ECONOMY
England's job market is diverse, spanning sectors like finance,
technology, and healthcare, driven by a skilled workforce.
London, a global financial hub, stands out, but the EU exit has
impacted labor migration. Flexibility and regulations coexist,
while trends of remote work and sustainability are emerging.
Adapting to global changes, the English market retains its
international influence and innovation capacity.
LABOR MARKET
COIN
The currency of England is the pound sterling, often
abbreviated as GBP (Great British Pound). It is one of the
oldest currencies in circulation and holds significant
importance in international markets, being the official currency
of the United Kingdom. Its stability and history play a crucial
role in the British and global economy.
The pound sterling (GBP) has a higher value compared to the
Brazilian real (BRL), which is currently over 6 reais apart
GOVERNMENT SYSTEM
England operates under a parliamentary monarchy system, which it shares with all countries
in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland). In this system, the
monarch is the head of state and holds a hereditary position. Their role includes signing
laws, opening and closing parliament during electoral periods, and representing the building
of a national identity. However, their powers are largely symbolic and ceremonial. The
current monarch is King Charles III.
The primary functions of executive power and public policies are attributed to the Prime
Minister, who is the head of government, a position currently held by Rish Sunak. The
English legislative power is vested in the Parliament.
PUBLIC POLICES, HEALTH AND SECURITY
Public policies in England encompass a range
of areas within its parliamentary monarchy
system. The monarch, currently King Charles
III, holds a symbolic role, while executive power
and policy formulation lie with the Prime
Minister, presently Rishi Sunak. The legislative
authority resides in the Parliament.
PUBLIC POLICES HEALTH SECURITY
A significant portion of healthcare services in
England is free for English citizens and
permanent residents. The NHS (National Health
Service) is funded through tax revenue
collected in the country. However, certain
services may charge fees, such as prescription
costs and dental treatments.
Overall, England is considered a safe country. The
police structure is strongly influenced by the legal
system, which is based on contradictions and requires
any accusation to be evidence-based. Authority is
replaced by a Police and Crime Commissioner elected
by the electorate of the region they oversee. They are
responsible for maintaining police service efficiency,
appointing the Chief Constable, and ensuring the
implementation of a crime reduction plan.
CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS
FLAG
THE FLAG OF ENGLAND IS REPRESENTED BY A WHITE BACKGROUND
RECTANGLE WITH A RED CROSS DEPICTED ON IT, KNOWN AS THE ST. GEORGE'S
CROSS. THE FLAG OF ENGLAND REPRESENTS THE ST. GEORGE'S CROSS,
CONSIDERED THE COUNTRY'S PATRON SAINT SINCE THE 14TH CENTURY. IN
ADDITION TO BEING OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AS THE PATRON SAINT OF
ENGLAND, THE FIGURE OF ST. GEORGE IS ATTRIBUTED TO PROTECTING
SOLDIERS, BASED ON BOTH THE HEROIC STORIES BEHIND THIS SAINT AND THE
USE OF A SIMILAR SYMBOL TO THE ONE ON THE ENGLISH FLAG BY THE
COUNTRY'S SOLDIERS DURING THE THIRD CRUSADE IN THE 12TH CENTURY.
A WHITE RECTANGLE WITH A RED CROSS DESIGN REPRESENTS THE FLAG OF
ENGLAND. IN THIS NATIONAL SYMBOL, THE COLOR WHITE CARRIES THE
MEANING OF PEACE, WHILE THE COLOR RED REPRESENTS BRAVERY AND
COURAGE.
THE ELEMENTS OF THE ENGLISH FLAG WERE COMBINED WITH THOSE OF THE
SCOTTISH FLAG TO CREATE THE FIRST FLAG OF THE UNITED KINGDOM IN 1606,
ENGLISH CUISINE
ENGLISH CUISINE IS A DELIGHTFUL FUSION OF HISTORICAL TRADITIONS AND
CULTURAL INFLUENCES. OVER THE CENTURIES, BRITISH COOKING HAS EVOLVED
BY BLENDING LOCAL INGREDIENTS AND CULINARY TECHNIQUES FROM DIVERSE
REGIONS. WHILE BRITISH FOOD HAS SOMETIMES BEEN THE SUBJECT OF JOKES,
RECENT YEARS HAVE SEEN A REEVALUATION AND REVITALIZATION, RESULTING IN
A DIVERSE AND VIBRANT CULINARY LANDSCAPE.
The cuisine boasts traditional dishes that are a reflection of the country's history and
resources. The renowned "Full English Breakfast" is a prime example, featuring eggs,
bacon, sausages, beans, mushrooms, and toast. Equally cherished is the "Sunday Roast,"
a weekly lunch featuring roast meat, roasted potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding.
Yet, the impact of multiculturalism is evident in modern meals. Due to migration and
globalization, London and other cities offer an incredible range of restaurants serving dishes
from all corners of the world. Moreover, a growing focus on seasonal and local ingredients
has led to a resurgence in sustainable agriculture.
England's culinary landscape is a testament to diversity and evolution over time. While its
reputation has had its ups and downs, contemporary times are witnessing a culinary
renaissance led by innovative chefs, premium ingredients, and a heightened awareness of
food sourcing. The blend of culinary traditions and global influences has transformed the
British food scene into an exciting and rewarding journey of exploration.
FASHION
AND
ENTERTAINMENT
FASHION, MUCH LIKE POLITICS AND TECHNOLOGY, EVOLVES THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES,
mirroring the cultural and social changes of each period in human history. The
perception of beauty also adjusts to each era, always linked to individual expression,
as clothing reflects each person's aesthetic sense. Attire also changes according to
the time and setting: home, work, or leisure.
For a significant period, England was regarded as the fashion hub of Europe, with
layered dresses signifying wealth for women, while men wore tunics secured with
belts. In the Middle Ages, Byzantine styles marked a renaissance in art and fashion.
Two-toned garments, especially fur coats, were popular among the upper classes for
both men and women.

CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH FASHION
ENCOMPASSES MANY AREAS
Music has influenced British fashion trends over the
decades,
from the Beatles to the Sex Pistols to Amy Winehouse.
Vivienne Westwood
contributed to the punk movement of the late 1970s and
1980s, together with the
famous punk band, The Sex Pistols. The stylist's designs
were greatly influenced by
the Elizabethan era, using corsets and skirt frames,
referring to the royalty of
England. Stella McCartney, daughter of Beatle Sir Paul
McCartney, has a clothing
line under her own name, started in 2001.
MUSIC AND
FASHION
CLASSIC FASHION ENGLISH PUNK AND
ALTERNATIVE FASHION
On the more classic side of British fashion, Burberry was an
influence with their classic coats for British rainy days. Rain
boots are also popular
due to the very wet weather. Saville Row is a famous street in
MayFair, London, next
to the traditional tailors' street. Other classic brands include
Pringle of Scotland,
which specialize in luxury wool (especially cashmere) and
Liberty of London on
Sloane Street, experts in men's printed shirts and women's
accessories.
Camden Town in London is the famous
shopping area where punk and gothic fashion can be found.
Handmade clothing and
jewelry from local designers can also be found there. Vivienne
Westwood's first
boutique, called "At World's End" on London's King's Road, was
where she dressed
Malcolm McLaren of the Sex Pistols in the late 1970s. The
boutique is still there, but
now with the name "Anglomania". Anglomania is a more casual
and reasonably
priced store compared to Westwood's other fashion collections.

