I know English boys and girls
begin to go to school(it is called "infant") at five; at seven
they go to junior schools or departments; at eleven they go to secondary
schools. (After selection procedures at the age of eleven they can study

schools providing all three or any two types of education, in separately
orginized streams known as multilateral or bilateral schools).
These schools consist of denominational
and non-denominational schools. I'd like to yell you about non-denominational
school. One must study there for 6 years. It's open to all boys and
girls. There are the six years in this school. During the first year
all classes recieve the same basic core of subjects namely English,
maths, history, geography, science, French, art, music, P.E., technical
subjects & home economics. Toward the end of the second year pupils
are asked to make their subject choices for third and forth years. Desicions
on this stage are only taken after interviews involving parents, staff
and the pupils themselfs. The curriculum in 3rd and 4th years consistsof
compulsory section (обязательное разделение)
which includes English, math and an options section made up of those
subjects choosen by the pupil at the end of the second year. Optionl
cources are designed to give a sound basic education.
The system of higher education
in Britain includes universities, colleges of education and advanced
cources at various colleges.
There are more than 44 universities
in Britain. But not all universities are equil. They differ from one
another in history and tradition. The oldest and world-known universities
are Oxford and Cambridge.
A university usually consists
of colleges. The departments of the colleges are organized into faculties.
In the university students have a series of lectures, seminars, tutorials
and laboratory classes. Lectures are given to large groups of students
while seminars are much smaller than lectures. Lectures and seminars
are all one hour in length, laboratory classes last 2 or 3 hours. The
academic year devides into 3 terms. First two termslast for 24 weeks;
the 3rd term is reserved for classes and examinations and lasts for
six weeks.
After three years of study a university graduate will leave with the Degree of Bachelor of Arts or Science. Student can continue to take his Master's Degree and then the Doctor's.

The general pattern of education in the USA is an eight-year elementary school, followed by a four-year high school. This has been called 8—4 plan organization. It is proceeded, in many localities, by nursery schools and kindergartens. It is followed by a four-year college and professional schools. This traditional pattern, however, has been varied in many different ways. The 6—3— 3 plan consists of a six-year elementary school, a three-year junior high school, and a three-year senior high school. Another variation is a 6—6 plan organization, with a six-year elementary school followed by a six-year secondary school.American education provides a program for children, beginning at the age of 6 and continuing up to the age of 16 in some of the states, and to 18 in others.
The elementary school in the
United States is generally considered to include the first six or eight
grades of the common-school system, depending upon the organization
that has been accepted for the secondary school. It has been called
the “grade school” or the “grammar school”.
There is no single governmental agency to prescribe for the American school system, different types of organization and of curriculum are tried out.
The length of the school year
varies among the states. Wide variation exists also in the length of
the school day. A common practice is to have school in session from
9:00 to 12:00 in the morning and from 1:00 to 3:30 in the afternoon,
Monday through Friday. The school day for the lower grades is often
from 30 minutes to an hour shorter. Most schools require some homework
to be done by elementary pupils. Elementary Schools, High Schools and
Institutions of Higher Learning
Elementary Schools, High Schools
and Institutions of Higher Learning
There are eight years of elementary schooling. The elementary school is followed by four years of secondary school, or high school. Often the last two years of elementary and the first years of secondary school are combined into a junior high school.
The school year is nine months in length, beginning early in September and sometimes a shorter one in spring. There are slight variations from place to place. Students enter the first grade at the age of six and attendance is compulsory in most states until the age of sixteen or until the student has finished the eighth grade.
The elementary schools tend to be small. The high schools are generally larger and accommodate pupils from four or five elementary schools. A small town generally has several elementary schools and one high school. In some rural communities the one-room country school house still exists. Here may be found from five to twenty-five pupils in grades one through eight, all taught by the same teacher.
Admission to the American high school is automatic on completion of the elementary school. During the four-year high school program the student studies four or five major subjects per year, and classes in each of these subjects meet for an hour a day, five days a week. In addition, the student usually has classes in physical education, music, and art several times a week. If he fails a course, he repeats only that course and not the work of the entire year. Students must complete a certain number of courses in order to receive a diploma, or a certificate of graduation.
