In the eyes of many people, compared with China's metropolis Portugal, it is like a "country waiting for development". Its economy is not developed and social welfare is not perfect. So why are so many people immigrating to Portugal?
Today we invited Ms. Zhang to talk to us about their family’s experience of immigrating to Portugal, hoping to find the answer in this experience.
The following is Ms. Zhang’s oral statement:
Our family immigrated to Portugal, not an impulse decision.
is similar to everyone’s situation. There are many things that people need to consider when they reach middle age. Among them, the education of children of is an urgent problem that we need to solve , and it is also the main purpose of our family’s immigration.
Why should we consider solving the problem of children's education through immigration? I considered two aspects at that time: cost and education model.
When my son was in kindergarten, he also planned to buy a school district house in Shenzhen. At that time, I saw degree room in many areas, but when I came into contact with some immigrant friends, I gradually gave up this idea.
Spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a degree house. The school the child is studying in will indeed be better, but he has always grown up under the existing educational model and has not made any substantial changes to his growth.
Of course, degree housing has great potential for appreciation, but not every family can afford to buy a degree housing in Shenzhen.
And, our plan for the child is that he will study abroad after after junior high school.
Once calculated, the tuition and living expenses for children with during their seven-year study abroad period were about 500,000 yuan per year for children with . I have two children, and it costs about 1 million yuan to be educated a year, and is 7 million yuan in seven years.
. When studying in European universities, the tuition fees are divided into three types: domestic student prices, EU student prices, and international student prices.
Everyone knows that international students are definitely the most expensive because it is a way for schools to make money. is much cheaper for EU students, probably 30% off for international students, , which can be said to be very cost-effective.
If my child has the status of the EU and stays in the EU to go to school, it would have cost 7 million yuan for 7 years, but after a 30% discount, it would have become 2.1 million yuan, saving almost 5 million yuan.
Then I spent 500,000 euros to buy a house and immigrated to Portugal. This money is equivalent to saving from tuition fees. It means that the house not only did not spend money, but also gave me a few European identity by the way.
Not only that, I have permanent ownership of the house and land, and I can also get a good purchase after renting it out.
is very cost-effective no matter how you calculate the account.
Let’s talk about the educational model again.
We have always complained that the education in China is a one-plank bridge that is a one-plank bridge that thousands of troops cross.
But from another perspective, the college entrance examination is indeed the most fair education system, but is this educational model suitable for every individual for the public?
In the current state of highly consistent values, it is difficult for every child to fully display their personality and have no time to play.
For example, my child has almost been compressed since he went to elementary school, because there is too much homework after class.
was seen online before, and many people highly recommend Finnish education.
Finland 's education model can stimulate children's potential. Because of this, their basic education has been ranked first in the global education rankings for many years.
So, if there is a condition to change the educational environment for your child, then why not? Let your child have a happy childhood and have more choices in the future.
Let’s talk about education in Portugal.
Portugal is a 12-year compulsory education, divided into three types: public schools, private schools and international schools. Public schools basically don’t have to spend extra money, but they use Portuguese teaching. Therefore, Chinese children in Portugal basically attend private schools or international schools.
Private schools charge 400~600 euros per month, most of which are taught in English; while international schools have a monthly tuition fee of 1000~1500 euros per month, which is indeed not low, but it is much cheaper than international schools in Shenzhen.
These two types of schools have a lot of interest classes, such as horse riding, diving, sailing, etc., which are very interesting.
For children, natural and happy educational methods can give full play to their nature and give them a clearer understanding of themselves.
or above is what I learned about the education situation in Portugal. I hope it can give you some inspiration.
