Education in Macau

[2] A basic 15-year compulsory, free education, is offered to those pupils who have been enrolled at the schools which have met certain requirements stipulated by the government.

There are only a few vocational schools in Macau, offering technical subjects such as car-repairing, electronics, and constructions.

In their senior secondary school years, students are usually required to study science, commerce, arts and music.

The Escola Secundária Luso-Chinesa de Luís Gonzaga Gomes is a public school that has a Chinese and a Portuguese section.

[7] The Escola Oficial Zheng Guanying is a pilot project of the government that conducts classes in Mandarin, Portuguese, and English.

[8][9] There are some students with origins from Macau, Hong Kong, or mainland China who natively speak a variety of Chinese but who have education in English.

Some students choose to further their studies in the local universities or polytechnics whereas some others choose to further their studies in mainland Portugal, mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, or some other places.
