雅思写作议论文各类考题中，一直居高不下的非教育类考题莫属；尽管*近几年题量略微有所下降，但是仍旧是考生不得不首要准备的对象。
一、分类简介
当然，教育类这个大话题大致可以被分为2种内容：学校教育及家庭教育。前者包括学生的课程及专业，也包括学生的学习方式如网络学习、远程教育、团队学习等，如2013年2月23日考察的是关于大学生选择理科的不多原因，2013年4月27日则是出现过许多次的学生该学习多门课程还是单门等；后者则包含家长与*之间在学习方面的问题，如2013年1月12日考察有关家长希望*上课下课的时间都用于学习；2013年1月19日则考察了有关家长是否有必要参加教育*的课程。而且如果对雅思考试熟悉的话，应该会不难发现以上考到的这些教育类考题都算是老题，也就是说只要准备的充分，将不难应对教育类考题。
二、细节详解
学校教育类：
学校教育类考题中*关键的是关于学科subject的考察，不论是初*生，如：In some countries, secondary schools aim to provide a general education across a wide range of subjects, while in others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to particular careers. Which education system according to your opinion is more appropriate for today’s world? 还是大学生，如：Some people think universities should provide knowledge and skills related to students’ future career; others think the true function of university is to give access to knowledge for its own sake. What is your opinion of the main function of university? 虽然两个不同年龄段的学生在科目选择上是有不同的考虑因素，但是如果够仔细的话仍然能在其中找到两者共通的因素。首先，如果从学习的趣味性来说，不论是初*生还是大学生，如果可以多学几门科目而不是集中某小部分的课程，自然能感觉到更多的趣味，如此一来，效率则会更高higher efficiency；其次，考虑到今后的打算，初*生选择更多课程可以更好发现自己的擅长之处，从而可以为大学专业的选择做好一定准备get a better preparation for future study；而大学生的未来准备则是毕业后的工作选择，所以仍然是可以为了future而选择好现在的方向。

4. Some people think typical teaching of a teacher and students in the class will not exist by the year 2050. Do you agree or disagree? (10.12.18)
l家庭教育类：
家庭教育类考题2013年出现的次数不少，当然大多是重复老题，所以对于整体难度来说也并没有多大的影响。不同于学校教育类的考题，家庭教育类的考题应对理由的相似度不高；随着题目的改变，考生不得不重新思考对策。如考题Children who are brought up in families which do not have large amounts of money are better prepared to deal with the problem of adult life than children brought up in wealthier families. Do you agree or disagree? 这道题考生就要考虑到家庭环境对*性格特征的影响，当然也需要明显的对比普通家庭的*与有钱家庭的*之间的差异；但是下面这一题Some people think that parents should be responsible for teaching children to be good citizen members while others think it is the teachers’ duty. Discuss both and give your opinion. 却是需要考察考生对何为social member的理解，然后找对这个切入点之后进行分析，与家庭是否有钱自然是无多大关系了，所以说此类考题难度略大；当然考生都有这方面的生活经历和常识，所以切记利用自己的生活经验为自己加分。
