JC和Poly的對比:
UNI DREAMS
More JC students get places in local universities, with about 70 per cent of each cohort managing to secure places.
Last year, the number of polytechnic students accepted to local universities increased to 20 per cent of the polytechnic cohort, compared to 15 per cent a few years before, due to the six universities increasing the number of places on offer.
This raised the total rate of entry by polytechnic graduates and A-level school-leavers into university – called the cohort participation rate (CPR) – to 32 per cent. The Ministry of Education aims to reach the target CPR of 40 per cent by 2020.
So, no JC means no uni place? Not exactly true.
OH STRESS!
JC life is dictated by timetables: students go to school Mondays to Fridays and take CCAs – much like in secondary school.
Polytechnic life may appear less stressful, thanks to a less intensive timetable which may show more free periods or even days where there are no classes.
However, all that free time does not equal more fun. Just like in JC, free time usually goes towards completing assignments or studying for tests or exams.
Some courses, such as those specialising in communications or design, can also be assignment-intensive – which means that students are required to complete several projects at regular intervals throughout a semester for their various modules.
“Hell week” – or that dreaded week when projects for several different modules are all due at the same time – is when students pull all-nighters, sometimes even sleeping in school to work on their assignments to ensure they meet the deadlines.
Also, polytechnic students need focus and discipline to maintain their grades, as their results are calculated cumulatively over the three years. Lecturers will not chase them for missing assignments.
Students are also required to have 75 per cent attendance before they can pass a module.
So all that talk about how much easier it is for them to cut class? Forget it.
SCHOOL TIES
Many people have the impression that a JC student does not have a good social life – how is it possible to have any fun when an insane amount of time is spent not just on studying, but also on their CCAs?
Furthermore, the major school events on a JC students’ calendar, such as Sports Day and cross-country runs, sound completely uninspiring next to posters proclaiming the cool events happening in various polys such as jam-and-hops (dance parties) or Halloween parties.
However, the way students are allotted into classes and faculties means that it is easier for a JC student to build school ties and maintain a wide social circle.
Polytechnic students tend to gather in small groups and some courses may be so small that it provides a social circle the size of an onion ring.
LECTURE RUNWAY
One often-touted perk of being a polytechnic student is that “you can wear whatever you want”.
However, there is also a little thing called a dress code. Each polytechnic has its own, but some general rules include no provocative or revealing attire, or no attire with offensive messages.
True, most polytechnic students are raring to flaunt their individuality right at the beginning, but most will eventually end up being affected by some combination of boredom, laziness and the inevitable “but I have nothing to wear” syndrome.
Except for the die-hard clotheshorses, most will just revert to comfortable basics by the time they hit the halfway mark in their courses.
Plus, some JC uniforms can really be quite chic.
Figure-flattering A-line skirts or fun hoodies and varsity jackets? Yes, please!
A uniform may not be the most exciting thing in the world, but hey, no outfit-induced headaches in the morning and a sense of belonging to a particular school? Enjoy it while it lasts.
TIME TO SPARE?
In general, the JC route to university is accelerated, and takes two years. The polytechnic path will take you about three years or so.
However, the longer polytechnic option ends with a diploma and better prepares you for the workforce. So if you are in a hurry to enter the job market, this may be better option. After all, with lifelong learning now a big focus, you can study part time to get more credentials later.
WHAT TO STUDY
The JC route covers a broad range of academic subjects, allowing students to have a “taste” of different disciplines before having to make up their mind on a specialisation when they enter university.
This is a huge boon to students who are not sure about what they want to do as a career.
However, some students have their eyes firmly on an end goal and polytechnic allows them to focus only on what they need for their chosen specialisation.
Also, the sheer number of courses on offer across the five polytechnics here has always been a point of pride for both the institutions and students.
Want to learn how to concoct perfume or train elite athletes? Or learn to care for animals or stop major online security breaches?
Well, the polytechnics offer courses specialising in all these interests and more.
But that does not mean that the A-Levels subjects JC students take are inferior. By focusing on scholastic skills, students may end up better prepared for the academic rigours of university.
Besides stalwarts such as computing, and theatre studies and drama, interesting new additions, such as English language and linguistics, and China studies in English, are now available.
