Education Special: Getting an education

Start
Words by Macao Magazine

For more than 450 years, Macao has been getting a world-class education. In this issue’s Education Special, we go back to school and learn all about the city’s education system from the Jesuits up until the present day. We then investigate what lies in store for the SAR’s schools, colleges and universities of the future before taking a class with Portuguese-speaking students who chose Macao as their preferred place of learning.

Top of the class

From kindergarten to university, Macao’s education system gets top marks. Over the following pages, we look at the city’s rich educational history, its successful present and its bright future, as well as its stellar work with Portuguese-speaking students from across the world.

Happy 15th birthday!
It’s been 15 years since Macao’s Historic Centre was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List but what will the city’s heritage scene look like in another 15 years?

 

The real heroes
Saving animals from death. Helping old folks in danger. Tackling criminals on the street. Treating dying COVID-19 patients. These young heroes from Macao are extraordinary.
