When we speak of the UK Educational System, the four constituent countries have similar system. In terms of structure, they have pre-higher education system and higher education system.
The pre-higher education is the compulsory education. This starts with 5 year old to 16 year old. Under pre-higher education are the primary education, which is a 6 year education program-from age 5 to 11, and the comprehensive school, which is from ages 11 to 16. The primary education is divided into two: the Basic First Stage – a two year education program for age 5 to 7 – and the Basic Second Stage – a four year education program for age 7 to 11. They also have secondary education – for age 11 to 16 – which has three types of school: the Secondary Modern, Grammar School and City Technology College. Then, they have the Sixth Form forage 16 to 18.
UK’s classes are on September to July. The language of instruction is, of course, English.
Talking about the university levels, they have the first stage – Undergraduate Stage, the second stage – Master’s Degree or Master of Philosophy, and the third stage – Doctor of Philosophy or Higher Doctorate.
They, too, have Open Universities, which offers distance higher education.
UK education has given importance on Physical Education. This is evident because many famous athletes came from UK.
The UK Education System seemed to be different. They divided the primary education into different stage and so with the secondary education that they have different types.
Whatever the curriculum is, the bottom line is always the implementation.
