What's the difference between Hong Kong education and mainland education?

First, the differences in education system.

Schools in Hong Kong are managed by school-run institutions. Every school has autonomy over students, teachers and educational policies. Moreover, only a few public schools are responsible, and the education department is only responsible for allocating resources and supervising the work of schools. The vast majority of schools in the mainland are directly managed by the government, so as to implement a unified education policy throughout the country.

Second, the differences in the education system.

The education system in Hong Kong adopts the British system, and students study in five-year secondary schools. There is no formal difference between junior high school and senior high school (but the outline is still divided into two stages, namely the first to third stage and the fourth to fifth stage). Starting from the 20 12-20 13 school year, the academic system was officially abolished and a new 3+3+4 academic system was implemented. After the reform, the education system is consistent with the mainland.

Third, the difference between language education.

The teaching mode of "being biliterate and trilingual" is widely adopted in education in Hong Kong. I have mastered English learning since kindergarten and started very quickly. Most schools have more foreign teachers, creating a better language environment. Putonghua teaching is widely used in Chinese mainland. As a subject, English is taught in primary schools. If children need to study in an English environment, they can only enroll in international schools, but the cost is generally higher.
