課程深淺難易因人而異，我習慣會比出路闊窄及面對咩對手。

樓主朋友，中 英 西方面語言能力都弱，下決心去英國Boarding Shool 浸下英語似乎是可取嘅方向。花時間諗攪好中文就好窄下，不太可取。

幾年前，the Telegraph 教育版嘅文章，睇下都唔錯嘅。節錄部份如下。
"The IB was introduced in the late Sixties to cater for the growing numbers of internationally mobile students who wanted an education that was not tied to any national government’s agenda. More than that, it sought to bring together Cold War children from the West and the East, and thereby promote future peace.

Even today, the International Baccalaureate Organization is driven by a somewhat grand mission statement, which reads: “The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.”

Of the four study programmes now offered by the IBO, by far the most popular in the UK is the IB diploma. It is not just an alternative to A-levels but an entirely different two-year programme of learning.

During the course, students pick one subject from each of six subject groups – languages, sciences, the arts, and so on – and study three of these to a higher level. In addition, they take a course in “the theory of knowledge” (TOK), write an extended essay and participate in “creativity, action, service” – a nonexamined module that focuses on — yes — creativity, sport and community service.

Grading at the end comes down to a points score: marks out of seven for each subject, and three possible additional points for the combined TOK and essay, for a maximum of 45 points."

To choose between A-levels and International Baccalaureate, ask whether you are a specialist or an all-rounder.
This is the time of year when Year 11 students across the country are enrolling at sixth-form open mornings to consider their future options. One factor they increasingly need to consider is whether to study A-levels or the International Baccalaureate.

With 150 British schools and colleges now registered to offer the IB – still a very small proportion of the schools in England – there is a very real alternative to the traditional A-level route to university entrance.

So what are the differences?。。。。

我估你只睇左我節錄嘅部份。

分享上面兩文，係畀家長樓主同其他家長睇下英國方便對IB Al 之間某啲睇法，只係 一鱗半爪。

Head of BC 文中結尾係咁:

"My advice to Year 11 students is the same as the motto carved into the wall of the oracle’s temple at Delphi: know thyself. Think very deeply about what would best suit you as an individual.

And remember, the best sixth formers are not outstanding because they follow the A-level or the IB, they are outstanding because they have teachers who inspire them intellectually. That is what you must look for as you head from one open day to another."[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi]

而且亦是2011嘅觀感，現時會否就社會脈搏調整左，看官自行決定。有無課程比其他課程更優秀，會深度幫到學生更有力去適應社會，我[ 不敢苟同]。父母師長朋友的元素我會看重一點。

唔好客氣，做大決定前，可以有多角度嘅訊息會實在點。

事實好多香港去嘅y10學生,GCSE考11/12 科全A，三種語言嘅大有人在，8/9個A*升sixth form再報4/5科AL. 我估佢地都好有競爭力。

係咪精英尚言之過早，能夠揾到合適嘅土壤，多多少少會有助益嘅，重點係自願去，有志向同目標最重要，更加上可以培養獨立能力，並且不在父母直接影響下發展個性，如條件許可，係一個好嘅方向。

去得日子長，就會發覺天外有天，人上有人，同埋在文化差異的環境下如何自處。

What IB aim for is not a guarantee.
Nor the only way of making good future leaders.

What I share here is a small window for other information. Take a look before  going out for difference curriculum. Parents' choices isn't it?
