High School Educational System in Contrast between Canada and China 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. The first obvious difference in the education system between Canada and China is in the subjects that are offered for study. In China, there are two systems for students to choose in

Chinese teachers always emphasize the importance of rote learning and the value of marks. However, Canadian teachers give students more freedom and offer the opportunity to develop their interests. Furthermore, Chinese teachers are much stricter than Canadian teachers. Sometimes, a teacher in China can punish a student by assaulting them, which is due to the fact that teachers in China are held as being above question, while by law. Canadian teachers are not
Despite the many differences in Canada’s and China’s education systems, there are a few similarities between them. In both countries, it is mandatory for children to receive a a certain amount of education. Chinese children must get at least nine years of schooling, which is funded by the government. On the other hand, Canadian children must get education up to the age of sixteen (ages may vary between various provinces.) The subjects taught in both countries are also alike. Mathematics, history, and fine arts are some examples of the shared subjects.
Canada's educational system is similar to the United States. They have three levels, Elementary (Primary School), Secondary (High School)
Over a period of year’s education has grown to be very important to many cultures all over the world. At one time in many cultures children were only taught what was necessary to get along and sometimes only children of the wealthy would be taught. China’s government
In my view, I contributed a lot to the process and the outcome of the project. I searched for tons of information about cultural differences between Canada and China on the Internet and conducted surveys of differences of clothing and foods in the Masonville Mall and some local restaurants. Also, I divided cultural differences into five categories, which are clothing, food, housing, transportation and daily Canadian customs. In the whole process, I made great efforts to collect information as much as possible so that various information can be included in our app designing. What I did in the process laid the groundwork for the outcome. Meanwhile, I came up with designing an app in the end of our project and devoted myself to design the layout of our app as well as the content, which is conducive to show our project more clearly.
First of all, theory disadvantage. Traditional Chinese teaching method is based on the principle of “rotate learning, skill comes”. Thus, students need to do a lot of practices everyday to get questions and
Western parents allow their children to to accept that fact that they got a bad grade on some assignment, while Chinese parents make their children correct whatever they did wrong. Chinese parents order their children to get exceptional grades, while Western parents can only ask their children to do well. Chua says, “If a child came home with an A- on test, a Western parent will most likely praise the child, but the Chinese mother will gasp in horror and ask what went wrong”(Chua 307). Chinese parents believe their children are capable of doing anything as long as they work hard at achieving it. Western parents can only help their children do well in school by trying to prepare them, and not pushing too hard. Chinese parents think that their children owe them everything and not the other way around. This is most likely because Chinese parents work very hard at raising capable children, and that they have worked hard to make them productive in life. Therefore, the parents expect much in return. Chua says “my husband Jed actually has
There are always many differences and similarities between two countries, even they are in close geographical area. Both United States and Canada are on the America continental, therefore the United States and Canada are in close geographical location and in the neighborhoods, most people think that culturally they are same .But this is not true. Despite all similarities between these two countries, there are many differences between them.
The Chinese government set up a wide system of primary schools. For the first time in all of China’s history the majority of the population received a complete basic education. Even though the government’s “Great Leap Forward” program didn’t put
Canada and Sweden are both wealthy countries without any major issues such as natural disasters or dictatorship. These circumstances have made it a lot easier for the countries to develop good school systems. Because these countries are so similar and because they have developed in the same pace, the school systems are very similar. I have chosen to focus on the differences and similarities between these two countries when it comes to the first six years of education including preschool.
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.
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
In this paper, it will be looking at the culture and education practices of Finland, Canada, and China. Education varies from country to country as well as does one's culture, lifestyle of the people who live there. In doing so will review their culture and the role of their education policies that are used to motivate schools and teachers to improve student learning along with how their culture plays into learning. Furthermore, children should be taught with respect to their culture. However, we can also learn from one another. In addition, we have similar and different educational practices from one another. Such as when it comes to the Finnish, Canadians, to the Chinese as, we all learn in different environments because of our
In Canada all citizens have a right to education, and this policy is primarily associated to children, and all children even those with disabilities have these rights as Canadian citizens. All children are entitled to a quality, and safe learning experience which accommodates to their needs. To ensure that all students have equal and fair educational opportunities, many Canadian provinces have implemented policies to monitor the educational system. There are some issues with this freedom to equal and accommodating educational opportunities, since the policies are not consistent throughout the country, and their has been reported neglect of children with disabilities by their parents. It becomes difficult for the government to strictly monitor
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
