新西兰中学(Secondary School)系统一览
•在新西兰，学生一般从13岁开始就要进入中学(secondary school)学习。中学负责从Form 3年级到 Form 7 年级的。Form是旧系统的分类方法，现在用Year 9- Year13来代替，不过在多数叫法里还是Form用的多。下面我们把新西兰的中学系统和国内做一个比较：
•中国初中2年级=新西兰中学(Year 9) Form 3 学生约13岁
•中国初中3年级=新西兰中学(Year 10)Form 4 学生约14岁
•中国高中1年级=新西兰中学(Year 11)Form 5 学生约15岁
•中国高中2年级=新西兰中学(Year 12)Form 6 学生约16岁
•中国大学1年级=新西兰中学(Year 13)Form 7或者大学预科(Foundation) 学生约17-18岁
•在新西兰中学From 5的时候，学生会参加School Certificate 也就是中学文凭考试，该考试在2002年开始会由NECA(National Educational Certificate Achievement)代替。在From 6时，学生也要参加Six From Certificate的考试。如果想继续进入大学学习，则必须通过From 7的University Bursary或者Scholarship的大学入学考试。（注：如果成绩优越，学生可在From 6的时候由学校推荐直接进入大学学习）。有关于考试的具体情况会在以后的章节里有所详细介绍。
•新西兰大约有440多所中学，一般被称为：High school, Grammar school, 和College.
•学校的性质有以下3种类型：
•1． State---这种学校是公立学校，由新西兰政府或是公立拥有和资助的。并由新西兰部管理。新西兰的大多数学校是公立的。
•2． Integrated--这些学校过去是私立学校，后被政府学校合并，但同时保留了一些自己的宗教思想传统.从严格的意义上来讲，合并学校也相当于公立学校。
•3． Private—私立学校相对于其他学校来说是独立的。这种学校大多有着优良的教学质量和设施，管理也比较严格。但是你也需要为此交纳高额学费。
•从学生结构来分类，学校也可以分为男校，女校和男女混校。男女分校是英联邦国家的学校传统之一，这样的学校通常学术成绩都比较好。但是也有部分单性别的学校在高年级的时候也招收少量其他性别的学生。在老师的构成上，男校偏重与使用男性教师，女校则偏重于使用女教师，但是也保持一定数量的异性老师。男女混校则没有任何限制。全新西兰大约有25%的学生选择上单性学校学习。一般学校的规模是在500-1000人左右，1000的部分学校有宗教信仰，在教学的同时，也注重培养学生的宗教信仰。如一般的天主教学校（Catholic Schools）便会要求在午间休息的时候朗诵圣经和颂诗等。
•有的学校为学生提供学生宿舍(Hostel)以方便偏远地区的学生来学习。多数单性学校会提供宿舍。国际学生也可以申请住入宿舍，但费用不包括在学费里，需要另外交纳。
•校服
•大多数学生在中学读书时都被要求穿着校服，不过在6年级或7年级的学生有时也被允许穿着便装。有些学校没有校服，但学生必须穿着能令人接受的服装。在公立学校的校服价格大约在４００新西兰元左右，而在私立学校大约至１０００元新西兰元。
•一般来说，单性学校和私立学校对校服的要求都比较严格。有的学校甚至FORM 7都要求穿校服。
新西兰中学学分制：
•新西兰高等教育阶段以下的学校体系由13个年级组成，这包括从Year 1（5岁的学生）到Year 13（17岁的学生）。义务教育阶段是指从5岁到15岁的教育。
•大部分高中从Year 9（13岁的学生）开始，到Year 13结束（17岁的学生）。一般来说，中国学生从Year 11或更高年级开始进入新西兰的高中学习。大部分的中国学生是在国内接受了九年义务教育之后来新西兰读书的。
•从Year 11到Year 13，学生学习新西兰教育成就国家证书(National Certificate of Education Achievement, 简称NCEA)的课程，即新西兰全国的高中学历。NCEA分为三个levels，从level 1（Year 11，15岁的学生）到level 3（Year 13，17岁的学生）
•NCEA通过内部和外部综合的评判体系来评价学生的能力与强项。每一学年对学生的评价方式与中国的体系不同，不是以一次考试的成败来决定学生是否可以升入大学。
•在学校，学生要学习不同科目的大量课程。这些课程分为level 1、level 2和level 3。学生如果顺利通过了某一个课程，则获得了一定数量的学分。学生为完成这三个等级的学习，分别需要获得的学分数是这样的：
•Level 1：学生必须获得80个学分。这80个学分中的8个是读写能力的课程，8个是算术能力的课程。
•Level 2：学生必须获得80个学分。这其中至少有60个学分须是level 2或更高级别所要求的课程。在level 2中，不包括对读写与算术能力的要求。
•Level 3：学生必须获得80个学分。这其中至少有60个学分须level 3或更高级别所要求的课程，另外20个至少需要是level 2所要求的课程。(学生可以纵向累加他们在高中阶段所获得的学分。)
•NCEA的目的，是决定在新西兰高中学习的本土学生和留学生是否有资格升入大学学习。从2004年开始，为升入大学，学生必须获得以下学分：
•a) 至少获得42个level 3或更高级别的学分。在这42个学分当中，必须包括两个“许可科目名单”中的level 3的课程，这两个课程分别至少须获得14个学分。另外14个level 3的学分的积累不得超过两个课程，而这两个课程必须是前面28个学分的课程以外的。
•b) 必须要获得level 1或更高级别的数学课程的14个，或更多的学分。
•c) 必须要获得level 2或更高级别的英语课程的8个，或更多的学分。这8个学分中，4个必须是阅读课程，4个必须是写作课程的学分。
•NCEA是国际认可的教育文凭。Level 1的证书相当于加拿大和美国的10年级的水平，或者英国的GCSE。Level 3则相当于英国的A-Level的水平。
•以下是澳大利亚和英国的大学对NCEA的认可情况：
•澳大利亚：新西兰与澳大利亚有大学入学标准互认协议的传统。Australasian Conference of Tertiary Admission Centres (ACTAC) 是确保澳大利亚所有的城市和地区都遵循同一高等教育入学标准的机构，而该机构是承认NCEA的。
•如果在新西兰高中就读的学生希望进入澳大利亚的大学学习，每年1月上旬，他们的NCEA Level 3的成绩会被合计起来，并转化成澳大利亚教育体系内的成绩。这些信息由ACTAC提供，确保新西兰学生与澳大利亚学生在入学标准和选拔过程中受到同等公平的对待。
•英国：在英国，Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) 每年都会出版一个叫International Qualifications for Entry to Higher Education的刊物。英国的高等教育机构在审核申请英国大学的学生所拥有的文凭的时候，会以这份刊物为指导。这份刊物在国际上也被认为是该领域的权威刊物。而NCEA是在这个刊物的名单之列的。另外，另一个英国高等教育机构的咨询机构，National Academic Recognition Information Centre (NARIC) ，也认可NCEA的level 3 的证书。学生获得的大学入学许可、NCEA的level 3的证书、以及他们在大学所选专业课程上取得的优秀成绩，与英国GCE的高等水平相当。
