In Britain most schools are financed by the state and, for the children attending theseschools, they are free However; about 5 per cent of the school population attend privateschools, and these are financed from pupils' fees The general pattern of schooling inBritain is as follows

Trang 6

All the children must start school at the age of five Many have previously attendedplay schools or nursery schools, but these are not compulsory Primary education,whether state or private, seeks to develop all aspects of the child: physical and emotional,

as well as intellectual and cultural

Roughly at the age of 11 (but often somewhat later, especially in the case of privateeducation), children move to different schools These are called secondary schools, andnowadays most of them are comprehensive, that is to say, children of all abilities go tothe same

school Within some comprehensive schools children are put into different classesaccording to their intellectual ability; in others, children of different abilities are all kepttogether in the same class

In the first four or five years at a secondary school, the pupils have a set timetable ofsubjects, such as History, English and a foreign language, as well as science subjects andsports At the end of this period most pupils take one or two public examinations, thoughthese do not normally include all the subjects that the students have studied In fact, apupil may take the exam in as many, or as few, subjects as is thought suitable

After these exams, i.e at the age of 16 or so, most pupils at state schools leave Onlyabout 30 per cent continue at school, compared with about 90 per cent in the smallprivate sector For those

that stay on, in either type of school, the next two or three years are spent concentrating

on a small number of subjects, and at the end of these years of concentrated preparation,the pupils usually take a public school-leaving examination in their three specialistsubjects Their results in these exams will largely determine whether they now start towork, or whether they can continue with higher education at a university or college
