紐西蘭的學校教育

Schooling in New Zealand

這篇文章的內容，是關於紐西蘭從小學到中學階段的教育。在開始之前，我先做一番自我介紹，以便讓您對我的思想和經驗更容易瞭解。我是臺灣人，隨我的父母於1989年移民紐西蘭。我最近才從奧克蘭大學畢業，主修教育和心理學。目前我在澳洲的渥倫崗大學遠距教學碩士班主修「英語為第二外國語的教學(TESOL)」。我根據自身的教育基礎與學術背景，花了一段時間，觀察研究紐西蘭的教育系統，以期幫助來此求學的亞洲學生能對紐西蘭的教育有比較實際的認識；同時也提供臺灣的教師、學生和父母對臺灣與紐西蘭的教育作一對比，進而對西方教育系統有所了解。This article concerns the schooling in New Zealand from primary to secondary school level. Before I commence I would like to introduce myself in the hopes of you gaining a better insight into my thinking and experiences. I am a Taiwanese who moved to New Zealand in 1989 with my parents. Recently I graduated from the University of Auckland majoring in Education and Psychology. At the present moment I am a Masters student via correspondence from the University of Wollongong in Australia majoring in Teaching English to Students of Other Languages (TESOL). With my educational-based academic background, I have taken the time to look at the education system in New Zealand and what Asian students can expect when they arrive here. Teachers, students and parents in Taiwan are encouraged to compare and contrast their schooling to that of New Zealand's to gain a better insight into a Westernised system of learning.
