The System of education in the UK
The school system in the UK can proudly call itself one of the most complicated in Europe.
Education in Great Britain is compulsory and free for all children between the ages of 5-16.
Schooling is voluntary under the age of 5. Most children start school at 5 in a primary school. A primary school is divided into two parts- infant and junior. They go to Infant school for two years. At Infant school reading, writing and arithmetic are taught for about 20 minutes a day during the first year, gradually increasing to about 2 hours in their last year. There is usually no written timetable. Much time is spent in modeling from clay or drawing, reading or singing.
At the age of 7 children go to junior school. This marks the transition from play to “real work”. The children have set periods of arithmetic, reading and composition which are Eleven Plus subjects. History, Geography, Nature Study, Art, Music and PE are also in the timetable. So, they get their Primary education during 6 years. At the age of 11 they take so called 11+ exam.
It is an exam in English and arithmetic. It also includes intelligence testing.
After the age of 11 most children go to comprehensive schools. “Comprehensive” means all- inclusive. They admit pupils of all abilities without any 11+ examinations and combine all types of education under one roof. Comprehensive schools were introduced in 1965.The idea was to give all children of whatever background the same opportunity in education.
Secondary schools are subdivided into grammar, technical and modern schools. Grammar schools provided academic education, technical schools offered technical or vocational courses and at modern school one could learn a trade. The pupils have to pass an exam to go there; so admission depends on the result of the selective exams and the pupils’ abilities.
It is difficult to imagine the system of education in Great Britain without private schools (They are called public schools).Boys and girls don’t study together at these schools. Most of them are single-sex. Public education is a privilege of the upper classes. The fees are high and only very rich families can afford to pay so much. Public schools are free from state control. They are independent. Most of them are boarding schools. The education is of a high quality; the discipline is strict. The teachers pay personal attention to each pupil. It is possible to enter the best English universities after leaving public schools. The most famous public schools are Eton, Harrow, Rugby and Winchester.
The school year is divided into terms, three months each, named after seasons: autumn term, winter term and spring term. The autumn term starts on the first Tuesday morning in September. In July schools break up for eight weeks. Life at school is more or less similar everywhere. Each group of 30 pupils is responsibility of a form tutor. Each school day is divided into periods of 40-50 minutes, time for various lessons with 10-20 minutes’ breaks between them. Most of the pupils’ time is spent in a classroom. There are also laboratories for Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Technical rooms are for Woodwork, Metalwork, Technical Drawing. There are rooms for computer studies. Every school has an assembly hall, a library, a school canteen and a gym. The playground is usually in front of the school building. The staff common room is for teachers. In case of illness a pupil may go to the sick room.
England and Wales have a national curriculum (Scotland has its own) and pupils have to study core subjects like Maths, English, Science, a modern foreign language, History, Geography, Music, Art, Physical Education. At fourteen, students can study optional subjects. At 16, pupils specialize and choose three or four subjects.
Pupils at many secondary schools in Britain have to wear a school uniform. This usually means a white blouse for girls (perhaps with a tie), with a dark -coloured skirt and pullover. Boys wear a shirt and a tie, dark trousers and dark-coloured pullovers. Pupils also wear blazers- a kind of jacket- with the school badge on the pocket. Shoes are usually black or brown. And no heels. Pupils can be punished if they don’t wear the correct uniform. Senior students don’t have to wear their school uniform.
The pupils who violate various school regulations may be punished for lateness and truancy. They may be reported to the Headmaster or named in school assembly. They may be detained in school after ordinary hours.
Children go to a secondary school from 11 till 16 years old. At the age of 16 students take GCSE examinations. They are taken by students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects and may involve a final examination, and assessment of work done by the student during the two- year course.
Some students stay at school until the age of 18, preparing themselves for higher education and they continue to study in the sixth form. Some comprehensive schools, however, do not have enough academic courses for sixth-formers. Students can transfer either to a grammar school or to a sixth-form college to get the courses they want.
At 18 some students take A-level (Advanced Level) examinations, usually in two or three subjects. It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university. Universities accept students mainly on the basis of their “A” level results. Graduates of a university get the Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. The most famous British universities are Oxford and Cambridge called “Oxbridge.”(слайд№5)
4. As you can see, the text is rather complicated. It contains a lot of facts. Let’s discuss the text. Are there any questions about the text. What information was new for you? Let's use the mind map to sum up all the facts. I remind you what it is.
Mind map- is a special scheme that shows the way of our thoughts. It is a structure of our thinking. It will help us to summarize and analyze all the information. The main idea is placed in the center of the scheme. You can use different pictures and signs to illustrate your ideas. The branches of your mind map will be of different colours.
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.
A mind map is often created around a single word or text, placed in the center, to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added. (Слайд №6, 7)

5. Let’s try to compare the system of education in Russia and in Great Britain. Find similarities and differences between them. Explain their advantages and disadvantages. Our mind map will help us.
Discussion.
Education in Russia may be arranged into three main groups: secondary education, higher education and postgraduate education. School begins at the age of 7. There are different types of schools in Russia. Most pupils go to state secondary schools. But you can also study at a lyceum or gymnasium, specializing in foreign languages, mathematics or biology. But you have to pass exams to go there. Secondary education in Russia usually takes eleven years to complete. After graduation 9th form, which is compulsory, pupils take exams in four subjects and obtain a Certificate of Incomplete Secondary Education. After that a pupil can either continue education for two more years at the secondary school or go to a college.
Russian pupils have to take The State Exams in Russian and Maths to obtain a Certificate of Complete Secondary Education. If you want to enter a university you have to take The State Exam in some extra subjects. It depends on the faculty you have chosen. It can be English, Biology, History and other subjects. Universities accept students on the basis of the results of The State Exams.
As you can see there are a lot of similarities in both educational systems. What would you like to improve? Where would you like to study?(слайд№8)
6. The next task is to make your own cinquains about schools. If you forget what it is, I’ll remind you. It is a kind of poem consisting of 5 lines (this word has a French origin; cinq means five in French). The first line is a general word, the second line consists of two adjectives which describe this country, the third line includes 3 verbs on the topic, the fourth line is the main idea of your “poem” (It must consist of 3-4 words) and the last line is a synonym of the general world (school). And now it’s time to start.
Стадия рефлексии (Reflection)
Make up as many cinquains as you can. All your cinquains will be different. Read aloud your cinquains, when you are ready. You can work in pairs or individually.(слайд№9)

7. Now it’s time to use your imagination and create the school of your dream. You can work in groups, in pairs or individually. But before we start, look at the tree of knowledge. There are a lot of apples in it. They are questions that will help you. Choose some of them and get down to work. Describe your ideal life at school.(слайд№10)
