Conversation about the education in the uk
D.: Hi, Adrew! Are you in a hurry? Let’s revise the material for the English classes.
A.: Hi, Danil! With pleasure. As far as I remember we are to get information about the educational system
in the UK.
D.: You are absolutely right. First of all, we should memorize that the system of education in Britain is
divided into three stages: primary, secondary and further educational.
A.: And don’t forget that there are state and private schools in the UK.
D.: Good for you. But, you see, about 93 per cent of British children go to state-assisted schools. As far as I
know, both primary and secondary education, between the ages of 5 and 16, is compulsory in Britain.
A.: Yes, I agree with you. And at the age of 15 or 16 pupils take an examination called the General
Certificate of Secondary Education, abbreviated GCSE …
D.: Sorry for interrupting you I want to add, that most pupils, who stay in school beyond the age 16, prepare
for the General Certificate of Education examination at Advanced level, A level. It is abbreviated GCE.
Well, and what about higher education?
A.: I know exactly, that British universities are not part of the public system of education.
D.: Right! They are independent corporations, but they are mainly supported by public funds.
A.: And have you heard about the Open University?
D.: Yes, it is unique in providing degree courses by correspondence for students working in their own
homes. They are supported by books and broadcasts.
A.: Oh, you know so much about it.
D.: Thanks for your assistance.
A.: It was no trouble at all.
