The Educational System in England
The educational system in England is very
complicated. It embraces two educational purposes: first it gives a general
education to all children, and second, it selects the most able and gives them
a more advanced education.
In most schools boys and girls
learn together. In the first stage, which is called primary education, all
children are educated according to the same programme. As they grow older,
differences in ability and attainment become very marked, so it is considered
necessary to offer different programmes.
There are three stages of
education: primary, or elementary, education, secondary education and further
(higher) education.
Primary education (from 5
years of age to 11 years of age). A primary school is subdivided into an infant
school for children aged 5 to 7 and a junior school for children aged 7 to 11. In small country places
both the infant department and the junior department may be combined under the
roof of one school.
Secondary education (from 11 years of age to 16 years of age). Until
recently, there were three main types of secondary schools: grammar schools,
technical schools and modern schools. Children were sent to one of these three
types of schools according to their
abilities. These three types of schools still
exist, but their number is decreasing. They are being replaced by the so-called
comprehensive schools. The comprehensive schools are the most modern
development in secondary schools. The main advantages of the comprehensive schools
are that these schools are open to children of all types of ability from the age
of 11; they are large schools which give a much wider range of subjects than
smaller schools, so that teenagers can choose a course of studies according to
their individual inclinations and abilities.
The comprehensive school gives the following range
of subjects, from which children can choose: English, French, German, Latin,
history, geography, art, music, woodwork, metalwork, needlework, commercial
subjects, mathematics, general science, religious instruction, physical
education.