UNI DREAMS
更多JC學生獲得在本地大學的地方，每個隊列的約70％的管理，以確保地方。
去年，接受本地大學理工學院的學生人數增加至20％的理工學院人群的比例，相比幾年前的15％，由於六所高校增加所提供的名額。
這就提出進入由工科畢業生和A級中學畢業生進入大學的總速率 - 稱為隊列參與率（CPR） - 至32％。教育部的目標是到2020年達到40％的目標心肺復甦。
所以，沒有JC意味著沒有單向的地方？不完全正確。
OH壓力！
JC壽命決定由時間表：學生上學的週一至週五，並採取氣候變化協議 - 很像中學。
理工的生活可能會出現壓力較小，由於佔用資源較少的時間表，這可能表現出更多的自由時間，甚至數天在沒有課。
然而，所有的空閒時間不等於更多的樂趣。就像在JC，空閒的時候通常會朝著完成作業或學習為測試或考試。
有些課程，如專門從事通信和設計，也可以分配密集 - 這意味著，學生必須完成幾個項目，定期整個學期的各種模塊。
“地獄週” - 或者說可怕的一周，幾個不同的模塊項目全部安排在同一時間 - 就是當學生拉通宵達旦，有時甚至睡在學校工作，他們的任務，以確保它們滿足最後期限。
此外，理工學院學生需要專注和紀律來維持他們的成績，他們的結果在三年累計計算。講師將不能追逐他們缺少的任務。
學生也需要有75％的上座率，才可以通過一個模塊。
因此，所有的談論它多麼容易是他們逃課？算了吧。
高校風雲
很多人的印象中，一個JC學生沒有一個良好的社會生活 - 怎麼可能有當時間瘋狂量花在不僅僅是學習任何樂趣，同時也對他們的共同國家評估？
此外，主要的學校活動上的JC學生的日程表，如運動會和越野奔跑，聽起來完全平淡旁邊的海報宣講酷事件發生在不同的多邊形，例如果醬和一跳（舞會）或萬聖節派對。
然而，學生的方式被分配到類和院系意味著它更容易為JC學生建立學校聯繫，並保持著廣泛的社交圈子。
理工學院學生往往三五成群地聚集，一些課程可能是如此之小，它提供了一個社交圈的洋蔥圈的大小。
講座跑道
成為一名中專學生一個經常被吹捧振作的是，“你可以穿任何你想要的”。
不過，也有一個小東西叫做著裝。每個職業技術學院都有自己的，但一些一般的規則包括不挑釁或暴露的服裝，或有攻擊性的消息沒有裝。
誠然，大多數高職學生都鉚足了勁來標榜自己的個性就在年初，但大多數最終會被受無聊，懶惰和必然的某種組合“，但我什麼都沒有穿”綜合症。
除了鐵桿曬衣架，最多也就只恢復到的時候，他們擊中了過半在他們的課程，舒適的基本知識。
此外，一些JC制服真的可以很瀟灑。
圖奉承A線裙或有趣的帽衫和夾克隊打？是的，請！
均勻的可能不是世界上最令人興奮的事情，但是，嘿，早上沒有裝引起的頭痛屬於特定學校的感覺？享受它，而它持續。
空閒時間？
在一般情況下，JC路線大學被加速，並且需要兩年。理工路徑將需要大約三年左右的時間。
但隨著時間的理工學院選項與文憑結束，更好地為您準備的勞動力。所以，如果你是在急於進入就業市場，這可能是更好的選擇。畢竟，現在的終身學習一大焦點，你可以學習兼職以後獲得更多的憑證。
學什麼
在JC航線涵蓋範圍廣泛的學術課程，使具有來彌補自己的心靈上的專業化，當他們進入大學之前的學生有“味”不同學科的。
這是一個巨大的福音學生誰不知道是什麼，他們想做的事情當作事業。
然而，一些學生有他們的目光緊緊的終極目標和理工允許他們只專注於他們需要為自己選擇的專業化什麼。
此外，對提供跨五所理工學院的課程數量之多，這裡一直是一個驕傲為機構和學生。
想了解如何炮製的香水或培訓精英運動員？或者學會關愛動物或停止大型網絡的安全漏洞？
那麼，理工學院提供的課程專業所有這些利益和更多。
但是，這並不意味著A水準科目JC學生參加處於劣勢。通過集中學習技能，學生最終可能會為大學的學術苛刻更好的準備。
除了中堅分子，如計算和戲劇研究和戲劇，有趣的新變化，如增加英語和語言學，中國研究英語，現已。 |
