The Advantages of Private Schools
私立学校的优点
The past two decades have witnessed the thriving of private schools in China. Nowadays, learning institutions are no longer run solely by the state. Personally, I believe that the merits of private schools outweigh their demerits.
过去的二十年见证了中国私立学校的蓬勃发展。如今,学习机构不再由国家单独经营。就我个人而言,我认为私立学校的优点大于缺点。
A threshold advantage of private schools is that they have more freedom compared to their public counterparts in terms of choosing curriculum. Therefore, students are more likely to receive an education catering to their individual aptitudes. Furthermore, previously all schools, whether primary, high school or university, were operated by the state and this kind of uniformity has adversely affected diversity. Students are taught the same subjects regardless of their own inclinations. However, this trend may be altered by the birth and development of private schools which are equipped with ample resources. New buildings, the latest multimedia technology, larger campuses and well-paid teaching staff all contribute to a better teaching and studying environment. In addition, for students who fail to be enrolled in any public school or university, private schools are seen to be an alternative solution which enables students to pursue their study. This results in increased places for students and also more jobs available for teachers. Another factor is smaller class sizes and more individual contact with teachers.
私立学校最初的优点是,他们在选择课程方面比同等的公立学校更加自由。因此,学生更容易受到适合他们个人能力的教育。此外,之前所有的学校,不管是小学,高中或大学,都是统一由国家经营,这种统一性不利于多样性的发展。教学的内容和科目并没有考虑学生自己的兴趣爱好。然而,这一趋势可能改变,因为现在私立学校出现并迅速发展,而且私立学校的教学设施很齐全。新建筑,最先进的多媒体技术,更大的校园环境和高薪的师资,都有利于为学生提供更好的教学和学习环境。此外,对于那些没能被公立学校或者大学录取的学生来说,私立学校可以作为另一种选择来让学生继续求学。私立学校的发展增多了学生的学习地点,而且为教师提供了更多的工作岗位。另一个因素就是小班授课,这样能够让学生有更多的机会与老师单独沟通。
In the final analysis, on balance I hold the stance that the introduction of private schools is advantageous both to students and to the development of education as a whole.
在最后的分析中,总的来说,我认为私立学校的引入有利学生和教育作为一个整体共同发展。
