infant school which is the first stage of primary education. From 7 to 11 they attend junior schools, the second stage of primary education. In primary school children are taught the so-called 3’Rs: reading, writing and arithmetic.

secondary school. There are three types of state secondary schools in Britain. They are grammar schools (for the most intelligent children), modern schools ( for the less intelligent children) and comprehensive schools ( for children of all abilities). Grammar schools lead towards higher education, and the others give general or vocational education to prepare students for employment or for further technical education. The regular secondary schools offer 7 years of schooling, with students from 11 to 18 years of age. The last two years (16-18) may be spent in a separate sixth form college, which concentrates on career training.

GCSE ( General Certificate of Secondary Education ) exams.
Those who get good GCSE grades can stay at their school for another two years, if it has a sixth form and teaches the desired subjects, and then take “A” level ( Advanced Level ) exams. Otherwise they have to leave their school and go to a sixth-form college or college of further education. Further education colleges have strong ties with commerce and industry and offer courses in engineering, cooking or hairdressing.
The GCSE Advanced (A) level is normally taken after a further two years of study. Good “A” level results in at least 2 subjects are necessary to get a place at a university. Universities choose their students after interviews. There are about 100 universities in Britain. The most famous of them are Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

England. Both of these
universities are very beautiful. Some of their colleges, chapels and libraries are three, four and even five hundred years old, and are full of valuable books and precious paintings.
Oxford is famous for its first-class education as well as its beautiful buildings. Many students want to study there. It is not easy to get a place at Oxford University to study for a degree. But outside the university there are many smaller private colleges which offer less difficult courses and where it is easy to enrol.
