News. I'm Leon Lou And this is destination education on the b.b.c. World Service Ok Martin. I'm with Jeanette Jean and her parents being and assuming their apartment in the high rise block in downtown Shanghai I like all things. Today it's only 13 years old but in the few weeks she will be traveling south and of miles from home to go to a private boarding school in England and that has never been to the school I like treating people. There kosher. Anything you want to take to the u.k. Where I want to take my off all your things everything. With the recently economic boom in China more parents are opting to send their children overseas to be privately educated and education for Chinese students in Britain is was around $5000000000.00 pounds a year but it's not only university students going abroad from China to study some like to net are also quite young so we are now in Jeanette bedroom it's a small bedroom very sweet wife. Can see a few stuffed animals here and a lot of books there's a Harry Potter. So in that you are leaving for the u.k. Very soon for the boarding school how do you feel about going to a different country to study I think is a big challenge for me what kind of big challenge I need to spray and murder language all the time all the time I need to live with out company without my parent company did you have to go through exams were interviews to get into the school. I have to go through many exam is difficult for me. Because my English is that they're well. I know a little bit how dinette is feeling a few years ago I quit my job in Beijing to go to Oxford University to study for a year I've hardly ever been outside China and travelling to Britain speaking a new language and experiencing a different culture was I open in an exciting but also lonely at times genetic parents are also a bit apprehensive about their daughter going away nervous. I'm the most nervous one because I'm the mother I am worried about her age is still young you know China and the u.k. Sort of different system of the society and educational system is also very different kind of things that youth in the u.k. Education might offer that is not possible to get through the Chinese education system because they have a very well operated a very mature the boarding school system universities with a long history like Oxford and Cambridge and public schools like Eton and Harrow a global brands for traditional education with some kind of privilege but in China Britain also has a reputation not just for academic subjects. But for a more varied and a character building kind of learning whether you are saying you want your daughter to have all around education 1st and then she will have a better understanding of this world and she will make our own decisions for the future. One of the genetic favored subjects is art we're looking at a few. Characters on the paper painted when she was younger so basically her girls with. Green hair pink hair wearing long dresses. Early were args she tells me when she grows up she wants to be a fashion designer and sort of interesting clothes clove and clothes and hat fake. I think this has been our bid for Janette has never seen her new school apart from on You Tube so she doesn't know what to expect have imagined what kind of. What kind of campus with classmates I think maybe my room will be very small and. Sweet and I will make their if many friends of course she will be leaving her friends here in China My name is Jesse and Charlie is out how long have you know each other 5 years you've been friends since primary school so do you know that Jeanette is living very soon yes. Yes What do you think about leaving for u.k. I wish her the good a lucky. You wish her good luck in the. Region . A few hours away in Beijing a 15 year old being why Gallo is also packing to leave home for at least the next 4 years. So what kind of books you like the most being while will be going to a boy's boarding school in England over history for part of the history 2nd World War. Strategies and likely analysis but it hasn't been easy to persuade everyone in his family going to the u.k. To study this your own. Decision the way my own decision my dad he's against his ideal long here a lot about negative news about Western countries recent years and he's never been out to the Western countries before so he was against the idea all along even until yesterday Mom she's more with me. It isn't the 1st time being was has been overseas to study when his mom a physics professor was teaching at the American University she took his son with head and went to elementary school in USA like the 1st time ever went abroad 1st Shaka got it as America never gets alien invasions all I know about America is. They got attacked by aliens all the time because I watch movies what has it been like back as school in China especially after you had been experiencing the American way the overseas education school at American of a me think more openly more outside of the box instead of everything the teacher told you to think but then back here I found a no that's not how it works you know I suddenly feel more foreign and I found it hard to fit in anymore and everybody hates my so-called American accent make you feel like a us finite country south and yes quite what's your goal in a longer time well the top 5 universities in u.k. It's one thing can. Censor both interested in machines and history and social stuff but I'm still thinking that if I were going to be an engineer or run my