Institutions of higher learning supported by public funds are not absolutely free. The state colleges and universities charge a fee for tuition or registration. This fee is higher for those who come from outside the state. Working one’s way through college is commonplace.
Usually there is no admission examination required by a state university for those who have finished high school within the state. Sometimes a certain pattern of high school studies is necessary, however, and some state universities require a certain scholastic average, or average of high school grades.
Private colleges and universities, especially the larger, well-known ones such as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, have rigid scholastic requirements for entrance, including an examination.
It usually takes four years
to meet the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
degree.A Master of Arts or Master of Science degree may be obtained
in one or two additional years.The highest academic degree is the Doctor
of Philosophy.It may take any number of years to complete the original
research work necessary to obtain this degree.
Higher Education Institutions
It has become common for the college program to be divided into broad fields,such as languages and literature,the social sciences,the sciences and mathematics, and the fine arts.Many colleges require all freshmen and sophomores to take one or two full-year courses in each of three fields.Certain Courses,such as English or history,may be required for all,with some election permitted in the other fields.
Higher educational institutions usually are governed by a board of regents or a board of trustees.
The executive head of a college or a university is usually called the president. The various colleges or schools which take up a university are headed by deans. Within a school or college there may be departments according to subject matter fields, each of which may be headed by a professor who is designated as department head or chairman. Other members of the faculty hold academic ranks, such as instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, and professor. Graduate students who give some part-time service may be designated as graduate assistants or fellows.
Professional education in
fields such as agriculture, dentistry, law, engineering, medicine, pharmacy,
teaching, etc. is pursued in professional schools which may be part
of a university or may be separate institutions which confine their
instruction to a single profession. Often two, three, or four years
of pre-professional liberal arts education are required before admission
to a professional school. Three to five years of specialized training
lead to professional degrees such as Doctor of Medicine, Bachelor of
Law, etc.
Private and State Colleges
and Universities
Harvard College was established in 1636, with the principal purpose of providing a literate ministry1 for colonial churches. It was a small institution, enrolling only 20 students in 1642 and 60 in 1660. It soon became more than a theological training school2 and established itself as a liberal arts college. The next institution of higher learning established in the American colonies was the College of William and Mary, which opened in 1693 at Williamsburg, Virginia. Other colleges were founded in the next century, but all of them remained small schools for long periods. Students entered at the age of 14 and remained until they were 18, and the curriculum, while rigidly academic and classic was by modern standards rather secondary in nature.
Private colleges and universities were established in various states. The first state university was the University of Virginia, founded in 1819. Some state universities have large endowment funds1 which provide a substantial portion of their support. Other sources of income are student fees, gifts and endowments.
In general, higher education
in the USA may be divided into two broad fields: liberal arts and professional.
Each of these fields may be further subdivided into undergraduate and
graduate levels. The liberal arts program, on the undergraduate level,
may be a two-year junior college course, or a four-year course leading
to a degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. The four-year
course is usually subdivided into a lower division (which may be called
the junior college), consisting of the two first years, and the upper
division, which is the last two years. The first two years continue
the general education and specialization begins in the third year.
Teaching Profession in the
USA
Requirements for teachers’ certificate vary among 50 states. Usually the state department of education, or a state certification board, issues certificates which permit teachers to be employed within the state. Forty-four of the 50 states require at least the completion of a four-year course, with the bachelor’s degree, as a minimum for high school teaching: the tendency to require a fifth year beyond the bachelor’s degree is increasing. Graduation from a two-year normal school or at least two years of college education is the minimum requirement for elementary teaching in 36 states; others demand the completion of a four-year course and the bachelor’s degree.
Because of the decentralization of school control in the USA teachers are employed by local districts rather than by the national government. The American teacher does not have the absolute security of tenure which the French or Australian teacher enjoys. A higher proportion of the teaching force are women than in some other countries.
The teacher-training institutions
have not been able to provide sufficient numbers of fully trained teachers
to replace those retiring and dropping out of the profession and at
the same time to meet the requirements for new classes each year. The
problem of recruiting and suply of teachers remains a serious one. In
general the problem of shortage of teachers has not been met by lowering
certification standards.

