V. Письменно переведите текст и дайте ответы на вопросы.

Education in the United Kingdom is compulsory from the age of five to sixteen. Children under five go either to nursery schools, or to playgroups. Both types of pre-primary educational establishments are non-state; the difference is that a child spends the whole day in a nursery school, while he or she can stay in a playgroup only for some hours a day. Anyway, the main aim of such kind of establishments is to make the children ready for primary schools. Children play, draw, model things from clay and learn to work together.

Compulsory education for all children begins at the age of five. There are 35000 schools in Britain. All of them are the responsibility of the Local Education Authorities (LEA). The LEA caters the curriculum and exams in each region; they also appoint head teachers and hold assessment tests at schools.

Primary school is for children from five to eleven. At the age of eleven pupils go to comprehensive school.