own newspaper I don't know my goals would finally settle once I get there and have a taste of bridge education called War and about school life and fitting in and stuff like that what does bridge was like what kind of topics and and rules learn local rules written rules and unwritten rules I don't want to annoy anybody is of a do find it very hard to live presents well have they're so high I really don't know a lot about them actually you can say I know nothing of them. Another pressure pumping was is how. How much money is going to cost for his parents $29000.00 pounds a year and they are by no means super rich they are just middle class family is it going to be a financial burden to a family. I don't do well in school if I drop this thing the whole burden would collapse and all of us will be the end for us I have to do this as best as I can. 5 months later why is at his new school in luck. Angus Chilltown in the middle of England. The school looks quite traditional. Scores of more than 500 years old when you look at the marks in the walls and I just think. Somebody in the past was doing the say if you're connected to the people here in history here. Being while it's in the boarding house next to the main building the 1st day on there they were all very friendly to me way more friendly than I expected and they all talk to me I have this on describable excitement to me all the time it's just all new of the over board before a few released new life new beginning makes me feel like I've grown up then I certainly feel you miss home I feel a bit sad misplacing very big when I came here 1st time and got lost he would worry about the unwritten rules of communicating with boys of your same age here what kind of unwritten rules you have learned to be friendly to everyone and then everybody would be friendly back to you is that the old 1st I have to force myself to do that that I discover that isn't very hard because so growing a snowball the more friendlier you are to the other people more the feedback we give to you or goes on and on they don't just walk up to you and teach you. Just that since everybody around you is doing that it's hard not to do it and I liked my accent I don't know if it sounds American but they always go. To me 1st I would use how to back to them but now you say hike it's getting a bit old now. And I. Know but I think we're just on the phone to say just. A few 100 miles away 13 year olds Jeannette is now living in quite a different set an extortionist a shadow on I take a taxi from a small real way station called Sure to the middle of the countryside. The school is a large old building which used to be a convent said in any case of feels and it's it's very proper English countryside and I want to help in that fitting very new different environment. I think it's a really big screw and student are friendly and they are all kind to me. Jeanette has only just arrived at the school and she is still quite a nervous because I mean we've just been so good and I can not touch pad this my classmate very well that and also excited because this school has many activities and I will learn many things this school. I will go to many kind of art and I will have more friends and my English will be better. What will the one choose one of the biggest the shocks for being at this new school is the none of the lunch queue. But that's not all the teaching styles here a difference to the little ones you know the fact just before we got that after the notes and agency. We were already. In China we have mostly multiple choice questions in the exams and the lessons the teacher has a very prescriptive about what we should know and how we should understand what we learn 3 different here because in China just remember the facts but here you have to explain what's going on never did that before in China because in charge of talk about memorizing the stove you have to understand what's going on and be able to tell to figure out which would you prefer I prefer this way to still talk to friends back in China they're preparing for their don't call that the entrance examination for high schools today complain to you they were telling me how I view the pressure is on them that into. And exams come in the entrance exams in China a very competitive as it will determine whether students get into a good high school I don't feel lucky that I don't have to take the exam preparing for that I think it would make me stronger person but I do feel lucky about trying out a different system and a totally different place across the globe to go to. Another new experience for being is the next to Vittie called c.c.f. Combined that force which is based on British Armed Forces training the boys including being part they're all wearing uniforms and now they are forming up standing small groups what you want to learn out of this. Team building skills great got that right left right now in the room with all the boys including people who have been on the wars of the room we see their posts from the Bible and from Shakespeare so the one from the chick spear one says Be you good boys gentle and the teachable and servants of the old and the other one from the Bible from Luke to whom much is given much will be expected as in this one is education system is relatively weak content in terms of captive building was not that emphasize all techs who believe they have a personality so I think it's more the family job the thing. Is for just no knowledge. Or vision. The boys are all