PLAYING BINGO:
TAKING CARE OF THE
GARDEN:

RACES:
DEPENDING ON THE SEASON,
THE PUBS GET CROWDED, EVEN

THEIR OWN LITTLE GLASSES,
WHETHER IT'S BEER, WINE, OR

PUB FOR ALL TYPES, FROM THE
MODERN TO THE RUSTIC AND
OLD, DATING BACK TO THE
TUDOR ERA. THE ENGLISH LOVE
IT, FROM THE YOUNG TO THE
ELDERLY, WHO USUALLY
FREQUENT THE LOCAL PUB.
IN THE PAST, BINGO WAS ASSOCIATED
WITH ELDERLY LADIES, GRANDMOTHERS,
AND AUNTS WITH GLASSES PERCHED ON
THE TIP OF THEIR NOSES, CAREFULLY
CHECKING THE NUMBERS SO AS NOT TO
MISS THE CHANCE TO, WITH A BIT OF
LUCK, SHOUT "BINGO!" THE MODERNITY

ATTRACT THE YOUNGER SEGMENT OF
SOCIETY, ALTHOUGH UNFORTUNATELY,
THERE ARE ALWAYS THOSE WHO TURN
BINGO INTO MORE THAN JUST A PASTIME
AND BECOME ADDICTED, WHICH IS
BECOMING QUITE COMMON.
IT'S NOT ONLY THE PARKS
SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE
CITY; HOUSES WITH GARDENS,
MOST OF THE TIME, HAVE
OWNERS WHO KEEP THEM IN
PERFECT CONDITION.
GARDENING STORES ARE
POPULAR PLACES AT THE
BEGINNING OF SPRING AND

THERE ARE NUMEROUS HORSE
RACES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
WITH THOUSANDS OF
SPECTATORS BETTING ON WHAT

FROM THE YOUNGEST TO THE NEARLY CENTENARIANS, SOME
HOBBIES ARE SHARED ACROSS GENERATIONS.
THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT OF MARGARET
THATCHER AND ALLIED NEWSPAPERS, INCLUDING RUPERT
MURDOCH, ATTACKED PUBLIC BROADCASTS IN THE UK
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AMERICAN DEREGULATION. THE
BROADCASTING ACT OF 1990 WAS LESS RADICAL IN
PRIVATIZING PUBLIC TELEVISION THAN FEARED, DUE TO THE
SUPPORT OF TRADITIONAL CONSERVATIVE SECTORS. THE
LEGISLATION IMPACTED THE TELEVISION SYSTEM, LEADING
TO THE CONSOLIDATION OF ITV INTO ONLY TWO COMPANIES
AND ALLOWING MURDOCH'S BRITISH SKY BROADCASTING TO
DOMINATE SUBSCRIPTION TV. THE ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE
CABLE TV FAILED, RESULTING IN SKY'S DOMINANCE IN THE
DIGITAL TV MARKET THROUGH SPORTS EVENTS.
ENTERTAINMENT
THEATER:
TELEVISION
ONE OF THE GREAT MILESTONES OF ART IS ELIZABETHAN THEATER, WHICH
EMERGED FROM THE SECOND HALF OF THE 16TH CENTURY TO THE EARLY
17TH CENTURY. ITS NAME, "ELIZABETHAN," COMES FROM THE FACT THAT
MOST OF ITS EXISTENCE COINCIDED WITH THE REIGN OF QUEEN ELIZABETH
I, A PERIOD OF ARTISTIC FERVOR IN ENGLAND. THE THEATER HAD THE
FOLLOWING STRUCTURE: A BUILDING FACING A LARGE COURTYARD, WITH
THE STAGE AT THE BACK. THERE WAS A CLEAR SEPARATION, AS ONE-THIRD
OF THE GALLERIES PROVIDED SEATS FOR THE MORE FORTUNATE, THE
"GENTLEMEN'S ROOM," WHILE COMMON PEOPLE STOOD OR SAT IN THE
COURTYARD. ELIZABETHAN THEATER CAN BE CONSIDERED A MIXTURE OF
POETIC AND THEATRICAL TRADITIONS FROM CLASSICAL CULTURE, WHERE,
WITH THE AUDIENCE'S IMAGINATION, AUTHORS COULD TELL ANY STORY,
ENCOMPASSING GREEK ROMANCES AND TRAGEDIES, MEDIEVAL TALES, AND
ITALIAN COMEDIES, AMONG OTHERS.
As examples of great playwrights from this period, we have Ben Jonson, Christopher
Marlowe, and, of course, William Shakespeare, who, through the work of his company
at the Globe Theatre, left one of the greatest dramatic legacies for world theater.
SPORT
FOOTBAL RUGBY TENNIS
FOOTBALL IS THE MOST POPULAR
AND WIDELY PRACTICED SPORT

