Schools in Great
Britain.
In Great Britain children
begin to go to school at the age of five. First they study at
infant schools. In these schools they learn to draw with coloured
pencils and paints. They also make figures out of plasticine and
work with paper and glue. They play much because they are very
young. Later they begin to learn letters and read, write and
count.
At the age of seven English
schoolchildren go to junior schools. They do many subjects: English
and Maths, History and Music, Natural History and Drawing,
Handicrafts, French and
Latin.
They do not go to school as
early as we do, but they stay there longer. The first lesson
usually starts at 9 o’clock. There are 3 lessons with short breaks
of 10 minutes between them and then an hour break for lunch. After
lunch they have two more lessons which are over by half past
three.
If you have a look at an
English pupil’s school record, you will see that the marks in it
differ from the marks we have. Our schoolchildren get marks from 1
to 5 (12). At English school there are marks from 1 up to 10 and at
some schools from 1 up to
100.
Junior school ends at the age
of 11 when pupils take the Eleven Plus examination and then
secondary school begins. At the age of 16 schoolchildren take their
exams. Only 45 per cent continue with fulltime education after 16.
The rest go to work or join employment training
schemes.
