All children in the UK must attend full-time education from ages 5 to 16 (4 to 16 in Northern Ireland). They can then remain in full-time education at a school or college, start an apprenticeship, or remain in part-time education while working at least 20 hours per week until age 18. Primary education covers ages 5 to 11 and teaches core subjects like English, math, and science. Secondary education from ages 11 to 16/18 focuses on more specialized subjects and finishes with GCSE exams. Students can then pursue A-Levels, vocational courses, or university, where undergraduate degrees cost up to £9,250 per year in tuition fees.