MODERN FOOTBALL, WHERE THE
RULES OF THE GAME WERE
ESTABLISHED. THE PREMIER

FOOTBALL LEAGUE, IS ONE OF
THE MOST WATCHED AND
COMPETITIVE LEAGUES IN THE
WORLD, BEING AS RENOWNED AS
THE WORLD CUP.
RUGBY IS A BRITISH PASSION,
DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN
FORMS: RUGBY UNION AND
RUGBY LEAGUE. RUGBY

ENGLAND. TWICKENHAM
STADIUM IN LONDON IS THE
HOME OF ENGLAND'S RUGBY
UNION MATCHES AND IS AN
ICONIC VENUE FOR THE
SPORT.

HAS PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE ON THE GLOBAL MUSIC SCENE.
THE CLASSICAL MUSIC TRADITION IN
ENGLAND DATES BACK TO THE MIDDLE AGES,
WITH SACRED MUSIC BEING AN ESSENTIAL
ELEMENT OF RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES.
COMPOSERS LIKE HENRY PURCELL AND
EDWARD ELGAR LEFT A LASTING LEGACY IN
ENGLISH CLASSICAL MUSIC. ELGAR'S "POMP
AND CIRCUMSTANCE MARCHES" IS OFTEN
ASSOCIATED WITH A SENSE OF PATRIOTISM.
IN THE 60S, ENGLAND PLAYED A
CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE GLOBAL MUSIC
SCENE WITH THE RISE OF THE
BEATLES AND THE "BRITISH
INVASION." BANDS LIKE THE BEATLES,
THE ROLLING STONES, THE WHO, AND
THE KINKS DOMINATED

