タイの優秀な高校生、ニュージーランドのSTEM教育を体験

Share:

タイの優秀な高校生グループが、ニュージーランドの教育を促進するための最近のウェビナーシリーズの一環として、オタゴ大学のSTEM(科学、技術、工学、数学)の専門分野を体験しました。

プリンセスチュラポーンサイエンスハイスクール(PCSCS)のネットワークは、タイの4つの地域にある12の学校からなり、7年生から12年生までの優秀な生徒のみを受け入れ、すべての生徒が政府から全額奨学金を受け取っています。

理数系に特化したこの学校は、オタゴ大学が教員や学生に提供している英語力向上プログラムを通じて、長年にわたりオタゴ大学と関係を築いてきました。

ニュージーランド政府機関であるEducation New Zealandは、国際教育がもたらす社会的、文化的、経済的利益を実現するために、オタゴ大学と提携して、ニュージーランドの高等教育を紹介するSTEM科目を中心としたウェビナーシリーズを開催しました。


11月19日から12月3日まで、PCSHSネットワークに所属する学生は、オタゴ大学の研究者が開催した5つのウェビナーに参加し、次のようなトピックを学びました。OpenCVを使った顔認識、拡張現実、Arduinoボードを使ったプログラミング。


Jim Cotter教授によるウェビナー「Hot topics in sport & exercisescience」には、タイの教育省副大臣も参加されました。

Education New Zealandのインターナショナル・ディレクターであるLisa Futscheck氏は、タイとオタゴ大学のパートナーシップは、新しい国際的人材をニュージーランドの教育システムに触れさせるのに役立つと述べています。

「オタゴ大学は、プリンセスチュラボーンサイエンスハイスクールのネットワークと長年にわたるパートナーシップを築いており、このウェビナーシリーズは、将来ニュージーランドで高等教育を受ける可能性のある若い学生たちに、国際的に価値の高い、遠隔教育を提供する革新的な方法となりました。

「このウェビナーは、世界的に人気が高まっているSTEM分野において、本学が提供するさまざまな興味深い教育を紹介するための素晴らしい方法でした。

「学生たちが特に興味を示したのは、コンピュータービジョンのウェビナーで、「コンピュータの『見え方」と拡張現実感」です。 質疑応答では、多くの興味深い質問が寄せられ、参加者の意欲が高まりました。

タイの基礎教育委員会と同校の理事会は、現在、生徒がニュージーランドでさらに高等教育を受ける機会を得られるよう、支援と奨励の方法を検討しているところです。

また、2020年には、Education New Zealandは、PCSHSの学生6名に対し、ニュージーランドでのさらなる留学に備え、オタゴ大学の語学センターで4週間のIELT(国際英語力試験)準備プログラムに参加するためのNZ$18,000相当の奨学金を提供しました。これは渡航制限の解除を待って再開される予定です。

プリンセス・チュラボーン・サイエンス・ハイスクール(PCSHS)について:

  • この学校ネットワークは、タイ教育省管轄の優秀な科学教育局(ESEB)が管理・監督しており、学校の管理・運営をサポートするための資金を提供しています。
  • 各キャンパスには、合計720名の学生が在籍しています。
  • Education New Zealandは、ENZRA(Education New Zealand認定機関)の代理店であるKnowledge Plusが仲介した関係で、2016年からPCHSと関わりを持つようになりました。
