Презентация.  Слайд 1. Good morning, dear students! Today we are going to talk about secondary education in Britain.

Слайд 2. England has a very interesting system of education. Education is class divided in England. There are state and public (private) schools. About 93% of children go to the state schools and other go to the public (private) schools. All state schools in Britain are free. Some parents choose private schools for their children. They are very expensive, considered to provide a better education and good job opportunities. Parents pay for these schools. There are 3 stages of education.

Слайд 3.  Primary education consists of infant schools and junior schools. Primary education lasts for 6 years. At first they attend the infant school from 5 to 7, and then junior school until they are 11. In infant school children don’t have real classes. They study to write and read; they mostly play and learn throw playing. They know some numbers. When children are 7, real studying begins. They have classes and don’t play as much as it was in infant school. Then begins the secondary education.
