The document summarizes the education system in Great Britain. It is divided into four main stages: pre-compulsory education for those under 5, compulsory education from ages 5-16, further education from 16-18, and higher education for those over 18. There are both state schools and private schools. Students attend nursery starting at age 3, primary school from 5-11, and secondary school from 11-16 or 18. They take GCSE exams at 16 to determine their path, and can attend sixth form college from 16-18 to take A-Level exams for university entrance. Faith schools are also available connected to different religions.

3. EDUCATION IN GREAT BRITAIN
• Education is compulsory from the ages of 5 to 16. That
means that everybody in the country has to go to
school.

4. • In 1988 the national curriculum
was introduced. The national
curriculum is a framework for
learning. It was brought in to
standardize learning across the
country so that all students
were learning the same things.

5. State schools and Private schools
• In Britain they have two main types of schools. There are
state schools and private schools or independent schools.
• A state school is a school that is free. It is open to
everybody. It’s government funded and you don’t have to
pay.
• The other type of school is a private school or
independent school. These are fee paying schools are
expected to pay fees per term and they don’t have to
follow the national curriculum so strictly whereas in a
state school they have to follow the national curriculum.
• In addition to private schools, in Britain There are public
schools. These are a group of schools that are the most
expensive, the most elite. For example, they‘ve got Eton,
Harrow Cheltenham Ladies College. These are the kinds
of schools that royalty go. For example Prince Harry and
Prince William both went to Eton. So it sounds like they
should be free, but in fact it’s opposite.

6. Education system falls into four stages:
• Pre-compulsory education (under 5 years of age)
• Compulsory education ( 5-16 )
• Further education ( 16-18 )
• Higher education ( over 18 years of age )

7. • Nursery begins at 3 years old. There are not enough
state nursery schools ( or kindergartens) in Britain.
• There are private nurseries but these are expensive
and a lot of families cannot afford them.
• Children’s activity start at 9 a.m. and finish at 3
p.m., they have their lunch at school and usually a
rest in the afternoon. They play, paint, dance and
sing and do the same things that all little children do.

8. PRIMARY SCHOOL
• So when they are five years old they go to Primary school. Primary
school is the first school they’ll go to. It’s from five to eleven years
old. In America they would call primary school elementary school
but in Britain primary school.
• Infant school is from 5-7 years and Junior school from 7-11
years.Both of them have its own building and playground. There are
usually about 35 children in a class as well as a teacher, there is a
teacher´s assistant. Children have the same teacher for one year
and she teaches nearly all of the lessons in the class.

9. SECONDARY SCHOOL
• Secondary school is from eleven to sixteen or
sometimes eighteen as well. In America they call that a
high school but in Britain secondary school.
• In most places in Britain you go to a comprehensive
school which is open to everyone. In some places the
british use the system of grammer schools and
secondary moderns. Now a grammer school is
generally more academic whereas a secondary modern
is more vocational.

• So when they get sixteen that’s when they do their
first big exams. It’s called GCSEs. General Certificate
of Secondary Education. Generally they take about
nine subjects. They have to take English, maths and
science in some places and then they get to choose.

something else.

11. SIXTH
FORM
• So between ages of 16 and 18 It’s called sixth form. They
can spend here two years( lower sixth and upper sixth).
• In the end they must take exam which is called
ADVANCED Level ( A-LEVEL)
• They need only three A-levels to go to university.
• If study for one year they’ll get an AS- level. Generally
they do about three. But in Scotland they don’t do A-
levels. They do something called Highers.

12. Tertiary College
• There are also colleges. In America colleges are what
we call universities. But in Britain this word has a
few other meanings.
• If you are not interested in doing academic subjects
then you can do vocational subjects, such as
plumbing, carpentry. More practical skills are gained
that led into a job.

13. Faith School
• In Britain there are a number of faith schools.
These are schools that they are connected to a
religion. The majority are church of England
schools but there are also schools from other
religions like Catholicism, Islam, Judaism.

14. Higher Education
• At a university in Britain they do one subject (they
take one core subject).So again it could be English,
data science, history.
• A bachelor’s degree or undergraduate degree takes
three years. However in Scotland they do a four year
degree.
• And at the end of the course you take something
called finals, to see what grade you get.

15. • There are a group of elite universities places like
Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, Edinburgh and they
are known as red-brick universities.

16. In Conclusion;
• Education is compulsory.
• There are state schools and private schools.
Approximately, 90% of people choose the state school.
• Nursery begins at 3 years old. So when they are five
years old they go to Primary school. Secondary school is
from eleven to sixteen or sometimes eighteen as well.
• At sixteen they then get to choose. If they want to
continue with school or leave school and maybe start a
job or do something else.
• Other important point is that they give a chance to pupil
who are not interested with science. They can go to the
tertiary colleges and gain more practice which led them
in their future job.
