Along with increasing cultural and linguistic contact throughout the world, as well as China's ever-deepening reform and opening, more and more people are choosing to study abroad. Most are Chinese students leaving their country, but more and more are students from other countries choosing to study language and culture in China. Particularly since the 1990s, increasingly large numbers of students from foreign countries, as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao, are coming to Shanghai International Primary and Secondary schools to pursue their education.Today, most research regarding study abroad is focused on the University level. Recently, although media and society are paying more attention to them, there has still been no substantive academic research done in regard to this new type of young "study abroad" student.This research paper may serve as concrete, researched evidence, using actual experiences at Shanghai High School International Division (SHSID) as research and analysis resources. With this type of experiential data, I hope to draw lessons about how to better manage the education of these special, out-border* students.Using this large amount of evidence as a foundation, this paper will analyze SHSID's out-border students, point out areas of success and failure, and also draw on lessons learned from other schools.This paper will be divided into three parts; an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. The body will consist of four chapters; the development and current condition of out-border student education, the history and development of Shanghai High School International Division, the implementation, management achievements and continuing concerns of out-border students' education, and finally, a look at effective future developments for primary and secondary school out-border student education.Through this type of analysis, I am confident that SHSID can achieve definite results: In terms of scope, Shanghai High School has the largest international division of any publicly-administered school in Shanghai, and its enrollment is among the highest of all International Schools in Shanghai, approaching that of Shanghai American School. Among the achievements of SHSID is the full IB curriculum, which each year graduates a large number of students. SHSID diplomas are recognized and respected by foreign universities, and these schools welcome SHSID graduates into their entering classes every year. SHSID already has a strong reputation among the Shanghai expatriate community. Shanghai High School's academic and managerial achievements are built on a strong management conviction: only by meeting mainstream international education standards, fully utilizing Chinese specialties, merging together international and ethnic concerns, and building a new type of integrated international education, can SHSID maintain international competitiveness.Still, due to the relatively short history of out-border student education, data is not yet rich and abundant. Management may yet still be imperfect. |
