Hong Kong Education System

The examination-oriented education system is jeopardizing longstanding commitment to the development of students' critical thinking skills and professional criticism. Students were not graduated from secondary school to enter the skills and knowledge for the job and what they have is the knowledge for higher education and are not needed for the workplace.

In the 2003/04 school year, tests the Government of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong 12 COC courses in Senior Secondary School (SSS). There are 17 classesfor 382 students from 57 different schools. In the 2004/05 school year, the rates increased to 32, with 69 classes, 1427 students from 132 schools. As the name implies, contains the COC courses designed to meet needs of certain professions. Currently, there are nine areas of study including economics, culture and media, design, services, performing arts, information technology, engineering, food production and management, and leisure, tourism and hospitality. All of these Courses are designed to meet the requirements of the new Hong Kong economic structure to be.

The COC is equipped for students with interest and inclination in other areas than the other by the test subjects. It aims at providing students with the opportunities offered its guidance for lifelong learning and career objectives in certain areas. With the COC, expected to enable the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of students a better understanding of the development of their> Careers guidance and expertise. This can also help students decide on life goals. Many students also understand the importance of studying hard and are more motivated in teaching other subjects. By studying the career-oriented courses would be, students develop their generic skills, values and attitudes, the necessary knowledge and skills as well as in the workplace to understand demand for a particular career. The students were also able to get oneTo work more than one certificate and diploma for further studies, or even at the college through the study of the COC.

New possibilities and opportunities for students

Some of the COC courses (eg, food, tourism and the performing arts) require not only knowledge but also skills required, values and attitudes that are largely ignored or underdeveloped in traditional curricula. Students who experience failure or unsatisfactory performance during the primary or junior --Secondary school studies can have a new opportunity and choice to experience success and develop some of their talents, they can bring some of their skills and make the long-buried and unnoticed in previous studies.

Learning With COC studies, students not only more knowledge about their chosen professions, but also put up the professions previously by various types of exercises and visits. In previous professional exposure to COC students can come to identify theirSkills and then in the light of this recognition, the decisions taken by the hand and also their motivation to learn.

COC and Self-Concept Development

According to Berk (2004), professional development goes through three phases), a fantasy time (early and mid-childhood, exploring where the children playfully career opportunities, young children an insight into professional of fantasies about her. However, their preferences are largely run by the family,Glamor and excitement, and usually bear little relationship to the decisions that make them eventually.

The second stage is) the provisional time (early ad mid-adolescence. At age 11 to 16, young people think about careers in a more complex manner. At first, they appreciate the job opportunities in terms of their interests. Later, when they become more aware of personal educational requirements for various professions, they take into account their skills and values.

The thirdStage is the realistic time period (late adolescence and) in emerging adulthood. In the late teens and early twenties, the economic and practical realities of adult life are just around the corner, and the young people of their options narrow. At first, many do so through further exploration, the gathering of information on a range of possibilities that blends with their personal characteristics. Then enter a final stage of crystallization, in which they are training on a general category.In it, they try out for a while before he was single for a job.

When the students knowledge about their preferred vocation, education requirements, there may be accumulated, and the future demand, which could benefit students. But high ambition / low knowledge of young people are at risk for ever, "dreamers drift" as they take strategic decisions, as they fail to invest their efforts to make sense. COC programs can help a better job to get young peoplemore about the work that interest them and assess their fit with their personal qualities, as the COC teachers (most of whom are professionals) can introduce students to the field, the people in those jobs, says up-to-date entry requirements, promoting participation or extra curriculum activities of the organization relevant and practical training, or methods that provide first-hand experience. Students who have a clear picture about the jobs they like to be able to join in developing a muchrealistic goal, with a much more realistic goal, students can take concrete steps to achieve the goal.

COC teachers play a more important role in the development of motivation and interests of students as well. They can act as mentors who provide a model for the students to learn. COC Teachers can also develop practical feedback to students, skills and attitude, at the same time, students can see the accumulated skills are greatly needed for the necessary increase in work and itsMotivation.

School is a place where students spend most of their time in their prime, it is understandable that some development can strongly relate to the school environment. Since I trained therapists work in one of the Senior Secondary School, offers the COC am, I notice a lot of new vendors enrolled in our Form 4 classes with negative self-image and low self-esteem, above all, keep faith on their academic abilities. It interferes not only exceed their potential in specific areasrequires more specific skills or personality rather than their ability, memorization (a kind of skills in the traditional test), as well as successes, which they deny to experience. After a period of studies can most of the Form 5 students some sense of achievement during their studies and further intensified the development of a better self-concept, some even want their studies after graduation.

It is not easy to say what causes the negative self-development in the past time, but Ican point out a fact that most students are "underachievers" at the junior secondary school studies. With a few personal interviews, they let me know how they feel to their studies, how bad are their school experience and it leads me to consider a decision to develop as their psychological state in the new type of learning environment afford.

Ideas For Teens in Information Technology - Book Review

I just finished reading "Ideas for Young People in information technology" by Diane Lindsey Reeves. As the owner of a website that focuses on teen jobs, which I'm very well read on this subject. This book is part of a series of books on specific careers that explore teenagers. I have mixed reactions to the book. I thought it was well researched and well written, but I do not think that there is enough substance. It is my opinion that the author is also a lot of filler to fill theBook. The book also seemed to be written for a general audience and not really designed for the teen audience. There was a lot of technical terms and information. It almost felt to me that the book for people who wrote those already in the industry of information technology.

