EDUCATION IN THE UK
A.: Hi, Andrew! Aren’t you in a hurry? Let’s revise the material for the English 
classes.
B.: Hi, Danil! With pleasure. As far as I remember, we are to get information 
about the educational system in the UK.
A.: You are absolutely right. First of all, we should remember that the system 
of education in Britain is divided into three stages: primary, secondary, 
and further education.
B.: And don’t forget that there are state and private schools in the UK.
A.: But about 93 per cent of British children go to state-assisted schools. As far 
as I know, both primary and secondary education between the ages of 5 
and 16 is compulsory in Britain.
B.: Yes, I agree with you. And at the age of 15 or 16 pupils take an examina-
tion called the General Certificate of Secondary Education, abbreviated 
GCSE.

47
A.: Most pupils who stay at school beyond the age of 16 prepare for the Gen-
eral Certificate of Education examination at Advanced level (‘A’ level). 
It is abbreviated GCE. Well, and what about higher education?
B.: I know exactly that British universities are not part of the public system 
of education.
A.: Right! They are independent corporations, but they are mainly supported 
by public funds.
B.: And have you heard about the Open University?
A.: Yes, it is unique in providing distant education for students working 
at home. They are supported by online materials and communicate with 
their tutors via the Internet or phone.
B.: Oh, you know so much about it.
A.: Thanks for your assistance.
B.: It was no trouble at all.