COMMEMORATIVE
DATES
AND
CELEBRATORY DANCES
THE COMMEMORATIVE DATES OF ENGLAND ARE A BEAUTIFUL SYMBOL OF THE COUNTRY'S
ESSENCE: MULTICULTURAL AND UNUSUAL, THEY HAVE BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH
ATTRACTIONS FOR VISITORS.
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO TYPES OF HOLIDAYS: BANK HOLIDAYS
(WHEN BANKS CLOSE) AND COMMON LAW HOLIDAYS, WHICH ARE DATES ESTABLISHED AS
HOLIDAYS BY ECONOMIC SECTORS ACCORDING TO THE COUNTRY'S LAWS. MOST NATIONAL
HOLIDAYS ALSO DO NOT OCCUR ON A FIXED DAY.
IF A HOLIDAY FALLS ON A SUNDAY, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DATE IS USUALLY MOVED TO THE NEXT
MONDAY: THIS WAY, NOBODY LOSES THE DAY OFF.
SOME OF THESE HOLIDAYS ARE: ST. GEORGE'S DAY, KING’S DAY, BONFIRE NIGHT, SPRING AND
SUMMER BANK HOLIDAY.
ENGLAND ALSO HAS LOTS OF CELEBRATORY DANCES, AMONG THE MOST FAMOUS IS THE
MORRIS DANCE .
MORRIS DANCE
• IT’S A PREDOMINANTLY MALE TRADITIONAL DANCE THAT INVOLVES ENERGETIC LEAPS,
ALTERNATING LEGS. THE DISTINCTIVE ATTIRE INCLUDES COSTUMES ADORNED WITH BELL
PADS ON THE SHINS, ALONG WITH ACCESSORIES SUCH AS SWORDS, HANDKERCHIEFS, AND
STICKS. THE EARLIEST MENTION OF THE DANCE DATES BACK TO 1448, APPEARING IN BISHOP
VISITATIONS, PLAYS, AND OTHER OCCASIONS.
EDUCATION
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN ENGLAND IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST IN
THE WORLD, PROVIDING A HIGH STANDARD OF TEACHING QUALITY AND COMPULSORY EDUCATION
FROM THE AGE OF 5 TO 16.
In this way, the British educational system is divided into Key Stages, which are blocks of school years, and at
the end of each block, schools in England assess the students' performance.
• From ages 4 to 5, it's the "reception" year;
• From ages 5 to 7, 1st Key Stage (primary education - Year 1 to Year 2);
• From ages 7 to 11, 2nd Key Stage (primary education - Year 3 to Year 6);
• From ages 11 to 14, 3rd Key Stage (Year 7 to Year 9);
• From ages 14 to 16, 4th Key Stage (secondary education - Year 10 to Year 11).
Upon completing the 11th year of education in England, students need to take the General Certificate of
Secondary Education (GCSE) exams, which are usually required for employment in England.
At the age of 16, students decide whether they prefer to leave school or continue studying.
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:
HIGH SCHOOL IN ENGLAND ENCOMPASSES YEAR 7 THROUGH YEAR 11.
DURING THIS PERIOD, STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO STUDY CORE SUBJECTS
SUCH AS ENGLISH LANGUAGE, MATHEMATICS, AND SCIENCES, BUT THEY CAN
ALSO CHOOSE NON-ESSENTIAL ELECTIVE SUBJECTS.
HIGH SCHOOL
THERE ARE ALSO EXCHANGE PROGRAM OPTIONS. THE MAIN
GOAL OF THESE PROGRAMS IS TO FACILITATE THE
EXCHANGE OF CULTURE AND KNOWLEDGE. THIS IS WHY
HIGH SCHOOL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS ARE RECOMMENDED
FOR INDIVIDUALS AGED 15 TO 18 WHO WISH TO STUDY IN
ENGLAND, IMMERSING THEMSELVES IN THE EXPERIENCE OF
EDUCATION ABROAD.
TOP 3 UNIVERSITIES
TOP 3 UNIVERSITIES:
Ranked as the best university in England
according to global rankings, the University of
Oxford was founded in 1096 and has preserved
its history throughout the years. It is not only the
oldest higher education institution among those
that use the English language but, more
importantly, it's renowned for its teaching
excellence, a factor that consistently places it on
the lists of the world's top universities.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY
TOP 3 UNIVERSITIES:
The University of Cambridge is another globally
recognized institution known for the quality of its
education and the success of its graduates.
Interestingly, its history is closely tied to the
University of Oxford, with which it maintains a
certain level of rivalry. This is because the
University of Cambridge was founded in 1209 by
former scholars of Oxford.
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY
TOP 3 UNIVERSITIES:
Founded in 1907, Imperial College London earns
its reputation as one of the top universities in
England not just by name alone; this institution's
primary focus is on the practical application of
science and technology.
Among its notable alumni is Sir Alexander
Fleming, one of the 14 Nobel Prize winners who
have passed through the university.
IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON
ADMISSION TO UNIVERSITIES IN ENGLAND IS COORDINATED BY THE
UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SERVICE (UCAS). TO APPLY TO AN
INSTITUTION IN THE COUNTRY, INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS MUST ACCESS
THE UCAS WEBSITE AND COMPLETE THE APPLICATION.
WAYS TO ENTER UNIVERSITY
UNLIKE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION,
HIGHER EDUCATION IN ENGLAND IS NOT FREE. AS A
RESULT, TO PURSUE AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE,
STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY TUITION FEES
BASED ON THE COURSE, LEVEL OF STUDY, AND THE
CHOSEN UNIVERSITY.

The primary functions of executive power and public policies are attributed to the Prime Minister, who is the head of government, a position currently held by Rish Sunak.

