British Education
[www.native-english.ru/topics/british-education]
British education helps to develop fully the abilities of individuals, for their own benefit and for society as a whole. Compulsory schooling takes place between the ages of 5 and 16, but some pupils remain at school for 2 years more, to prepare for further higher education. Post school education is organized to provide a wide range of opportunities for academic and vocational education and to continue studying throughout life.
Administration of state schools is decentralized. The department of education and science is responsible for national education policy, but it doesn't run any schools, it doesn't employ teachers, or prescribe curricula or textbooks. All schools are given a considerable amount of freedom. According to the law only one subject is compulsory.
