III. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers.
In Britain, children are required to be in full-time education between the ages
of 5 and 16. Different areas of Britain have different school systems. In some
areas, children receive their primary education at an infant school and then a
junior school, or at a primary school that combines the two. At about 11 they
begin their secondary education at a comprehensive school, a grammar school
or a high school. In other areas children go to a first school at age 5, a middle
school at 8 and an upper school from 13 onwards.
Most children go to state schools. Until 1988 these were all responsible to a
Local Education Authority (LEA). LEAs obtain their funding from central gov-
ernment and the council tax. In 1988 secondary schools and larger primary
schools were encouraged to opt out of LEA control and become grant-
maintained.
Some children go to independent school run by private organizations, for
which their parents have to pay fees. A few go to public schools, such as Eton
and Harrow. Younger children may attend a private preparatory school until the
age of 13. Some parents may send their children to private schools, even if this
is against their principles, because they think that their children will receive a
better education.
The British education system aims to educate the whole person, so that
each child develops his or her personality as well as gaining academic knowl-
edge. Most primary and secondary schools offer a range of extra-curricular
activities,· including sports, music, community service and trips to places of
interest. Secondary schools also give careers advice and help student to prepare
for having a job by arranging short periods of work experience with local
businesses.
