Chinese word symbols naming child, school, university

 

These notes are for my own benefit but I am sharing my knowledge with you. Here's a tip from the polyglots Facebook page which feeds onto my website.


Very easy to remember. 大中小 for levels of education/school
大学 (university) ,中学 (secondary school) ,小学 (primary school).
Then secondary school 中学 is divided into lower levels 初中 and upper levels 高中.

Angela's comment
The Chinese signs, left to right, mean: big, central ... (school) 
big ... above child or son (uni)
Central sign for?  over child for secondary school

Copy in handwriting or photograph the signs outside schools in Singapore or China or Taiwan or Chinese schools in other countries when you are in the street there or signboards in in photos on the web.
