"Readering the System, Choosing the World"

You can't go to a good school in England because you're not the best?

"Can't you go to a good school in England because you're not the best?" Many of the parents in Taiwan actually thought English education too narrowly at the beginning. What we know most is that high school A Level is looking for a job, but there's another very mature system in England: and the British "technical" isn't the "bad reading" that we used to remember. Some students have started to study engineering, information, construction, commerce, design, medical care and even to work directly in enterprises at the age of 16 or 17. Most importantly: Bachelor. This is also where education in the UK is worth studying by parents in Taiwan. What's the way?

T Level can interpret it as the "High School Technical Edition A Level" that the UK has been placing great emphasis on in recent years. The courses are not only theoretical, but also a large number of business internships. Students may be in contact at the age of 17: Engineering Digital Construction Health Business is attractive to students who don't like taking exams, but who are highly capable. Another Taiwan student deserves more attention: HNC HND Bachelor Top-up HNC is about the UK Level 4, HND is Level 5.

The simple understanding is that high school graduate HNC ⁇ HND ⁇ Bachelor Top-up ⁇ has a British bachelor's degree so students do not have to go straight to the traditional Bachelor three years in the first place. Some students can first build up their professional skills and then connect to universities. In particular, it is very common to see this path. Besides, a lot of people have heard of England, but don't think it's just car repair, water and electricity, carpentry.

There is now a British apprenticeship in which companies such as Rolls-Royce, Amazon, NHS, PwC and Deloitte are involved. And even Degree Apprenticeship: Working + going to college + getting paid + accumulated work experience + finally getting a degree, that's where the British are really good at doing their job. But Taiwan’s students must be aware that Apprenticeship is essentially “so instead of taking Student Visa to England, they can apply for all apprenticeships directly.”

For international students, it is usually more worthwhile to study: the Level 3 technical course HNC / HND Foundation Degree, which connects Britain to Bachelor, and I have always felt that one of Taiwan’s biggest problems with education is that it is too easy to put all students on the same path. But some students don't know how to read. He probably just doesn't like dead backs. Don't like the exams. Don't like sitting in the classroom and listening. But giving him a machine, a program, a design project, a real business problem, he did it very well. Why do such students have to force him to walk the same path as everyone else? One of the most interesting features of the British technical system is that it connects “skills, advancements, employment”.

It's not the only school that's successful. It's not just traditional universities that are called promotions. Finding a path to education appropriate to the child ' s abilities is the real thing to do in the planning of school advancement. If children like engineering, information, design, construction, commerce, medical or practical learning, British TVE is really worth studying early.
