Chinese Education Vs Canadian Education

British Historian Edward Gibbon once said,"Every man who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from his teachers; the second, more personal and important from himself." Nowadays, our society is developing rapidly, more and more parents want their children to be educated. Every parents notice that how education important is. There are different kinds of education, not only going to school everyday, but also learning knowledge or skills by yourself. More and more international schools are founded in China nowadays, they absolutely show that how Chinese education system and Canada education system are different.

For example," A minder tries to corral them, but he might as well be a herder of cats. 'It's a bit like trying to control children,' says an onlooker. The minder shakes his head. 'Worse!

Their arrival at Kingswood School is the latest stop on a week-long tour of our nation's most prestigious public schools. They are here seeking the best education that money can buy."( Whitworth, Damian, Paragraph 3&4).

They study breezily without any pressure. So, more traditional makes Chinese education different from Canadian
