Secondary education in England for children under 16 is compulsory. All public and private schools teach children from 11 to 16 years old and prepare them for GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) - a general secondary education certificate, or GNVQ (General National Vocational Qualification) - a national certificate of professional qualification. Most foreign students enroll in British secondary schools (most often in private boarding schools) at the age of years. Formation of a creative, self-confident, independent person is one of the main tasks of the British school. Children undergo a special general cycle of training in various subjects, which ends with the passing of the Common Entrance Examination exam. Successful passing of such an exam is a prerequisite for admission to high school. From 14 to 16 years old schoolchildren purposefully prepare for exams (usually - in 7-9 subjects) for a certificate of secondary education - General Certificate of Secondary Education.
At the age of 16, after completing the compulsory education cycle, students can either leave school and start working, or continue their education in order to enter a university. Those wishing to enter the university are offered a two-year course A-levels. After the first year of study, the AS exams are taken, and after the second - A2-levels. The first year of study implies compulsory study of 4-5 subjects, the second 3-4. There are no compulsory subjects required for surrender - the student selects all the subjects for himself individually from 15–20 offered by the school, thereby determining his specialization, to which the next 3-5 years of university studies will be devoted. Most often, foreign students who come to study in the UK begin their education with A-levels.
fter completing a two-year A-levels course, students can receive either vocational or higher education. Further education (FE) includes vocational training courses and some courses for higher education (bachelor's degree). The term vocational education is used to denote courses for those who have left school at the age of 16. In the UK there are more than 600 public and private further education colleges. These schools offer a variety of study programs, including English language courses, preparation programs for general secondary education and A-levels, professional courses. Higher education (HE) includes bachelors degree programs, postgraduate programs (masters and doctoral degrees) and an MBA. The term higher education refers to studies at universities, colleges and institutes that offer a degree or doctoral degree.
Higher education is paid for both its citizens and foreigners. For the latter - more expensive. Students, citizens of the country can study in debt, which they begin to give only after receiving a diploma and employment with a minimum salary of 21 thousand pounds a year. If this does not happen, you do not need to return the debt. Recently in parliament more and more deputies are inclined to increase the cost of education. Such initiatives are unpopular with students.
