The System of Primary and Secondary Education in England

In England schooling is compulsory for children of 5 to 16 years of age. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authority, and the great majority attend such schools. Yet, a limited number of schoolchildren attend fee-paying schools called "public", though they are in fact private schools.

Primary Schools. (A Primary school - начальная школа). At five years old, the age at which education becomes compulsory, children go to infant schools until they arc seven and then on to junior schools until the age of 11. Over 80% of all primary schools are mixed.

There are some types of secondary schools in England. They are: grammar schools, modern schools and comprehensive schools.

Secondary Schools. At the age of 11 when children leave junior school to start the second stage of their education they go to assessment centers or for interviews at local secondary schools. This system has replaced the old selective examination (it was called "Eleven Plus Examination") which was much criticized by teachers and parents. Nowadays most of the secondary schools in Great Britain have gone over to be comprehensive system. Almost 50% of all secondary schools are single sex.

The Comprehensive Schools take all children over eleven regardless of their supposed intelligence. In these schools children are not separated according to ability. On graduating, the students can enter universities, colleges, polytechnics or other higher educational establishments.

Pupils going on to higher education or professional training usually take "A" level examinations in two or three subjects. Universities accept students mainly on the basis of their "A" level results.

There are forty-seven universities in Britain and thirty former polytechnics, plus 350 colleges and institutes of higher education.

The most famous universities are Oxford and Cambridge, called "Oxbridge".

Higher Education in the United States of America

Higher education in the USA is the most extensive and versatile system of postschool education in the world. There are two main types of higher education: state (or public) and private. The main difference between the two is a financial one. It is possible to classify institutions of higher education in the United States of America into four main categories:

1. Technical institutions and "semi-professional" schools offering two-year or three-year courses, leading to an "associate" qualification and preparing students for employment in semi-professional occupations such as medical, dental and engineering technician or skilled employees for commerce, etc.

2. Junior colleges or community colleges which provide two-year courses which may lead to studies in the two categories below.

3. Liberal arts colleges, states colleges and independent professional institutions awarding the first degree (bachelor's degree) and sometimes the master's degree and the doctorate. Independent professional institutions include teacher-training colleges, institutes of technology (providing short courses in category I), schools of theology, art, etc.

4. Universities, which may award the highest degree (doctor's degree).

In most of large universities students can study all subjects, Horn humanities to applied sciences. Within a university, colleges provide undergraduate courses leading to the first university degree and graduate schools provide courses leading to higher (postgraduate) degrees. It should be noted, however, that the various programmes offered by different types of institutions often overlap considerably. A university, for instance, usually comprises institutions of professional education as well as offers courses similar to those of a technical institutions.
