Is boarding school right for your child?

Giving the children education abroad involves many difficulties, requiring great determination for parents and they children should be responsible in their assignments.

Around four thousand seven hundred students in Hong Kong attend boarding schools in Britain, which falls from over five thousand a year ago. The quantity of students has changed for years but the city is still the most significant overseas market of Britain, according to the Matthew Burgess, general secretary of the Independent Schools Council (ISC).

The committee constitutes eight independent school organizations covering one thousand two hundred fifty independent educational institutions with four hundred fifty boarding schools.

Matthew Burgess was in Hon Kong to conduct a conference with three hundred parents as participants.

Some students went to colleges incapable of speaking the English language or with poor English speaking skills that they hardly make themselves understood. They were also incapable to manage a university entrance course, it was asserted, and a third of the professors were part-time instructors.

In addition, host of school-arranged activities every week and weekends give way boarding school students to socialize with students of other ethnic origins.

For the maintenance of a desired level of quality in a service, Burgess advises parents to examine the school websites the official reports by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, with permission from the Education Department. It covers results in student’s academic performance and student’s social assistance.
