More comprehensive education

China has promoted quality education for many years, hoping to cultivate children's abilities in all aspects, but the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. To this day, the education we receive in China is basically cramming. Questions and exams are almost all part of learning.

However, this is not the case in Canada. The news that students should not be asked to memorize multiplication tables and mathematical formulas has appeared on the home page of CBC. Therefore, whether in kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school or high school, Canadian teachers will not let students memorize by rote. So what is education like in Canada?

Take high schools in Ontario as an example. Each student must complete 30 credits, 40 hours of volunteer work, and pass the 10th grade English proficiency reading and writing test before graduating from high school. The 30 credits include 18 compulsory courses and 12 elective courses. Students can choose courses based on their future career needs and interests. These courses are diverse. In addition to the courses we generally know, some other courses are designed to improve students' hands-on abilities, such as sewing classes, cooking classes, and some even require students to build a house.

Students’ performance in class is very important, because 70% of the annual grade calculation is based on the performance of the entire semester, including large and small tests, large-scale assignments, project studies, etc. As for the major exam, which is taken very seriously in China, it only accounts for 30% of the total score.

No college entrance examination

Speaking of the college entrance examination, which only accounts for 30%, we have to mention that Canada does not have the college entrance examination. Yes, you read that right, there is no college entrance examination in Canada!

If Canadian students want to apply for university, they generally need three things: application form, high school transcript and application fee. On the application form, the student's basic information and the majors they want to study will be listed. Send these three materials to the university you want to go to, and then wait for the school's notification. The process is very simple.

The general requirement for Canadian universities for students who want to enter is that they have studied at least 6 university preparatory or university college preparatory courses, and some majors have special requirements for the courses they have studied. Meeting these two requirements only means that you have met the "statutory" conditions for applying to university. The type of school you can apply to depends on the student's learning ability. Due to the college entrance examination, universities can only examine students' learning ability through their academic performance in middle schools, and the results in college preparatory courses are the main basis. Canada's top universities, like the University of Toronto, may require students to have an average score in the top 1/3 of their class in college preparatory courses, and some good majors may require an average score of over 90 points.

More culturally diverse

Canada is a country of immigrants with a diverse society. When children first go to Canada, they may find it very strange because unlike in China, their classmates are all Chinese or even locals. In Canadian schools, children can meet white-skinned classmates and make dark-skinned friends. When they see a child with the same skin color as themselves, they will ask which country in Asia they are from.

There are many benefits to living in a multicultural environment. First of all, being exposed to people from different cultural backgrounds can increase your understanding of the world and help you become an international person early on. Secondly, you can take advantage of this multicultural atmosphere to learn different languages. Learning a language is a door to a new world. The most important thing is that by living in diversity, children can learn equality, respect and tolerance. Everyone is different, but we are all the same people, regardless of high or low. We should respect this difference and not affect other people's personal choices.

The benefit of this kind of ideological progress is that your personal choices will not be criticized. In recent days, the news about the miner’s brother posting his bills has attracted much attention. In China, miners are looked down upon. Brick work, but it is well received in Canada. If a child wants to choose this type of career as a blue-collar career, many people in China will definitely come forward to stop it, but in Canada, friends will not think there is any problem with this, and even think it is great to make so much money. The same goes for other personal choices, such as marriage and partnering. In Canada, society has a collective sense of respecting and tolerating everyone's personal choices.

Zero tolerance for violence against children

Children are vulnerable, but in a civilized society, children will be harmed relatively less. Taking a step back, even if the child is harmed, there are laws that can punish such people.

In China, there may be an ideological concept of "nothing can be achieved without fighting". Parents "educate" their children and others will not meddle in their "nothing". The same is true in domestic schools. If a teacher does something to a student or a classmate does something to a classmate, the victim will often swallow his anger because even if he speaks out, the matter may not be resolved. But it's different in Canada. If a child is subjected to any violence, there are two ways you can take it: 1. Call the police. The emergency number in Canada is 911. The child should call the number directly. First, state the name and location of the incident, and then describe what happened. If the situation is urgent, the message can be simple. In this case, the police can directly break in and stop the violence.

2. Find CAS.

CAS is Canada's child protection agency. They can forcibly take away children who have been abused, cancel custody of their children for unqualified parents, and completely isolate the negative influence of parents and others on their children.

More secure for children’s future

Children look forward to growing up, but they also worry about growing up and worry that their future life is not guaranteed. What can eliminate these worries is a complete and sound social security system and various social benefits, and Canada has this thing

1. As a student, Canada will provide a lot of support. For example, if your income is not high after graduation, student loans can be waived; for example, students who focus on their studies and do not work and have no income while attending school can enjoy tax refund discounts; for example, various discounts are available only for students.

2. Unemployment Insurance (Employment Insurance) is also used accidentally after entering society. If a Canadian resident has worked continuously for half a year in a year and is unable to continue working due to unemployment, illness, childbirth or adoption, this temporary income can be obtained through the national employment insurance program. The current policy stipulates that if you work 910 hours continuously in the past year and you are unemployed, you can receive this money, usually 56% of your original monthly salary, for ten consecutive months.

3. There is also paid vacation (Vocation Opportunity) related to a happy life, which is also something people look forward to after work. The Canadian government stipulates that full-time employees are entitled to two weeks (ten working days) of paid leave per year after one year of continuous service; and three weeks of paid leave per year after five years of continuous employment; holidays cannot be replaced by salary.
