II. Listen to the text: Secondary Education in Great Britain

About 93% of British children receive free education in state schools. The rest attend private fee-paying schools. Though compulsory schooling is from age 5 to 16, more than a half of 3- and 4-year olds go to nursery schools.

The National Curriculum makes it compulsory for all pupils to study “core” subjects: English, mathematics, science (biology, chemistry and physics). Pupils must also study “foundation subjects”: history, geography, technology, music, art, physical education and a foreign language. Extra-curricular activities include: school-clubs (sport, choir, drama, debating, etc.) and outings (museum, factory and field trips).

Passage from one academic year to the next is automatic. Pupils are examined in the “core” subjects at the age of 7, 11 and 14. Main secondary school examinations, known as General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), are taken at the age of 16. Generally pupils take English language and literature, mathematics, science and a foreign language.

About 66% of pupils, who have passed their GCSE examina­tions, stay on at school for another two years (6th form) to obtain higher academic or vocational qualification. They specialize in two or three subjects in which they take the Advanced Level Certificate (A-level). This certificate is used as an entrance qualification for universities and colleges as well as for many forms of professional training.

People aged over 16 may attend a Sixth Form College or Further Education College. Sixth Form Colleges offer mostly academic courses to those who want to get A-level certificate in order to enter university. Further Education Colleges also offer vocational training to those who want to get high level jobs in various professions (business, engineering, etc.).
