Britain attaches importance to education. In Britain, there are not only the most famous and oldest schools, colleges and universities in the world, but also many new and innovative institutions. Education is an eternal topic that people discuss ... Education is not only a question that teachers ponder repeatedly, but also a matter that parents and students pay more attention to. Education stipulates that in Britain, everyone must receive compulsory education between the ages of five and sixteen. This is the shortest time for students to go to school. Nowadays, more and more children go to kindergarten at the age of three or four, and the number of teenagers who have reached the age of sixteen to continue their studies is also increasing year by year. In order to meet people's learning needs, the number of educational institutions has increased dramatically. Four regions in Britain, namely England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, welcome foreign students. The educational structure of these four regions is basically the same as the types of institutions, but the educational system in Scotland is quite different from other regions in some aspects. Public and private schools welcome foreign students. Britain welcomes foreign students over the age of seven to board at school. Some parents of foreign students are willing to let their children receive strict education in preparatory schools. Children in private preparatory schools can take part in sports and social activities as soon as possible by boarding and transfer to private middle schools at the age of thirteen. Most foreign students start studying in Britain at this age. Private schools Some private middle schools are also called "public schools". This name is misleading. Because these schools are not public, but private schools that enroll students at their own expense. These schools were called public schools when they were established centuries ago, and they have been in use ever since. The Federation of Certified and Registered Private Schools is the unified organization of private schools, and its members include: the Federation of Girls' Schools, the Conference of Principals, the Federation of Preparatory Schools, the Federation of Private Schools and the Federation of Private School Principals. In order to be certified by the private school association, the school must prove that it meets the strict standards set by the association in academic, consulting, financial and administrative aspects. However, some excellent private schools did not join the association for various reasons. All private schools with more than 5 students 16 years old must be registered with the Ministry of Education and Employment, British inspectors will inspect the schools, and boarding schools will be supervised and managed by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Students who have reached the age of thirteen usually need to pass the unified entrance examination to enter private secondary schools. Some schools enroll students aged 1 1 so that they can connect with the British public education system. The content of the examination is unified by all schools, and the examination papers are audited by the schools where students apply. Some schools don't take exams at all, and most schools currently think that the unified entrance examination is not suitable for foreign students from countries with different education systems. The school is willing to provide suggestions on how to adapt the admission procedure to the specific problems of foreign students. Foreign students are often over 13 years old when they enter school-for example, taking advanced courses in the general certificate of secondary education examination in order to prepare for entering the British college of continuing education or higher education-and most schools enroll freshmen of any age. Boarding schools Many private schools have accommodation facilities for students to stay in school during their studies. Now more and more students usually live in school and go home every weekend. But many foreign students have to stay in school all semester, and weekends are no exception. About100000 students aged 7 to 18 are boarders, including most of the10.7000 foreign students studying in British private schools. Recently, a survey conducted by the information service office of private schools shows that more than three quarters of boarders like to live on campus. Living on campus gives students the opportunity to get to know their teachers better and participate more in clubs, troupes and sports activities. Boarding schools take great pains to take care of and coach students. The school should arrange qualified nurses to be on duty and have experience in receiving foreign students at airports and railway stations. The school also insists that foreign students should have a guardian to take care of them in Britain and in case of emergency. If foreign students have no relatives or friends in Britain, private school information services can find suitable guardians for them. The British school system has a dual track system: public schools provide free education. Private schools are generally funded by parents. In Britain, about one in thirteen school-age children goes to private schools (the exact ratio is 7%). Foreign students under sixteen usually attend private schools. There are two in Britain.

There are 400 private schools, most of which are prestigious old schools. Britain has formulated a national syllabus-which sets the minimum requirements that children should meet at each learning stage. Public schools must obey the requirements of the syllabus, while private schools are not subject to this restriction. However, most private schools still teach the contents required by the national syllabus in actual teaching. /kloc-public education schools before the age of 0/6 generally do not accept foreign students under the age of 0/6, so this section mainly introduces private schools. . Many children aged three or four enter kindergartens at the age of three or four, or receive education in preschool kindergarten classes. . Children at the age of five usually enter preschool at the age of five. Children in public schools are promoted from preschool to 7-year-old junior high school. According to the public school system, kindergartens and lower grades are usually merged into one school (called primary school) for children aged five to eleven. . Students who enter private schools generally enter preparatory schools at the age of seven. If you are an international student, you may need to "board" in a preparatory school, that is, eat, live, live and study at school. Compared with the students' previous experience, boarding is a more interesting experience. In fact, some preparatory schools are considering changing their names to "boarding schools" to reflect the interesting boarding life of students. The expenses of studying in preparatory schools generally include tuition, accommodation, meals, stationery, textbooks, basic equipment for sports and music, and the cost of students calling home. You can also pay a small amount of personal accident insurance. School uniforms and sportswear are also purchased by parents. Examination All students must be at least 16 years old to take the examination in secondary schools and obtain a general secondary education certificate, while in Scotland, they are Scottish education certificates and standard grade certificates. It takes about two years to prepare for the above exams. Most students study five to ten courses. /kloc-the education law after the age of 0/6 stipulates that students who have reached the age of 16 can leave school and start working. This is an important crossroads that determines students' future. Do you want to pursue further studies in a university or a branch university? If so, you need to take more exams. Have you decided what to do? If so, you need to attend vocational training courses to obtain the qualifications you need. You can stay at your old school. Most schools have pre-university classes, and students can continue their studies in a familiar environment. You can transfer to a pre-university school. Because the courses at this level are divided into majors, your original school may not have the major you want to study, but another school has already offered courses in this major. You can go to a British-funded preparatory college or a junior college (usually called a continuing education college). These colleges are generally large in scale, so they can offer a variety of professional courses. You can go to a private preparatory college. These colleges are smaller than public colleges. To some extent, your choice depends on which school can offer the courses you want to study. Continuing education Continuing education refers to the education and training that students receive after leaving school at the age of sixteen, which is abbreviated as FE in English. More than 600 colleges across the UK offer continuing education courses. British students should take the GCSE exam at the age of 16 to decide what kind of study or training they want to continue. Some students: stay in the original school to continue their studies, enter colleges and universities, leave full-time education and receive on-the-job training. About 40% of secondary school graduates enter public or private continuing education colleges. However, the College of Continuing Education does not only recruit middle school graduates. These colleges also provide education and training services for the whole community, and provide courses for staff who want to continue their training, adults who want to change jobs or go back to school, and those who want to learn new majors or technologies to enrich themselves. Britain * * * is responsible for providing most continuing education courses. * * * A supervision system has been established to ensure the teaching quality of continuing education. Some private schools also offer education courses after the age of 16, most of which are advanced courses covering various majors, or specially designed preparatory courses linked with higher education. Private colleges do not insist on compulsory certification, but they can apply to the British Committee for Accreditation of Private Continuing Education and Higher Education, or they can apply to the Private Continuing Education Association for membership. If a college is accredited by the British Council for Accreditation of Private Continuing Education and Higher Education, you can rest assured that the college has reached the standard in terms of education quality, teaching equipment, school buildings, counseling and nursing, management and so on. Universities and institutions of higher learning are divided into the following two categories: universities have the right to award degrees at all levels. In university branches, a few can confer degrees by themselves, and most need to confer degrees through their own universities. 2006-11-/kloc-0 23: 06: 56 supplement: the entrance requirements for advanced level courses and supplementary advanced level courses of general secondary education certificate examination are still in the majority at present.
