What I Expect From a University Education

University education expects "Sarah Dalton ..." I heard my name. My new professor stood up to me and asked me to speak, and the whole class started to concentrate on me. My hand trembled, my body trembled with fear, and I walked in front of the room. I can feel that 30 strange eyes burned me like a hot needle, and my first sentence of my professor resounded in my mind. "This is not a high school, you are a college student now!" I gazed at the face of a new classmate, and finally hit me.

Education in China and America is certainly different. I have been studying in China for about 15 years from elementary school to university. Education in China has great expectations for young people. Primary school and high school pay much attention to students' math and science courses. By the time I was a high school student, I could quickly memorize the periodic table and I knew how to calculate numerical values. In fact, I am not an excellent student in China, but not only can it, but almost every Chinese high school student can do it. High school students seem to be preparing perfect for the university. However, it is a pity that students could not meet the expectations of Chinese Ministry of Education in the past when entering university.

Because I have children in elementary school, I can not represent education system of high school or university. My impression is that every child needs to get a degree. In the 1980s when I was in the UK high school, I did not remember even a single conversation about the university. Since arriving in America, my children have done the opposite experience. My 5 year old elementary school pays a monthly charge of 850 dollars at a private kindergarten (kindergarten) so she goes to school on weekdays from 9 am to 12 am. My 7 - year - old daughter went to a local public elementary school, which was a combination of good and evil. There are private schools and universities in the U.S. $ 6,600 to $ 22,000 per year. To allow a child to undergo one year private education in the UK costs approximately £ 15,000 to £ 20,000 per year.

Regardless of the license, all Education Major of the Faculty of Education at Manchester University can expect to participate in public school in the first year. Last year, 225 students who enrolled in the educational program had more than 350 hands-on experience and more than 27,000 hours of classroom experience. The University of Manchester Teacher Education Program is also known for its high expectation for student education. That graduate has been highly appreciated, 90% of the employment rate has not changed over the past five years. Students participating in the educational research program will complete their internship based on their career goals. Many people find jobs at childcare programs, YMCA coordinators, etc.