given the team building task and the pink is picked to lead his group their mission is to make the word Sure and capital letters using 21 strongholds of Hugo so are going to spell the word shore with 21 strong. Rights Well right Shlomo make a strong out of 21 straws in 15 minutes Ok 21 stores in 15 minutes how many stalls are there for. The country was how I want to learn are the 1st thing when you're doing a trial here is to cast your important here so what is also being given the task I was pretty surprised because I never did any leading roles before I was praying to learn to check my quince 1st. If you want I think we're pretty We did well. You know. When I met the y. In Beijing he had some very strong ideas about what he might want to do when he grows up I remember you mentioned engineer you said you probably want to be an engineer or running a newspaper asked her again I want to see all my path to tight right now I am learning as much as I can about everything so I can make choices right now I'm even thinking about acting career as an actor you can live different lives. Become more competent and then 4 or 5 months ago before I came here probably because back then I don't know how to deal with problems situations on my own and now I know how to fix me rationally and correctly I have an argument he would turn to fight I would just be solved peacefully and no hard feelings are but that's something you didn't have before you know you know I got into trouble many times when I was in China for getting involved in conflicts with other people and I have. Scale back then you set your goal probably is going to get into the top 5 universities in the u.k. So you have a clearer goal right now so I should get good grades study well and then we'll develop my hobbies and make lots of friends that's why. I'm going to can spend more time to decide what exactly am I going to do in the future. It's now been 5 months since Jeanette started at a new school in the English countryside we. Made our school the 1st thing which is very obvious is she seems and not more confident this place so far where we usually have to listen to miss home yeah I would miss her. First. I talk to my parents. One or 2 our area what do you miss about China Russia. Is so big city and I also miss to suit. You too. Would you miss the most Chinese hotpot any stockpot right Also if you. Really are Miss really love the I share a room with others 3 classmate one of my roommate is from Thailand and one of my roommate is from England and one of my roommate is from Mexico and we always have an international. Area and say goodnight and very cool thing that they've heard today in their own language in Chinese. What do you think have been the sort of the most challenging or difficult thing in the past 5 months for you to talk to push forward because say you should this pick very fast and it is very difficult for me to listen more to say. Try to understand more teachers this is a. Class. That was a night it. Was one subject which is totally new pledge and that is religious studies that is not told had told in China to young pupils asking at the top of you g.c.s.e. Can they rise you know advocating Pratt's the relation UK or want to use. Genetics as well as the aspiration to finish last week. Bridget so the relationship is not. But the favorite subjects are arts and design what kind of things are designing clothes that could use old clothes to make a new one. So this is the fabric you've chosen or the political thing that this is this is a. Desisted top. And this is showing us how to use this thing which I think they're so dedicated sewing room with about 10 machines and a lot of clothes made by the students you know and I haven't seen the sewing machine for years so we don't use them in China and so it's quite impressive and I surprise system and some say machines in a school like this I think the Chinese school system even though you learn art to learn design is more an emphasis on the learning than actually sitting from assume I have studying stuff. Jeanette it looks very real. Wow she's sewing and she seems very comfortable in this place and in her own company this is a very quiet place so it's very good for sure and designing things you prefer So the being quiet places than being with lots of people. Where you parents think they think that I should be more talkative. I shouldn't be that quiet. What do you think I think. You're good you actually are happy being quiet. Is clear that travelling away from home for school is going to be life changing for these young people and they are both quite different from when they 1st met them but having lived away from home for college myself I know it's not easy. Despite all the rows all the positive things we say about their experience of the u.k. These kids actually they're going through a lot in a way they're paying quite a high price for their future Of course there's a financial cost for their families but more subtle price is this in the feeling of being on your own out of your composition out of the range of your family supports of course you know that benefit is that you expand your vision you have Mariah to you have more understanding of the world but on the other side is that there's never a growth without any pain of it becoming a different person. Really comes with such on the prize. And is surprised that more and more people in China and now willing to pay. I'm Leon and destination education is a just a radio production for the b.b.c.
