Education in England

Education in England
The education system is divided into early years (ages 3–4), primary education (ages 4–11), secondary education (ages 11–18) and tertiary education (ages 18+). Higher education often begins with a three-year bachelor's degree. Postgraduate degrees include master's degrees, either taught or by research, and the doctorate, a research degree that usually takes at least three years. History of English education[edit] Until 1870 all schools were charitable or private institutions, but in that year the Elementary Education Act 1870 permitted local governments to complement the existing elementary schools, to fill up any gaps. Education to the age of 18[edit] State-funded schools[edit] St Barnabas Church of England Primary School, Oxford Since 1998, there have been six main types of maintained school in England:[16][17][18] In addition, 3 of the 15 City Technology Colleges established in the 1980s still remain, the rest having converted to academies. Independent schools[edit] Higher education[edit]

Education in Australia Adults employed in the education and training industry as a percentage of the adult population in Australia divided geographically by statistical local area, as of the 2011 census Education in Australia is primarily the responsibility of the states and territories. Each state or territory government provides funding and regulates the public and private schools within its governing area. The federal government helps fund the public universities, but was not involved in setting university curriculum.[8] As of 2012, the Australian National Curriculum,[9] under development and trial for several years, has already been adopted by some schools and will become mandatory soon. Generally, education in Australia follows the three-tier model which includes primary education (primary schools), followed by secondary education (secondary schools/high schools) and tertiary education (Universities, TAFE colleges and Vocation Education and Training providers (VET providers)). Pre-school[edit] School[edit]

Further education Further education (often abbreviated FE) in the United Kingdom and Ireland, not dissimilar to continuing education in the United States, is a term used to refer to post-compulsory education (in addition to that received at secondary school), that is distinct from the higher education offered in universities. It may be at any level above compulsory secondary education, from basic skills training to higher vocational qualifications such as PGCE, NVQ, City and Guilds, BTEC, HNC, HND or Foundation Degree. A distinction is usually made between FE and higher education HE, an education at a higher level than secondary school, usually provided in distinct institutions such as universities. FE in the United Kingdom is usually a means to attain an intermediate or follow up qualification necessary to attend university, or begin a specific career path, e.g. Further education by country[edit] Australia[edit] United Kingdom[edit] England[edit] Northern Ireland[edit] Scotland[edit] Wales[edit] Ireland[edit]

Education in the United States Private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum and staffing policies, with voluntary accreditation available through independent regional accreditation authorities. 88% of school-age children attend public schools, 9% attend private schools, and nearly 3% are homeschooled.[5] There are also a large number and wide variety of publicly and privately administered institutions of higher education throughout the country. Post-secondary education, divided into college, as the first tertiary degree, and graduate school, is described in a separate section below. History[edit] In 1823, Reverend Samuel Read Hall founded the first normal school, the Columbian School in Concord, Vermont,[7][8] to improve the quality of the burgeoning common school system by producing more qualified teachers. Starting from about 1876, thirty-nine states (out of 50) passed a constitutional amendment to their state constitutions, called Blaine Amendments after James G. Statistics[edit]

Destination Data Students The Department for Education today published new data showing how many students progressed to further or higher education or training for each school, college and local authority in England. It is also the first time that the number and proportion of young people in a school, college and authority who attend Oxbridge or another Russell Group university is being published. The statistics - published as part of the Government’s transparency agenda - give parents and the public even greater information with which they can choose the right school or college for their child. In particular, today’s statistics, which relate to maintained schools, further education colleges and sixth form colleges, show what proportion and number of students were in: It is the latest step in the Department for Education’s pledge to open up a mass of previously unpublished statistics. Schools Minister Lord Hill said: He added: Headline statistics In the year after taking an A level or equivalent at Key Stage 5: Regions

Education in the United Kingdom Education in the United Kingdom is a devolved matter with each of the countries of the United Kingdom having separate systems under separate governments: the UK Government is responsible for England; the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive are responsible for Scotland,[1] Wales[2] and Northern Ireland, respectively. For details of education in each country, see: In each country there are five stages of education: early years, primary, secondary, Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE).[3] Education is compulsory for all children between the ages of 5 (4 in Northern Ireland) and 16;[3] before this children can be educated at nursery.[4] FE is non-compulsory, and covers non-advanced education which can be taken at further (including tertiary) education colleges and HE institutions (HEIs).

