股份制學校

Many people think of schools as buildings,teachers and students. Proprietary schools,however,think first of the students.They are interested most in satisfying their customers,the students.Proprietary schools are privately owned vocational schools.To remain in business they must give students what they want to learn at a fair price.The students themselves normally pay for the cost of the training.Thus,the school must offer the traning that is practical and that will help students get a paying job.Generally the training lasts from 6 months to one year.In the US proprietary schools number about 10,000 and that number is growing to meet increasing needs.

很多人想到學校就是建筑物、老師和學生。然而，股份制學校首先想到的是學生。他們感興趣的主要是讓客戶、學生滿意。股份制學校是私人職業(yè)學校。為了保持業(yè)績，他們必須以公平的價格給學生他們想學的課程。學生自己通常要付訓練費。因此，學校必須提供實用的、能幫學校獲得一份有薪水的工作的訓練。通常來說，訓練持續(xù)半年到一年。美國的股份制學校的數(shù)量大概為1萬所，而且數(shù)量在不斷增加以滿足日益增長的需要。
