I think there are certain differences and similarities between school system in Vietnam and that in England. The first, there are some similarities: Both systems have the same three levels of education and the starting age of schooling. The children can attend Pre-school when they are from three to five, and both stages are optional. Then when students finish the compulsory education, they have to take an examination called GCSE. The second, I want to talk some differences between two school systems: In Vietnam, the starting age of schooling is obligatory but in England there isn’t such a strict and unreasonable rule of starting age of schooling. This means pupil can attend class if she or he has enough capacity as required.