Blog-Artikel: Schools in Britain There are several kinds of schools in Britain to choose from. Parents can either send their children to state schools, which are cheaper but they do not offer as high level of education as private sector or spend little fortunes on their little scholars sending them to some private, boarding schools, looking like more of mansions than school buildings. But no matter where the children educate, they follow the same pattern of schools they have to go through: preparatory school, senior school, 6th form or college, and finally polytechnics or university. All children in England start their education at 4 or 5, some even at 3 and go to preparatory school, to attend their lessons with year 1 group. The next kind of place where children are taught is senior school. However, those, who are more ambitious, go to 6th form or college. Finally, university or polytechnics education starts.

Education in Wales Education in Wales differs in certain respects from education elsewhere in the United Kingdom. For example, a significant minority of students all over Wales are educated either wholly or largely through the medium of Welsh: in 2008/09, 22 per cent of classes in maintained primary schools used Welsh as the sole or main medium of instruction.[2] Welsh medium education is available to all age groups through nurseries, schools, colleges and universities and in adult education; lessons in the language itself are compulsory for all pupils until the age of 16. Since devolution, education policy in the four constituent countries of the UK has diverged: for example, England has pursued reforms based on diversity of school types and parental choice; Wales (and Scotland) remain more committed to the concept of the community-based comprehensive school.

Studieren in England | Studium und Universität in England Im Vereinigten Königreich müssen jährlich Gebühren gezahlt werden. Die Höhe der Gebühren (Tuition Fees) hängt davon ab, ob es sich um Home Students, d. h. Briten bzw. Staatsangehörige aus EU-Ländern, oder Overseas Students/International Students, sonstige ausländische Studierende, handelt. Seit Dezember 2010 dürfen Hochschulen in England und Wales Studiengebühren bis maximal £ 9000 pro Jahr erheben. Dies stellt eine Verdreifachung der Gebühren dar, die 2006 beschlossen wurden. Anders sieht es in Schottland aus: Zwar wurden in England und Wales die Studiengebühren gerade angehoben, davon merken die Studierenden in Schottland allerdings nichts. Nach der Graduierung wird eine Zahlung gefordert von derzeit 2.200 £, die aber über das gesamte Studium betrachtet sehr wenig ist. Neben den Tuition Fees können zusätzliche, „anerkannte“ Gebühren für bestimmte Zwecke erhoben werden, oft auch College Fees genannt.

Education in Scotland Traditionally, the Scottish system at secondary school level has emphasised breadth across a range of subjects, while the English, Welsh and Northern Irish systems have emphasised greater depth of education over a smaller range of subjects. State schools are owned and operated by the local authorities which act as Education Authorities, and the compulsory phase is divided into primary school and secondary school (often called high school). Schools are supported in delivering learning and teaching by Education Scotland (formerly Learning and Teaching Scotland). There are also private schools across the country, although the distribution is uneven with such schools in 22 of the 32 Local Authority areas. At September 2011 the total pupil population in Scotland was 702,104, of which 31,425 pupils, or 4.5%, were being educated in independent schools.[4] School years[edit] Children start primary school aged between 4½ and 5½ depending on when the child's birthday falls.

Britisches Bildungssystem: Hoffnungen zweiter Klasse Britisches Bildungssystem In den Problembezirken Großbritanniens sind Schulen oft schlecht ausgestattet, das soziale Umfeld schätzt Bildung nicht wert. Wer dort aufwächst, für den bleibt Oxford unerreicht. In einem Londoner Gemeindezentrum der Methodisten versammeln sich Jugendliche, um sich von den Krawallen zu distanzieren. LONDON taz | Ist das die perspektivlose Jugend Englands? Während Tottenham zur Normalität zurückkehrt und die Gerichte Londons mehr als tausend Jugendliche wegen der Krawalle angeklagt haben, beginnt in Großbritannien die Suche nach den Ursachen der sozialen Probleme. Tottenham ist unter den 5 Prozent der am meisten benachteiligten Viertel in England. Studiert zu haben ist in Tottenham keine Seltenheit. In Deutschland steht die Hauptschule in Verbindung mit sozialen Problemen. Selbst ein Uni-Abschluss ist nicht genug "Die kommen nicht auf die Topuniversitäten, denn deren Noten sind meistens einfach zu schlecht", sagt Matt Grist vom Thinktank Demos.
