Educational System
in Great Britain
The educational system of G.B. is
extremely complex and bewildering. It is very difficult to generalize about
particular types of schools as schools differ from one to the other.
The department of education and
science is responsible for national educational policy, but it doesn't employee
teacher or prescribe curricular or text books. Each school has it's own board
of governors consisting of teachers, parents, local politicians, members of
local community, businessmen and sometimes pupils.
According to the law only one
subject is compulsory. Such as religious instruction. Schooling for children is
compulsory from 5 to 16, though some provision is made for children under 5 and
some pupils remain at school after 16 to prepare for higher education. The
state school system is usually divided into 2 stages (secondary and primary).
The majority of primary schools are mixed. They are subdivided into infant
schools (ages 5 to 7), and junior schools (ages 7 to 11). In junior schools pupils
were often placed in A, B, C or D-streams, according to their abilities. Under
the pressure of progressive parents and teachers the 11 + examination has now
been abolished in most parts of the country.
There are some types of schools in
G.B. Grammar schools provided an academicals cause for selected pupils from the
age of 11 to 18. Only those children who have the best results are admitted to
these schools. They give pupils a high level of academic education witch can
lead to the university.
Technical Schools offer a general
education with a technical bias and serve those pupils who are more
mechanically minded. The curricular includes more science and mathematics.
Secondary modern schools were formed to provide a non-academic education for
children of lesser attainment. The curricular includes more practical subjects.
The comprehensive schools brings about a general improvement in the system of
secondary education.
