Schooling in Great Britain

English children must go to school when they are five, first to infant schools where they learn the first steps in reading, writing and using numbers. Young children are divided into two groups according to their mental abilities. The curriculum for “strong” and “weak” groups is different, which is the beginning of future education contracts.

When children leave infant school, at the age of seven, they go to junior school until they are about eleven years of age. Their school subjects include English, arithmetic, history, geography, nature study, swimming, music, art, religious instruction and organized games.

When pupils come to the junior school for the first time, they are still often divided into three “streams” – A, B and C – on the basis of their infant-school marks or sometimes after a special test. The brightest children go to the A-stream and the least gifted to the C-steam.

Towards the end of their fourth year in the junior school, a certain percentage of English schoolchildren still have to write their Eleven Plus Examinations, on the results of which they will go the following September to a secondary school of a certain type.

About 5% of elementary school – leavers in Britain go to secondary modern schools. Modern schools do not provide complete secondary education. Some modern schools do not teach foreign languages. In modern schools pupils are also streamed according to their “intelligence”.

The secondary technical school is not a specialized school. It teaches many general subjects. Boys and girls in technical schools study such practical subjects as woodwork, metalwork, needlework, shorthand (stenography) and typing. Not more than two per cent of schoolchildren in Britain go to technical schools.

The grammar school is a secondary school taking about 3% of children offering a full theoretical secondary education including foreign languages, and students can choose which subjects and languages they wish to study. Then they may take the General Certificate of Secondary Education at the ordinary level. The other continue their studies for another two or three years to obtain the General Certificate of Secondary Education at the advanced level, which allows them to enter university.

The comprehensive school combines in one school the courses of all three types of secondary schools; so the pupils can study any subject which is taught in these schools. They are of different types; all of them preserve some form of streaming, but pupils may be moved from one stream to another. Comprehensive schools take over 90% of schoolchildren in Great Britain. The comprehensive school is the most popular type of school, for it provides education for children from all strata.

V. Определите верно или неверно утверждение:

1. English children must go to school when they are seven.

2. Young children are divided into groups according to their physical abilities.

3. Modern schools do not provide complete secondary education.

4. In technical schools boys and girls are taught such practical subjects as woodwork, metalwork, needlework etc.

5. The comprehensive school provides education for children from rich families.

VI. Прочитайте текст и выберите подходящий заголовок:

• peculiarities of educational system in British Universities.

• higher education establishments in London.

• University education in the UK and US.

Of the full-time students now attending English Universities three quarters are men, and one quarter women. Nearly half of them are engaged in the study of arts subjects such as history, languages, economics or law, the others are studying pure or applied sciences such as medicine, dentistry, technology, or agriculture.

The University of London, for instance, includes internal and external students, the latter coming to London only to sit for their examinations. Actually most external students at London University are living in London.

The three terms into which the British University year is divided are roughly eight to ten weeks. Each term is crowded with activity and the vacations between the terms – a month at Christmas, a month at Easter, and three or four months in summer – are mainly periods of intellectual digestion and private study.

A person studying for a degree at a British University is called a graduate.

B.A. or B.Sc. stands for Bachelor of Arts, or of Science, the first degree. M.A. or M.Sc. denotes Master of Arts, or of Science. One can become a B.A. after three years of hard study, and an M.A. at the end of five years.