    ENGLISH CUISINE ISA DELIGHTFUL FUSION OF HISTORICAL TRADITIONS AND CULTURAL INFLUENCES. OVER THE CENTURIES, BRITISH COOKING HAS EVOLVED BY BLENDING LOCAL INGREDIENTS AND CULINARY TECHNIQUES FROM DIVERSE REGIONS. WHILE BRITISH FOOD HAS SOMETIMES BEEN THE SUBJECT OF JOKES, RECENT YEARS HAVE SEEN A REEVALUATION AND REVITALIZATION, RESULTING IN A DIVERSE AND VIBRANT CULINARY LANDSCAPE. The cuisine boasts traditional dishes that are a reflection of the country's history and resources. The renowned "Full English Breakfast" is a prime example, featuring eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, mushrooms, and toast. Equally cherished is the "Sunday Roast," a weekly lunch featuring roast meat, roasted potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding. Yet, the impact of multiculturalism is evident in modern meals. Due to migration and globalization, London and other cities offer an incredible range of restaurants serving dishes from all corners of the world. Moreover, a growing focus on seasonal and local ingredients has led to a resurgence in sustainable agriculture. England's culinary landscape is a testament to diversity and evolution over time. While its reputation has had its ups and downs, contemporary times are witnessing a culinary renaissance led by innovative chefs, premium ingredients, and a heightened awareness of food sourcing. The blend of culinary traditions and global influences has transformed the British food scene into an exciting and rewarding journey of exploration.

    THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENTOF MARGARET THATCHER AND ALLIED NEWSPAPERS, INCLUDING RUPERT MURDOCH, ATTACKED PUBLIC BROADCASTS IN THE UK UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AMERICAN DEREGULATION. THE BROADCASTING ACT OF 1990 WAS LESS RADICAL IN PRIVATIZING PUBLIC TELEVISION THAN FEARED, DUE TO THE SUPPORT OF TRADITIONAL CONSERVATIVE SECTORS. THE LEGISLATION IMPACTED THE TELEVISION SYSTEM, LEADING TO THE CONSOLIDATION OF ITV INTO ONLY TWO COMPANIES AND ALLOWING MURDOCH'S BRITISH SKY BROADCASTING TO DOMINATE SUBSCRIPTION TV. THE ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE CABLE TV FAILED, RESULTING IN SKY'S DOMINANCE IN THE DIGITAL TV MARKET THROUGH SPORTS EVENTS. ENTERTAINMENT THEATER: TELEVISION ONE OF THE GREAT MILESTONES OF ART IS ELIZABETHAN THEATER, WHICH EMERGED FROM THE SECOND HALF OF THE 16TH CENTURY TO THE EARLY 17TH CENTURY. ITS NAME, "ELIZABETHAN," COMES FROM THE FACT THAT MOST OF ITS EXISTENCE COINCIDED WITH THE REIGN OF QUEEN ELIZABETH I, A PERIOD OF ARTISTIC FERVOR IN ENGLAND. THE THEATER HAD THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURE: A BUILDING FACING A LARGE COURTYARD, WITH THE STAGE AT THE BACK. THERE WAS A CLEAR SEPARATION, AS ONE-THIRD OF THE GALLERIES PROVIDED SEATS FOR THE MORE FORTUNATE, THE "GENTLEMEN'S ROOM," WHILE COMMON PEOPLE STOOD OR SAT IN THE COURTYARD. ELIZABETHAN THEATER CAN BE CONSIDERED A MIXTURE OF POETIC AND THEATRICAL TRADITIONS FROM CLASSICAL CULTURE, WHERE, WITH THE AUDIENCE'S IMAGINATION, AUTHORS COULD TELL ANY STORY, ENCOMPASSING GREEK ROMANCES AND TRAGEDIES, MEDIEVAL TALES, AND ITALIAN COMEDIES, AMONG OTHERS. As examples of great playwrights from this period, we have Ben Jonson, Christopher Marlowe, and, of course, William Shakespeare, who, through the work of his company at the Globe Theatre, left one of the greatest dramatic legacies for world theater.
