國際學校學生升學的取向

木子兔媽媽

想問有孩子由幼稚園/小一開始就讀國際學校的家長, 除了因為移民外地, 有什麼原因/想法決定他們中學留港升學(本地/國際課程)/外國留學? 謝謝!

冇特別想法，諗住見步行步，煮到埋嚟就食咋！

英基昨日公佈：

ESF announced the data of higher education destinations and areas of studies for our students from the class of 2014. Students are studying at over 250 different higher education institutions in 18 different countries with the most popular being the UK (40%), Hong Kong (22%) and USA (17%). It is notable that an increasing number of students have chosen to remain in Hong Kong for higher education over the last few years – almost double from about 120 in 2011 to 204 in 2014.

May I ask more about the academic preference after finishing elementary education? Thanks!

如外地冇人冇物；正常中學都留香港讀。
揀得國際學校；當然不會考慮中學番轉頭讀本地課程；冇錢交學費除外。

另什麼叫academic preference?

近日有個家長打算IB小學後轉回傳統中学, 因計過佢小朋友考大學時DSE機會大好多, 他孩子出生那每出生率特別低

人各有志，唯有祝佢一路順風。最緊要當事人樂在其中。

If finishing education in a HK university is the plan, then realizing DSE's advantage and making the switch early is better than late.

In this forum we mainly have parents who have chosen IB, myself included. While this is in itself a good choice it is by no means suitable for every family, there are pros and cons, and few people seem to want to acknowledge the cons. The usual excuse is "we can't predict the future and the cons may no longer be there or relevant when the time comes" :)

咁不如一早就讀傳統，中學先由IB轉回傳統，小朋友能不能夠適應都是一個大問題。除非讀啟思這類學校，中學仲可以俾你選擇考lB，還是DSE。

Thank you very much!
At the time being we will stay in HK and have nothing overseas.
We have no absolute preference on education system.
We heard that a number of elementary graduates from IS will go overseas;
And some local system elementary graduates will move to local secondary IS.

有一部份高小或小學畢業後，會去外國讀寄宿學校，日後考入名U機會好d。身邊都有家長的大仔大女咁做，成功考入好好的大學，但咁細個離開父母，青春期吾係身邊引導佢，代價亦吾少...

How about the local system graduates to secondary IS schools? They are also aiming to have a better way out to University too I guess? Is the change of classmate mix dramatic from IS primary school to secondary school as a result? If yes, good to have such?

原則上 IS 的 學生比例是: local vs non- local ratio = 30% vs 70%

幾大成效好難計算，應該係有幫助的。好多家長覺得小學期要打好基礎，這個想法合理，但現時一些local schools在功課量和測考量係好過度，讀完6年小學，恐怕求學的熱誠都被摧毀怠盡，真係得不償失。

好同意！若小學過份催俗，真係會失去學習的熱情。

After the protest of TSA, overall the homework amount is much less now, which is what I heard. One of the question in my head is, what is 'good foundation'? IS builds a good foundation in communication skills and confidence, while local schools' emphasis on material knowledge is also good.

其實local school有什麼基礎是打得特別好?考試技巧除外。

剛在salon，看到十優港姐講自己成績好、體藝勁，但剛到英國升學，和其他外國同學一句都搭吾上，政治、地理、體育、以致娛樂，完全係零....local school的學生，好多係成績好、考試叻、聲樂八級、鋼琴演奏級...剔爆score card，但有形無內的為數不少。培養小朋友，真係希望佢行多一步，成績好之餘，睇多d書、想多d、exposure多d。有料之餘，行出來有型有款，談吐得宜，有自信，有世界觀。

Cannot agree more! I think knowing the world, and being sociable, interpersonal skills is far more important than getting all those certs and qualification.
