Education system in Hungary:

Children are enrolled in primary school between the ages of six and seven though they are obliged to start their
education earlier by attending pre-school programmes in the kindergarten.
Pre-school programmes focus on the physiological and psychological development of children. These programmes are
devoted to develop motor coordination, independence, cooperation and adequate behaviour with adults and peers.
The primary school consists of two levels, that is, the lower primary level and the upper primary level, both of which are
made up of four grades.
Children start their primary education at the age of six or seven and generally spend eight years there. Schools are
obliged to take all the students who live within their area, but parents may seek admission for their children at any
institution. During the first four years in primary school, known as lower primary level, the curriculum focuses on
developing general skills and abilities, while during the second four years, known as upper primary level, students learn
various arts and science subjects. It is also compulsory for children to study a foreign language in primary school.
The Hungarian secondary education has three basic types of schools for students: secondary grammar school,
secondary vocational school, and vocational school.
Secondary grammar school provides a general academic type of secondary education and prepares students for the
matura exam, that can be taken at two levels : intermediate and advance. The main aim of such schools is to prepare
students for higher education. Secondary vocational schools offer an opportunity to take a matura exam as well as
vicational education and training. In vocational schools the focus is on learning a trade.
Since Hungary signed the Bologna declaration, university education has been divided into two levels, bachelor and
master. This makes the standards of academic degrees comparable and compatible in all the participating countries. The
aim of this portfolio is to facilitate the mobility of students and employees.
University students have the opportunity to take part in exchange programmes, to provide the opportunity for students to
study in a foreign country and experience the everyday life and culture there. The best-known is The Erasmus
Programme. Students study for a period of at least three months in an EU country and their grades and credits are
recognised by their home universities. The main attraction of the programme is that students do not pay extra tuition and
can apply for grants to finance their accommodation and living expenses.

Education in England:

In England there are not enough nursery schools for all children under five, so parents themselves often from play
groups for their children where they can go a few times a week. By law, all children between ages five and sixteen must
receive a full-time education. Most students in England go to publicly-funded state schools. From 5 to 7 years, children
go to infant schools and from 8 to 11 years to junior schools. From the age of 11 most children attend a comprehensive
school until the age of 16 to 18. Primary schools usually include both girls and boys as pupils, while secondary schools
may be either single-sex or co-educational. After five years of secondary education, students take up to ten exams in
different subjects at the level of General Certificate of Secondary Education, also known as GCSE. After taking GSCEs,
students can either leave secondary schooling or decide to continue their studies. Those who want to enter higher
education are obliged to take advanced level exams, know as A levels. Undergraduate degrees take three years to
complete in England, and a master's degree is normally earned in a single year.

Education in the USA:

In the United States children start the eight-grade elementary school at the age of six. After the elementary school, the
sutdents attend four years of high school. In some cases students between 14 and 18 go to junior high school instead of
the last two years of elementary school and the first two of high school. School is compulsory until the age of 16 or
finishing the eighth grade. After high schools the students can attend university for four years. Local community and
vocational-technical colleges offer two-year associate degrees and other courses while providing access routes to state
and private university masters' degrees completed in one to two years, and doctoral degrees that can take up to seven
years.

They have prom night when they graduate from education. They have sports day's, presentation nights.

They can have talent competitions where they compete in arts against other classes in the school.
So there was a music section, an art section an creative writing section, even a drama section.

The annual sports day is a little more competitive.

A ball/prom at the end of secondary school.

The Presentation evening (for certificates such as GCSEs and ALevels) which often have cake and fancy clothes and
speeches.
The leavers ceremony where the teachers tell you you'll do fine and try to give rousing speeches for the future. Guest
speakers are invited to say how their life wound up and to give some future advice.
