Britain is a country with a long tradition of education. After hundreds of years of evolution, its education system is quite perfect and complex, with great flexibility. Generally speaking, it is divided into three stages: compulsory education, continuing education and higher education.
The differences between Chinese and English education systems make it impossible for students of the two countries to have a one-to-one correspondence in age and academic level. Therefore, when considering studying in the UK, China students must fully understand the differences between the two education systems and accurately judge their current education level in the UK education system. Only in this way can we choose suitable courses and arrange reasonable study plans according to our own characteristics.

Britain is a country with strong tradition of elite education. Around the 1960s, the unbalanced development of education in Britain was still a serious social problem, which was mainly reflected in schools, disadvantaged groups and students' individual academic achievements.
In recent years, the British government has launched a series of educational reform measures, and made remarkable progress in achieving educational equity nationwide. The core spirit of the balanced development of education in Britain is that "every child is important", which was established by the British government in the Green Paper on Education published in 2003-"Every child is important: change for children".
"Every child is important" emphasizes that every child is our hope and future, and every child should be cherished and cared for. The government should establish a comprehensive service framework covering education, health and social services for all children, and strive to narrow the development gap among children with the goal of fully developing and realizing the potential of each child.
There are a large number of schools in Britain, and the government has been committed to expanding educational choices. In Britain, schools are generally divided into private schools and public schools. Public schools are free, and 93% of children attend them. British public primary schools generally take the primary school site as a point and draw a circle with a diameter of several miles on the map. The scope of the circle is the so-called "subordinate area".
All children in this area can be guaranteed to attend this primary school. The Education Bureau of the local government will arrange children to go to school according to the principle of going to school nearby. Schools are small, so there are many. For example, in a small town of Wokingham, there are more than 40 primary schools so that every child can go to school at home.
