华裔女生C（化名）是上海不列颠国际学校 A-Level课程的学生。去年暑假，她以IGCSE 8 门全A（其中五门为A+）的成绩，获得英国初 中毕业证书，紧接着，她选择就读学校提供的 A-Level课程。 A-Level是英国全民主流的中学课程，英 国学生一般在16岁开始学习这一为期两年的课 程，修完课程即可进入大学就读。A-Level课程 证书被几乎所有英语授课的大学作为招收新生的 入学标准，被国际教育界誉为“金牌”教育课程 和全球大学入学的“金牌”标准British Golden Education System）。具备很强的科学性和权威 性的A-Level课程，近年来备受中国学生欢迎， 截止2016年10月，中国开办A-Level课程的学校 有296所，比上一年增长了40%之多。 去年8月开学前，C和她的家人，以及不列颠 国际学校A-Level课程负责人、科学老师Charon Ferguson坐在一起，进行了一场“三方会谈”， 制定出C为期两年的“学习时刻表”。 “我想学习神经语言学，最想冲击的学校是 剑桥。”C说出她的想法。Charon根据C的学术 成绩、兴趣志向，再结合为英国大学提供招生服 务的UCAS网站上剑桥大学神经语言学的入学要 求，给她制定了一个学习表： 两年内，她将学习六门A-Level课程，包括 英语、法语、德语、心理学、经济学以及物理。 这个选择在所有A-Level学生中是极为卓越 的。全球绝大部分A-Level学生会在两年时间内 深入学习四门课程，但C一口气选了六门。 “做个不那么精确的比较，A-Level的课程 难度，相当于IB课程里的高阶课，也相当于SAT 标准的难度。所以，如果C扎实学习六门针对性 的课程，并全面掌握知识精华，无疑对她申请剑 桥神经语言学专业极为有利。” 与此同时，C的选择，也有些大胆。根据 2016年剑桥国际A-Level考试的成绩统计，全球 学生范围内，报考数学和高阶数学获得A以及A+ 的学生，达到34.2%和33.3%，物理A和A+的学 生为33.3%，化学为31.6%。这些容易拿高分的 科目，成为大部分中国学生的“必选科目”。 2015年到2016年，中国大陆地区考试中， 8,809人选择了“数学”科目，而“心理学”只 有262人选择。且从全球范围来看，心理学取得A 《菁kids》2017-2018年度择校指南 15 封面故事 COVER STORY 和A+的比例只有18%。C选择的法语为18.1%， 英语语言仅仅为5.3%，所以基于现实考虑，中国 学生在这些学科前常常望而却步。 但是Charon说：“我们不会以某一门学科是 否容易拿高分作为选择标准，我们选课的出发点 是要发掘出C最大的学习潜能。这也是C和妈妈的 心愿。” 目前上海不列颠国际学校一共开设19门 A-Level课程，是上海国际学校里开设A-Level 科目最多的学校。 “特长教育”VS“通识教育” 以A-Level为代表的“特长教育”，和以IB 为代表的“通识教育”是颇有代表性的两种教育 方式。 前伊顿公学招生官威廉－里茨曾这样对比 说：“所有英国去美国读大学的学生，第一年都 会有一个同样的感受：美国的课程太简单，因为 在学生20岁之前，英国的课程进度和深度，是走 在美国前面的。这是因为两国教育理念不同，英 国学生在高中只学三四门课，学得少而深，美国 学生可以学七、八门课程，学得多但是浅。” 对于这两种不同的培养方式，Charon的观 点是：“如果你早早明确了志向，比如想成为医 生、律师、工程师等。那么，A-Level是一个非 常好的选择！你的每门科目的学习，都会让你离 梦想更进一步”。 “作为家长来说，最重要的是找到孩子的天 赋所在。有些孩子表现出对数字的强烈兴趣，或 对图形特别敏感，或像C那样具备语言天赋。此 时，家长就应争取更多资源，尽力帮助孩子发展 特长。” Charon举例说，自己的女儿从小跟随她在 多国居住，对海洋生物以及各类动物化石特别感 兴趣，于是，她经常带女儿参观各国博物馆。目 前正在学校读10年级的她，已经决定了未来的志

Foreign workers have settled in the city because it offers the chance to capitalise on China’s thriving economy – but without moving completely beyond the comforts of home. It’s exotic but not starkly unfamiliar, and while it maintains the flavour of its early roots, the transport, buildings and lifestyle are all very modern. At St. James’s Place Wealth Management, we appreciate that relocating to a new country can be daunting. This guide draws upon the experiences of many of our Shanghai Team who themselves have experienced this move first hand.

Foreign workers have settled in the city because it offers the chance to capitalise on China’s thriving economy – but without moving completely beyond the comforts of home. It’s exotic but not starkly unfamiliar, and while it maintains the flavour of its early roots, the transport, buildings and lifestyle are all very modern. At St. James’s Place Wealth Management, we appreciate that relocating to a new country can be daunting. This guide draws upon the experiences of many of our Shanghai Team who themselves have experienced this move first hand. Given our strong links within the international business community and years of experience serving the expatriate population in Shanghai, we think we are in a good position to help your transition into this great city. One of the things that makes Shanghai so popular with foreign workers is the ease with which comforts from home can be found.

  • The 23 Survey of Investment Related Costs in Asia and Oceania (FY 2012 Survey) May 2013 Overseas Research Department Japan Exter
    The 23rd Survey of Investment Related Costs in Asia and Oceania (FY 2012 survey) May 2013 Overseas Research Department Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Data, statistics and the reference materials within this report have been compiled by JETRO from publicly-released media and research accounts. Although these statements are believed to be reliable, JETRO does not guarantee their accuracy, and such information should be checked independently by the reader before they used to make any business or investment decision. The 23rd Survey of Investment Related Costs in Asia and Oceania JETRO conducted a comparative survey of investment-related costs in 41 major cities and regions throughout Asia and Oceania in the period between December 2012 and January 2013. The survey revealed that Japanese companies are mainly concerned about wages. With the economy steadily growing, minimum wages have been rising greatly. This trend is expected to continue into 2013. With domestic markets maturing, Japanese companies are increasing their motivation to advance into Asian countries and regions for the purpose of market development and risk dispersion. However, there has been no change in the situation where Japanese companies are required to take some measures against rises in various costs. For this survey, Ulan Bator (Mongolia) was added. The survey was also conducted in six Japanese cities, including Yokohama and Naha, in order to make comparisons between Japanese and foreign cities. The following are summaries of what should be noted about wages, property-related costs, and Ulan Bator, the newly added city. 1. The basic wage rate showed a two-digit rise in some regions.
