International School Students and the Chinese Language.
After many education reforms, parents are losing confidence in local schools and turning their attention to international schools. Local schools emphasise academic achievements, but international schools focus on cultivating their students' morals and interests. Nevertheless, having less than proficient Chinese might become an hindrance in daily life and restrict one's career options. Will they regret?
特區教育改革很快很多,令不少家長擔心本地學校教育質量,他們寧願把子女送到國際學校讀書,這是普遍的趨勢。本地學校注重學業成績,國際學校則著重培養學生的德育和興趣發展。家長們都只重視發展子女的英文或其他外文能力。國際學校學生的中文水平較低,他們未必能夠應付香港日常生活的需要,選擇職業也受到限制。他們會不會後悔呢?
