Text: “The system of education in Great Britain”.
Preschool education and schooling in Great Britain
Most schools in Great Britain are free. Private schools are rather expensive. Not every family can afford their child to study there but the education there is of a high quality. Discipline in such schools is strict. Eton, Harrow, Rugby and Winchester are the most famous private schools of Great Britain.
Preschool education
Children receive preschool education from 3 to 5 years. Such schools are called nursery schools. In nursery schools children play a lot, learn to listen attentively and to behave well.
Schools
The school system of Great Britain has two levels:
-compulsory primary (for the pupils from 5 to 11 years old);
-secondary (for the pupils from 11 to)
Compulsory primary schooling takes place between the ages of 5 and – 16. It is divided into infant schools (for the ages of 5 – 7 years old) and junior schools (for the ages of 7- 11 years old).
In the infant schools pupils are taught to read, write, draw, sing and dance. When they are 7 years old they move to the junior schools where they learn more difficult subjects.
In the junior schools there are A, B, C and D classes. Pupils study there according to their abilities.
The secondary education begins at the age of 11. The majority of such schools are comprehensive. In most secondary schools boys and girls are taught together. The secondary education includes the Grammar schools and the Secondary Modern schools. In the Grammar schools pupils prepare for entering colleges and universities. The Secondary Modern schools provide the limited education and pupils become workers because the education is specialized. After the main examinations in the secondary school pupils get the General Certificate of Education or the certificate of the secondary education.
Formally pupils can remain at school for 2- 3 years up to the age of 18 – 19 to pass their exams and get an Advanced level of education. It is a good chance for them to get a higher education.
Higher education in Great Britain
Higher education in Great Britain is represented by universities which are very expensive. The most famous universities of Great Britain are Oxford and Cambridge.
The Cambridge University consists of over 100 departments, faculties and schools. The University of Cambridge has a very rich history. The University of Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world. The University of Cambridge is known worldwide for the excellence of its teaching, research and the quality of its graduates. Lectures, seminars and practical classes are led by the people who are the world experts in their field.
Oxford is a historical and unique institution. As the oldest English-speaking university in the world the Oxford university has strong links with many research institutions, business and industry in the USA and overseas. Oxford’s teaching is in the top rank nationally and internationally. The
University has excellent facilities and resources for education: world-famous libraries, laboratories, museums etc.
Undergraduate courses offer students the chance to study their chosen field more deep. After 4 years of study students get the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree. To get the
Master’s degree they must study 1 or 2 additional years. The highest academic degree is the Doctor of Philosophy.
