Mr Li: In 2018, Global Education (GEDU) launched the Ontario Secondary School Diploma Program in 2 cities in China and soon expanded to 4 in the next year. So far there have been hundreds of students studying in GEDU. As this program is getting increasingly popular in China due to GEDU’s promotion, it is necessary for us to present Chinese parents and students a thorough review of this program. Therefore, I invited Mr. Paul Tufts to share his knowledge of OSSD and his perspective on this program as an experience education administrator.

李虹橋老師: 在2018年，五湖在國(guó)內(nèi)兩個(gè)城市開(kāi)設(shè)了OSSD項(xiàng)目并且很快在19年拓展到四個(gè)城市。截至目前，已經(jīng)有上百位同學(xué)在五湖學(xué)習(xí)OSSD。得益于五湖的大力推介，OSSD目前在中國(guó)備受歡迎。面對(duì)目前火熱的市場(chǎng)需求，我們認(rèn)為很有必要向中國(guó)的父母和孩子系統(tǒng)的介紹一下OSSD這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。因此，我很有幸邀請(qǐng)到了Mr.Paul Tufts。 作為一名資深的教學(xué)負(fù)責(zé)人，今天Mr.Paul Tufts將會(huì)和我們分享很多關(guān)于OSSD的重要信息，以及他對(duì)于這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的獨(dú)到觀點(diǎn)。

Q1. Can you give an overview of the Canadian high school curriculum?

Q1：您能向我們簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下加拿大高中教學(xué)體系么？

The Canadian constitution grants control over education to the provinces.  As a result, each province and territory in Canada has a slightly different education system.  There is no central body for education in the country and each province sets their own curriculum guidelines and structure for elementary, secondary and post-secondary education.  

在加拿大，憲法允許各省設(shè)置自己的教育體系，所以每個(gè)省份以及地區(qū)的教育體系會(huì)稍有不同。加拿大不設(shè)立中央教育局，每個(gè)省針對(duì)初級(jí)教育，中學(xué)教育以及高等教育都有自己的一套課程結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)置。

On international education tests such as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) taken by Grade 10 students in 79 countries around the globe, the overall score for Canadian students (the average from all provinces) is one of the highest in the world.

在國(guó)際教育測(cè)試中，例如在一項(xiàng)由全球79個(gè)國(guó)家的10年級(jí)學(xué)生參加的國(guó)際學(xué)生評(píng)估（PISA）中，加拿大學(xué)生的總成績(jī)（來(lái)自所有省份的平均值）位于世界前列。

Q2 What is OSSD? What is the role OSSD plays in the Canadian high school system?

Q2：什么是OSSD？在加拿大高中教育體系中，OSSD扮演什么樣的角色？

The OSSD is the diploma granted in the province of Ontario to high school students who have completed the four year (grades 9-12) secondary school program.  Students who study in the OSSD program perform very well on international assessments.  Ontario students’ results are consistently among the highest in Canada on the PISA tests.  On the recent 2018 PISA test Ontario students outperformed the Canadian average on all elements of the test.

Q3. In which countries do universities accept OSSD? What makes this curriculum creditable?

Q3：哪些國(guó)家或地區(qū)的大學(xué)承認(rèn)OSSD？為什么OSSD有如此高的可信度？

全世界的大學(xué)都承認(rèn)OSSD。

The OSSD diploma is accepted by universities around the world.  Canada’s reputation as having one of the best educated populations globally is renowned.  Ontario students’ performance on international tests such as PISA and their performance in global universities has created an excellent reputation for the program and universities are more than happy to accept OSSD students.

加拿大是全球受教育程度最高的國(guó)家之一， OSSD作為加拿大安省的高中文憑因此享有盛譽(yù)。 同時(shí)，安大略省學(xué)生在PISA等國(guó)際考試中的表現(xiàn)以及他們?cè)谌虼髮W(xué)中的出色表現(xiàn)也為OSSD贏得了極好的聲譽(yù)，大學(xué)非常樂(lè)意接受OSSD學(xué)生。

Q4 What are the similarities and differences between OSSD and other curriculums, such as A-level and IBDP? What advantages does OSSD have over the others?

Q4：OSSD和其他國(guó)際課程，比如A-Level，IBDP有什么相似性以及不同之處？OSSD的優(yōu)勢(shì)是什么？

The OSSD curriculum meets and, in many instances, exceeds the standards established in A level and IB programs. All three programs require students to focus on skills beyond knowledge and understanding.  Students learn to think critically, use inquiry methods to problem solve, apply their knowledge and collaborate with others.  In this computer age, the days of needing to memorize a lot of information are gone.  Students can easily access information on their phones, but they now need the skills to use and interpret this information.

對(duì)于OSSD課程來(lái)說(shuō)，它達(dá)到了甚至在很多方面超過(guò)了A-level和IB課程中所要求的的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這三個(gè)課程都要求學(xué)生掌握學(xué)習(xí)技巧，而不是簡(jiǎn)單的理解知識(shí)。學(xué)生要學(xué)會(huì)批判性思考，活用探究方法解決問(wèn)題，運(yùn)用知識(shí)并與他人合作等。在這個(gè)計(jì)算機(jī)時(shí)代，學(xué)生們不需要機(jī)械性地記很多知識(shí)。相反，學(xué)生可以輕松地在手機(jī)等電子設(shè)備上獲得信息，但是他們現(xiàn)在需要學(xué)會(huì)使用和解釋這些信息的技能。

The OSSD program has some advantages over the A Level and IB programs.

與A Level課程和IB課程相比，OSSD課程具有如下優(yōu)勢(shì)。

Firstly, students’ grades are not based on standardized tests.  In the OSSD program, students earn a grade through their performance throughout the course with 70% of their grade from the course tests, assignments, projects and other activities.  The final 30% of the grade comes from a final exam and/or project in each course.  Students who suffer from test anxiety are disadvantaged in the A level and IB programs but can demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways in the OSSD program.  In addition, students with an OSSD diploma apply to Universities around the world with the grades from their final 6 Grade 12 courses without having to complete a round of standardized tests.

首先，OSSD學(xué)生的成績(jī)不是基于標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試。在OSSD課程中，學(xué)生將通過(guò)他們整個(gè)課程的表現(xiàn)來(lái)獲得成績(jī)，其中70％的成績(jī)來(lái)自平時(shí)測(cè)驗(yàn)，作業(yè)以及其他活動(dòng)。成績(jī)的最后30％來(lái)自每門課程的期末考試。對(duì)于那些懼怕考試的同學(xué)來(lái)講，他們往往在A-Level或者IB考試中表現(xiàn)不佳。但在OSSD課程中有多種方式證明自己，避免了一錘定音。此外，擁有OSSD文憑的同學(xué)，他們可以不用標(biāo)化考試的成績(jī)，而是用6門12年級(jí)的課程就可以申請(qǐng)大學(xué)。

Secondly, because the OSSD program is credit based, it can be differentiated to meet the needs of individual students.   Students can choose from a wide variety of courses that meet their interests and strengths.  As a result, they can choose courses that they enjoy and excel at.  

其次，OSSD課程是基于學(xué)分的，因此它可以滿足不同學(xué)生的多樣化需求。學(xué)生可以選擇那些他們喜歡的或者擅長(zhǎng)的科目去學(xué)習(xí)。
