預科




預科是英式教育的制度，在很多前英國殖民地亦沿用。在經過五年的中學教育後，成績良好的可升讀為期兩年的預科，再參加考試（原來稱為大學入學試（英语：Matriculation examination），後來改稱高級程度會考），成績良好的方可進入大學（英國大學學制為三年，和中學、預科合共為十年，和美式6+4一樣）。



香港的預科


過去香港的教育制度跟隨英國政策，即包括三年初中、兩年高中、兩年預科和三年大學的三二二三學制。完成兩年高中（普遍稱為「中四」和「中五」）並應考香港中學會考後，成績理想者（一般為30分滿分下最少取得14分）可升讀預科。兩年預科又普遍稱為「中六」和「中七」。完成兩年預科後學生同樣需要應考高級程度會考，成績理想者便可升讀大學。


2000年代初期，香港特別行政區政府開始部署教育改革。經社會多年討論和籌備，終落實在2009年9月新學年起正式實施三三四學制，即三年初中、三年高中和四年大學。


2012年是最後一屆開放予日校學生的高級程度會考。當2013年只供考生重考的高級程度會考舉行後，香港的預科課程便正式消失，走進歷史。



評論


有一些人批評認為預科教育太著重作為大學的預備課，教授的內容過于專精，教授的知識對未能考進大學的學生似乎沒用，且為社會製造太多不同的階級（中五畢業、中七／預科畢業和大學畢業）；但亦有人認為預科教育是中學教育的補充，有助為有才能的人在專業的科目和課題上提供進一步的教育。

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
