Aussie students left behind

Ten years ago our education system was top of the class, but today a worldwide comparison shows a very different story.
Asian schools on the other hand are powering ahead, with special 'smart schools' where every student is pushed to reach their full potential.
Inside a typical school in Shanghai, China the average class is packed with 40 students, while in Australia, it's around half of that.
In China they don't have flash, modern buildings, or spend money on the latest technology, and yet according to the latest international results, it's the best performing school system in the world in terms of maths, science and reading.
Chinese students start the day by reading aloud, which is meant to improve memory. Both aerobic and eye exercises are daily activities, and medical check-ups are common to make sure the kids are in perfect health.
An insight into Asian schools was produced by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, or the OECD. Its latest rankings show Shanghai is top of the ladder in student testing, and Singapore and Hong Kong were also high flyers.
The average student in Shanghai is more than two years ahead of Aussie kids in maths, and more than a year ahead in reading and science.
Dr Ben Jensen runs a school education program at the Grattan Institute and is an expert in education policies and programs.
According to Dr Jansen, “it was only eleven years ago that these countries were ranked seventeenth in the world in reading, and within five years they went from seventeenth to second.”
In Australia our biggest education debates have centred on private versus public funding, class sizes and teacher pay, but Dr Jensen's research shows we may be on the wrong track. He says the secret to Asia's success has been making student learning the focus, while also developing better teachers.
“When a student sits down in a classroom in Shanghai, and the teacher walks in, often there's another few teachers with them, so there are a few teachers in the classroom working together observing one another,” Dr Jensen said.
Each teacher has a mentor, and they're judged and assessed on their classroom performance.
Oswald Chen was born in Australia. His parents migrated from China twelve years ago. A maths dynamo, he's represented Australia in an international Olympic maths competition. The year eight student attends the prestigious Scotch College in Melbourne.
“I do maths tutoring, English tutoring and a chess club, and I also do school sport,” Oswald said.
The twelve year old does 32 hours a week at school. He spends five hours a week on study; maths and English tutoring takes two hours; sport takes six; and music - four. At almost 50 hours a week, Oswald clocks up more hours than the average worker.
“Occasionally I feel like I’ve got a little too much,” Oswald said.
“Chinese families and Asian families value education, they think education can make the difference,” his mum Yan Chan said..
Fiercely pushy Chinese mothers - nicknamed 'Tiger mums' – have made international headlines, and some have been criticised for placing too much pressure on their children.
But for mums like Yan, it's all about giving your child that competitive advantage, and she believes success at school begins in the home.
“He’s going well in school, he has good discipline, and he has many good habits,” she said.
The OECD's most current figures from 2009 reveal how we're slipping. Over a nine year period, Australia has fallen from fifth place to fifteenth for maths; from fourth to ninth for reading; and in science we've gone from seventh ranking to tenth.
“Maybe every now and again it’s good to tell a child that what they’ve done isn’t good enough,” former school teacher and education commentator Dr Kevin Donnelly said.
Dr Donnelly says we're not tough enough on our children. “We no longer fail students in school, we no longer use the ‘F’ word, and really that means that students aren’t pressured as much as students in Asian countries.”
Dr Jensen says if you want your kids to succeed, learn a lesson or two from our Asian neighbours by realising that education is not all up to schools.
“Become involved in their education, become involved in their homework,” he advised.

哈哈他们说，想要孩子成绩好，就要跟中国邻居学。号外HURSTVILLE BOY HIGH 可能要成为精英中学了，只要这学校华人多起来第二个JR因该没问题。

刚刚看完。 看得我既激动又骄傲。。。
分析到为什么澳洲学习教育排名下降时，有位专家（好像叫Kevin) 说, the point is we're not tough enough to our kids... 说得太到位了。

里面的那位妈妈 是不是mel的C 同学^_^
评论
是吗，那C同学的英语很一般阿

很短呀。
总结下，要点就是，
十年前澳洲的中小学教育领先世界，而现在落后了，因为OCED的考试澳洲2009年的成绩比2000年退步了不少。而和亚洲国家中国上海，新加坡和中国香港比，一些科目落后2年多。。。
澳洲十年里school Funding增加了40%，但是educational result退步，是为什么？对学校持续不断的投资能够解决教育问题吗？那些领先的亚洲国家的硬件设施比澳洲差很远，但是成绩远大于澳洲。
砖家说澳洲的问题是对孩子not tough enough，没有了F-words就意味着对孩子没压力？？？（还是我听力不好听错了？？？）
这方面要向亚洲父母学习，虎妈就是个好例子
Scotch College的牛蛙，一周排的满满的，妈妈表示很欣慰，洋人表示很吃惊，呵呵。

上吗？
评论
从头到尾一字不漏厉害！
评论
还有， 别让孩子看
我家孩儿看了不满意了： 小O一周才做5小时homework，我一周school homework就要7.5hours...
评论
我看到的重点：教育不需要很好的设备，黑板粉笔做满人的教室也可以出成绩，关键是老师的（上海老师有导师，和观摩学习）。其次就是家长的重视。
思路是对头滴
眼保健操也是可以推广滴
评论
我看到的重点是， 中国的老师好
我想到的重点是， 澳洲应该把收入和能力挂钩；人事权力下放到学校；混日子的下岗；大锅饭得结束。
评论
眼保健操，很重要呀。
粉妈看到的的确与众不同。
评论
我马上向总工会汇报，有人要造反。
评论
嗯，你家也是牛蛙呀，其他活动有没有超过他？
评论
我觉得国内教育，还有一个＇纪律＇教育． 无论早操，还是眼保健操，既是形式也是实在．
家长重视，带有紧迫感，估计光用＇快乐童年＇就能说服自己．
我回想起自己小学生涯，至少学生是怕老师的，至少成绩好是光荣的．
评论
澳洲是什么好光荣？
评论
也是高分光荣
高分，当然也包括体育，音乐成绩
评论
澳洲尚武，尚体育，尚rugby，学校开的课有炒菜的，有做手工，一地鸡毛
评论
school work有什么牛不牛的
这个孩子不光是学习好， 很多别的方面也是很棒的。
我记得他和一位小才女一起写过一本书。卖书所得的一半，捐献给了几个不同的机构去帮助需要帮助的人。
评论
体育好绝对光荣
评论
国内体育好，long time ago，也有加分的了
国内也有各类体校，可见对体育也重视