Do not get me wrong, the book had good information and explain the various tasks well. The book has a good job to keep my attention through the use of real stories of people in the relevantProfession. The best part of the book and really the only part of the book, which was really geared adolescents, questionnaires were exercises intended to help in the process of career planning. After passing through the career exploration exercise would be able to determine whether a job would be in information technology is right for you.

Finally, I had the book had some bright spots, but overall I was not impressed.

How to Keep Your Relationship Strong

If a relationship is new and fresh we find it hard to imagine that it will ever end. But in many cases the newness takes after a certain time, and we begin to see problems with our partners. We may also be granted only approximate among them. Finally, The Thrill Is Gone, and the relationship withers. Keeping a relationship strong requires some essential elements.

To begin, if it will not be a true friendship, then the relationship probably not for long. Therefore, I suggest, alwaysthat a couple explore their friendship before diving into a relationship. It is important to an understanding and appreciation of what makes the other person tick to develop.

This may be old-fashioned and simplistic, but if you are the relations that are familiar to you, you will probably find that the test that are built on friendship, strong and prosperous. While the others that, where the couple appear to have some common interests, seem to struggle to survive.

Duringthe first phase of exploration of the friendship it is wise to discuss future goals and plans. After all, if this is to find the beginning of a long-term relationship you want to be on board with those plans, nix them, or a compromise that works for both of you.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about: If you are planning a career student then you have done a standard for your lifestyle. Adding that the wish that your new partner who wants aArchaeologists in a faraway place. A compromise must be achieved. This would be the case if one of you a house full of children and the others do not want the child wanted. The possibilities are endless, but the solution is the same, either one partner must give up his plans or a compromise is required.

You see, the friendship will provide that each partner respects the other and the wishes, dreams and goals that he learns. Compromises are not always easy, but in almostevery situation an agreeable solution can be worked out.

Another important element to a relationship has certain rules when it comes to disagreements. It is important that the couple learn to talk about problems rather than argue about them. Open to discuss what the beginning is not and acceptable in the relationship. This includes any expectations that may have each of you the other. Decide early in the relationship, how to deal with disagreements.

Take a deep breathThings are going to go a long way to keep the relationship strong. Some couples agree to never the day with angry feelings toward the other. It is wise to recognize that every day is a new beginning. No matter what has happened so far you have now working on a solution.

Make every day a new opportunity to make things better than the day before. Dwelling on the past will not help to focus on today and tomorrow. This builds a strong relationship, not fail. Even ifThings seem hopeless the appropriate actions can reverse the situation.

Homeschooling - 6 Reasons Why You Should Home School Your Children

Here are reasons why you should not send their children to traditional school:

1. Obsolete education.

2. Oversized classes.

3. Ongoing budget cuts.

4. Rising criminal activities in the school.

5. Mediocrity.

6. Lack of Wealth Building Education.

Education system outdated:

The training, which they teach the children at the school since the baby boomers have visited changed. They are teaching the industrial age educationIn this age of information. The system must be really revised, because we live in a very different world than the industrial age. What has for Grand Daddy is not sure it would for our children when they graduate average. More children leave school these days deep in debt before they even begin a job or a good start in life. Something tells me that they do not really want to get the population, too smart. Something is definitely wrong with this picture is not it? Currently she(Agencies) expect us stupid enough to excuse her and that is the reason for the price increase in the fuel due to a supply-demand issue to buy. Do you really think that there is not enough gas to handle? Why is everyone eating from the automobile manufacturers including Toyota SUV gas overproduction, are to be known for its small car?

Oversized classes:

Used in the classes of about 20 to 25 students not too long ago. Today, 30 to 35 seems to be the norm. Havethink that the teachers can handle a class that size? You can only handle what they can handle, period. Can you blame them? Only so much you get paid to do their job. Most teachers will work only in accordance with the main performers in the class. Sure, there are some teachers who really take pride in their work and are willing to the extra mile with their students, but they are the minority. If your child is a difficult student he or she will not have the same treatment granted by the performerwill.

Continued Budget Cuts:

The government is much more in the war and the exploration of space than in the education of your children will be taking over when and if we ever retire. If they do provide money for education, most of it goes to public schools than the higher levels. Cut backs are the main reasons why our average class size is 30 to 35 students. They are compromising attitude enough specialists to teach the students. They are even sacrificing & BooksDeliveries. I even have schools without soap regularly heard in the other rooms in many public schools in the U.S. and Canada.

Rising criminal activities in school:

This has become one of the biggest concerns that may go through a parent. We all know stories of the Columbine High School shooting, also to be this kind of thing seems to be a growing concern for the authorities. Almost every month, you heard some sort of incident involving a weapon in our schools.

Mediocrity:

Theyteach our children how to use less than what they are worth, and instead of teaching them how great they can pay for. Our children are not sheep to feed the economy. You deserve the best and it will not come from the traditional school. The middle class is fast disappearing in the United States & Canada and is the main reason for all this mediocrity, that they are trying to get to swallow them all. Maybe that's why there are so many people who believe everything (the media of the governmentTool), she tells today.

Lack of Wealth Building Education:

When was the last time something of a class that teaches you how to be a Millionaire? The next thing in the vicinity of educational success is perhaps a course in business or management skills come. Most of these classes are around working for a company rather than build an empire as directed.

6 reasons why more than enough to make you think about what they really should be your children in school.I would encourage you to look into these issues a little more before you even consider your children out of school.

Teach your children on your own can be overwhelming someone without experience, but it is definitely possible.

Education is not a priority for the government. I do not think they really want, that the masses get to be smart.

What do you think?
