Education in Britain is compulsory between the ages of 5 and 16. Over 90 %
of all schoolchildren attend state schools, which are free. Besides this state
system of education there are also private schools, when parents pay fees.
The most important of the private schools are known as Public Schools,
which are secondary schools for boys from the age of 13 to 18 years, and
Preparatory Schools, which are private primary schools preparing pupils for
Public Schools. The education system is divided into 3 stages: (nursery)
primary ,secondary ,higher.
Higher education in the UK
There are 116 universities in the UK. They operate under Royal Charters or,
in a few cases, under Act of Parliament, and enjoy complete academic
freedom: they decide which students to admit, what and how to teach, what
degrees to award and on what conditions. The UK Universities are
independent, autonomous, self-governing institutions. The Government is
responsible for providing Universities' income, but it does not control their
work or teaching
 Higher education in the UK
. A university consists of a number of faculties
which may include divinity, medicine, arts
(philosophy), law, music, natural sciences,
economics, engineering, agriculture, commerce
and education.
Students at universities in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland Usually spend three years of
study, leading to a Bachelor degree, such as a
Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science.
There are some four-year courses, especially
for those studying languages, and medical and
– veterinary courses normally require five or
six years. A full-time first degree in Scotland
generally takes four years for Honours and
three years for the broad-based Ordinary
degree.
University teaching combines lectures, practical classes and small group
teaching in either seminars or tutorials. Each student goes to his tutor's room
once a week to read and discuss an essay which the student has prepared.
With the growth of the Internet, many UK universities and colleges now often
study through distance learning. This usually means learning at home or
work, with no need to visit the learning centre. Distance learning courses are
available at many levels, including degree and postgraduate qualifications.
