Compare American and Chinese Universities

With the development of a progressive and civilized society, education becomes a greater priority. In separate countries, there are distinct differences in the systems and methods by which education is practiced. The Canadian secondary school educational system is different from the Chinese education system in four main areas: the subjects offered for study, requirements for graduation, the authority of the teachers and the physical aspects of the institutions.

In order to accommodate the year round calendar, there are several forms of year round education. The first form follows a single track calendar. This is the most popular type of calendar (Shields, 2000). A single track year is usually implemented to “provide a more balanced and enriched education program or to accommodate the special scheduling needs of a community” (Glines, 2002, 2699). A single track calendar takes on a 45/15 design. This is where students go to school for forty-five days in a row, and then have a fifteen day break. It is a continuous cycle. Schools usually begin in early August, and follow this pattern four times to complete the school year (Glines, 2002). The three week break in between is called an intersession. During this time, students can choose to take additional educational courses through “remedial,

A country’s economic system decides its education system. Since China and Canada have different economic systems, China is developing on a diversified ownership economy, while Canada is running its economy by pure capitalism. It is obvious two different education systems run in those two countries respectively. And from my personal experience and some hearing from my friends, I found five main disadvantages of China’s education comparing with Canada’s education.

The year-round school schedule does not take away from students, it simply stretches out the traditional 180 days (source 4). Typically students attend school for 10 months with a three month summer break, often while students are out for these three months they tend to forget

In beginning in the middle school years, students will make choices about academic courses during the next semester. This will be a tiered process beginning with the middle school choices only being in the arts. Later in high school, the choices will be limited by grading, but is only open blocks available to seniors and juniors. The counseling department will overtake action planning night including explaining the process to the various groups, insuring each student is in proper placement, advising the high school students possible choices related to their interest, discussing with faculty to ensure student can meet course expectations, and providing additional assistance during drop/add period (length TBA).

The schools of Chinese and Canada have lots of differences. Study in China and Canada vary in terms of student’s learning style, the teaching style, and the collaboration. Other important differences exist, too, but none of these makes one place better than other. They just have emphasis, and students of China and Canada have different good quantities. The schools are simply different. Only people who have experienced studying in both schools of China and Canada can truly appreciate the unique characteristics of

One of the things that surprised me the most about China was the types of technology used there. It surprised me that in China people would use not only the same types of technology as us but also for a lot of the same purposes. Here in the United states we have the attitude that everywhere else in the world uses technology differently, and if they do use it the same they don’t use it as often. I learned however, that in China they can be just as dependant on their technology even if it is not for the same reason. There are other similarities between China and the United States such the same kinds of expectations from home relating to education success, though they are a bit stronger of a force in China than here. On the other hand there are

Each country has its own kind of education, and education always plays an important role in affecting students’ life and study on many aspects. Having received ten years of education in China and two years of education in the U.S. I would like to compare and contrast a few significant aspects of these two different kinds of educations. Knowing that no two education systems are the same, the differences between American education and Chinese education allow countries to take the essence and discard the dross through learning from each other so as to improve their own current education systems.

Sometimes, Americans tend to think that they are the best at everything, no matter what. However, if one looks at the facts, he would see that they aren't. In education, America is trailing behind many countries. In America there is much stress with schooling, and how it is so important to be successful. Things such as the length of school, cost of schooling, and the early ages of schooling, will show how countries such as the U.K. are surpassing the United States in education.

I remember the first time when I held my schedule, I was surprised and wondered why the schedule in the US had less subject and only used the schedule for a semester and the second semester would be changed. in my country Vietnam, I had only one schedule for a whole school year and I had to learn all of 13 subjects within a week and repeated entire the year. I realized school in the United States is much easier than in Vietnam. For example, American students are struggle in school like math and chemistry, they are fall behind Asian students, I can see that these subjects in my high school years and in college is not difficult like

The differences that exist between the Chinese and American education systems are great and obvious. However, some of these differences don’t play to the strengths of the representative country. American schools allow for greater freedom of movement and choice, while Chinese schools decide the “what”, “where”, and “how” of educational circumstance for the students (Bush, tony, and Qiang Haiyan). These differences in structure should lead to a greater educational standard being held by China, but that isn’t always the case. This paper will examine the differences in education system in the two countries and show that the Chinese system, while

The United States and China aspire to command the world economy, but their lifestyle and standpoints look like east and west. When comparing the U.S. and China in Hofstede 6 dimensions model, there were four main dimensions that are strikingly distinctive. These dimensions include individualism, power distance, long-term orientation, and indulgence. Recognizing cultural differences is the first step towards understanding each other. The difference between the United States and China are pronounced, and they merit rigorous examination.

The differences between the Chinese education and the American education are more obvious in people’s mind, not only to the international students, but also to the native students and some people who study on this. As more and more Chinese students come to America to have better education, we should think about why the American education system is better and how could we change our system to have a new education system in China. These differences have some deeply reason, like the American is the nation which loves freedom. It took long time to make such a big difference between the two education systems, and we need longer time to change it. An undeniable

“As a international students, I care a lot about the difference of education system between the U.S. and China.”(culture shock) I realized that the educational ideas
