Introduction. Great Britain is one of the most developed countries in
the world. Great Britain enters into the number of countries of “large
eight”. We all know that the Britains are very cultural people and
many possess an outstanding mind. What makes them similar? National
culture, heredity, traditions or may be education? But do many people
in our country know about education in other countries? Many students
would like to know about how their contemporaries in other countries
live. In what schools do they study? Does the state ensure all them
with necessary means for studying? What are their chances to obtain
higher or technical education for worthy life in the future? This
article opens the curtain above education in Britain and contains
sufficiently complete and comprehensive information for the student
and school staff. The purpose of this article is to study the system
of education in Britain and to look at from an objective point of
view. In the second half of the 20-century qualitative changes in
education system occurred in Britain: the system of education began to
be more oriented towards the development of useful knowledge. But in
spite of this in the British system of education many survivals of the
past, which strongly harm education, still remained. In this synopsis
the following reductions are accepted:
· A-level (advance level) –
an examination usually taken by pupils at their final year at school
at the age of eighteen. The exam was introduced in 1951. A-levels are
needed to enter most types of higher education and a student must
usually have three good grades to enter university.
· AS level (advanced
supplementary level) – an examination taken by some pupils in their
final year at school when they are taking their A-level. The AS level
is a simpler examination than the A-level and can be studied in half
the time. The exam was first introduced in 1989 and is intended to
give pupils the chance to study a greater variety of subjects.
· Cathedral school (choir
school) – a school in a cathedral city, usually a preparatory school
or, occasionally, a public school, some of their pupils sing in the
cathedral choir. · College
of Further Education (CFE) – a local college attended mostly by
students between the ages of 16 and 19 who are working for the NVQ’s
and practical qualifications; by some students taking A-levels and by
mature students doing part-time courses. ·
College – 1. An independent institution of higher education within a
university, typically one at Oxford University or Cambridge
University. 2. A specialized professional institution of secondary
higher education, such as a college of music or a college of
education. 3. The official title of certain public schools, such as
Eton College. · Comprehensive school
