British Education

[www.native-english.ru/topics/british-education]

British education helps to develop fully the abilities of individuals, for their own benefit and for society as a whole. Compulsory schooling takes place between the ages of 5 and 16, but some pupils remain at school for 2 years more, to prepare for further higher education. Post school education is organized to provide a wide range of opportunities for academic and vocational education and to continue studying throughout life.

Administration of state schools is decentralized. The department of education and science is responsible for national education policy, but it doesn't run any schools, it doesn't employ teachers, or prescribe curricula or textbooks. All schools are given a considerable amount of freedom. According to the law only one subject is compulsory.

Британское образование позволяет в полной мере развивать способности личности, как для своего блага, так и для общества в целом. Обязательное школьное обучение происходит в возрасте от 5 до 16 лет, но некоторые ученики остаются в школе на 2 года больше, чтобы подготовиться к получению дальнейшему высшего образования. Пост школьное образование организовано с целью предоставить широкий спектр возможностей для академического и профессионального образования и продолжить обучение в течение всей жизни.

Администрация государственных школах является децентрализованной. Департамент образования и науки отвечает за национальную политику в образовании, но он не курирует школы, не нанимает на работу учителей, и не предписывает учебные планы или учебники.

Children are taught arithmetic, reading, composition, history, geography nature study and others. At this stage of schooling pupils were often placed in A, B, C and D streams according to their abilities.

By the law all children must receive full-time education between the ages of 5 and 16. Formally each child can remain at school for further 2 or 3 years and continue their studies in the sixth form up to the age of 18 or 19.
