you speak about ways to improve our educational system in your
country.
 The Algerian educational system has been changed over time. However, it must be improved taking into
consideration different ways and measures.

To start with, the ministry of education had better give much more importance to the school curriculum
especially the one of the primary school. School programmes and progressions must be reviewed and
renewed to fit the learners’ needs and abilities. Secondly, the government should build more schools and
classes particularly in remote areas. And to have a good learning and teaching atmosphere, the number of
students must be minimized in classes. Thirdly, the ministry of education should provide schools with
modern educational aids in addition to supporting the online learning and teaching. Finally, they have to
increase faculty access to resources and training. They also have to provide rich and reliable teaching
resources and design new and good books.

As a conclusion, it’s high time the government and the ministry of education worked hard to improve
the educational system.

Read the text and do the following activities:

In many ways, the structures and system of education in

the UK are similar to education systems in other countries,
notably other countries in Europe. Both UK and US provide
quality education. But the education system is in favor of
students in term that their degree duration is smaller in
comparison to UK. In UK a student can adopt different
subjects according to his choice and there is flexibility in opting
subjects. In contrast, the education system in US is strict and is
lengthy.
Education in the UK is compulsory from age 5 to age 18, and is largely provided through the state
education system. However, unlike in some other countries, the state school system in the UK is not
unitary. Most schools are fully "public" in the sense that they are directly or indirectly financed by the
state. State schools account for about 93% of pupils enrolled in the primary and secondary school system.
The state school system, schools at primary level (up to age 11) are known as primary schools or junior
schools, and schools in the secondary sector are generally known as comprehensive schools or high schools
or academies. Some children receive their primary education at an infant school and then a junior school
whereas others receive it at a primary school that combines the two. Almost all pupils in state schools are
day pupils, as there are just 40 state boarding schools in the whole of England, and most of these are
selective. The state education system in Scotland is slightly different to the system in England, particularly
at secondary level.
 Although secondary education in the UK is compulsory up to the age of 18, access to some state
secondary schools, notably specialized academies, and grammar schools, is by selective entrance.
Afterward, some students will start the profession life while few others to a sixth form college to study for
advanced levels in two, three or four subjects in order to enter university. The university system in the UK
differs from university systems in the rest of Europe. Furthermore the university system in Scotland is not
the same as the university system in England It is more similar to the systems in place in continental
Europe.

The Reported Speech

● We use a 'reporting verb' like 'say' , 'tell' , ‘asked’ ….. If this verb is in the present tense, it's easy.
We just put 'she says' and then the sentence:

• Direct speech: I like ice cream.

• Indirect speech: She says (that) she likes ice cream.

Examinations have an important role to play in any system of education. Since exams are necessary,
they sometimes put students under pressure and cause stress-related conditions which lead to negative
effects.
The most noticeable causes of examination stress are: leaving revision to the last minute, poor and
inadequate time management also having the fear of failure. Another cause of examination stress is
students’ health problems. Most students suffer from lack of sleep, as they work too hard, and don’t take
enough time for breaks. Also, their eating habits change and they may lose appetite. As a result, they
become less resistant to inflection and diseases such as ulcers, high blood pressure and vomit.

One major consequence of stress is anxiety and nervousness. Many students fail their exams because
they lose self-control and concentration that lead them to get into panic when they see the exam. They
don’t manage to score well or have lower scores. Generally, students who do not cram perform better than
those who do in the exams, especially the Baccalaureate exam.

To conclude, students, in order to overcome the problem of examination stress. They should organize
their time for revision and activities. They ought to eat well and take enough rest before exams.

Unit assessment
Read the text and do the following activities.
 In our present age, ethics has become important in education. We can easily reach all knowledge
by technology but using technology may reveal some ethical problems such as plagiarism. That is why
ethics should be placed as a course in educational systems.

Before discussing this issue, it is necessary to define what ethics is and what education is. In general,
ethics is moral philosophy related to our values and virtues. It is the study of what is wrong and what is
right. Education is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical
ability of an individual. It makes a man complete, develops society and state and helps children to become
good citizens and better human beings.

Why is Ethics important and why should it be taught in schools? Scholars present three arguments
about why ethics should be taught. These arguments are socialization, the quality of life and the tool.
According to socialization, school should help students to become good citizens. The second argument
claims that school helps students to live a good life through acting in a morally correct way. And according
to the last argument, “the students’ results in other subjects would improve if they had ethics in school”.

From these arguments, it can be concluded that ethics is necessary because it provides a better life
to students. They can be either unfriendly or peaceful by education. You cannot teach a child to obey rules
unless you teach him ethics. Aristotle says, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no
education at all”. Reading, writing and mathematics are only important when they help children to become
more human.