The School
Education in Great Britain
The aim of education in general
is to develop to the full the talents of both children and adults for
their own benefit and that of society as a whole. It is a large-scale
investment in the future.
The educational system of Great
Britain has developed for over a hundred years. It is a complicated
system with wide variations between one part of the country and another.
Three partners are responsible for the education service: central government–the
Department of Education and Science (DES), local education authorities
(LEAs), and schools themselves. The legal basis for this partnership
is supplied by the 1944 Education Act.
The Department of Education
and Science is concerned with the formation of national policies for
education. It is responsible for the maintenance of minimum national
standard of education. In exercising its functions the DES is assisted
by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate. The primary functions of the Inspectors
are to give professional advice to the Department, local education authorities,
schools and colleges, and discuss day-to-day problems with them.
Local education authorities
are charged with the provision and day-to-day running of the schools
and colleges in their areas and the recruitment and payment of the teachers
who work in them. They are responsible for the provision of buildings,
materials and equipment. However, the choice of text-books and timetable
are usually left to the headmaster. The content and method of teaching
is decided by the individual teacher.
The administrative functions
of education in each area are in the hands of a Chief Education Officer
who is assisted by a deputy and other officials. Until recently planning
and organization were not controlled by central government. Each LEA
was free to decide how to organize education in its own area. In 1988,
however, the National Curriculum was introduced, which means that there
is now greater government control over what is taught in schools. The
aim was to provide a more balanced education. The new curriculum places
greater emphasis on the more practical aspects of education. Skills
are being taught which pupils will need for life and work.
The chief elements of the national
Curriculum include a broad and balanced framework of study which emphasizes
the practical applications of knowledge. It is based around the core
subjects of English, mathematics and science ( biology, chemistry, etc.
) as well as a number of other foundation subjects, including geography,
history, technology and modern languages. The education reform of 1988
also gave all secondary as well as larger primary schools responsibilities
for managing the major part of their budgets, including costs of staff.
Schools received the right to withdraw from local education authority
control if they wished.
Together with the National
Curriculum, a programme of Records of Achievements was introduced. This
programme contains a system of new tests for pupils at the ages of 7,
11, 13 and 16. The aim of these tests is to discover any schools or
areas which are not teaching to a high enough standard. But many believe
that these tests are unfair because they reflect differences in home
rather than in ability.
The great majority of children
(about 9 million) attend Britain’s 30, 500 state schools. No tuition
fees are payable in any of them. A further 600, 000 go to 2, 500 private
schools, often referred to as the “independent sector” where
the parents have to pay for their children.
In most primary and secondary
state schools boys and girls are taught together. Most independent schools
for younger children are also mixed, while the majority of private secondary
schools are single-sex.
State schools are almost all
day schools, holding classes between Mondays and Fridays. The school
year normally begins in early September and continues into the following
July. The year is divided into three terms of about 13 weeks each.
Two-thirds of state schools
are wholly owned and maintained by LEAs. The remainder are voluntary
schools, mostly belonging to the Church of England or the Roman Catholic
Church. They are also financed by LEAs.
Every state school has its
own governing body (a board of governors), consisting of teachers, parents,
local politicians, businessmen and members of the local community. Boards
of governors are responsible for their school’s main policies, including
the recruitment of the staff. A great role is played by the Parent Teacher
Association (PTA). Practically all parents are automatically members
of the PTA and are invited to take part in its many activities. Parental
involvement through the PTA and other links between parents and schools
is growing . The PTA forms both a special focus for parents and much
valued additional resources for the school. Schools place great value
on the PTA as a further means of listening to parents and developing
the partnership between home and school. A Parent’s Charter published
by the Government in 1991 is designed to enable parents to take more
informed decisions about their children’s education. Compulsory education
begins at the age of 5 in England, Wales and Scotland, and at the age
of 4 in Northern Ireland. All pupils must stay at school until the age
of 16. About 9 per cent of pupils in state schools remain at school
voluntarily until the age of 18.
