Today I'll talk about the British educational system,
including the primary and secondary education and the higher education in Britain.
Meanwhile, I'll try to make a comparison between the US and the UK higher education.
First, I'll briefly introduce the primary and secondary education in Britain.
In England and Wales, students study in primary schools from age five until eleven.
They attend secondary school until age 16.
Before graduating, students usually take seven comprehensive exams,
called the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams.
After passing the GCSE exams,
students choose to study two to four subjects intensely for the GCE Advanced Level exams,
called "A levels."
At 18, they enter higher education to focus on a particular subject, called a "course."
Now let's move on to the higher education in Britain.
First I'll talk about the general practices in England and Wales,and then the general practices in Scotland.
今天我們來談?wù)動逃贫?,包括小學和初中還有英國的高等教育。
同時,我還要做一個美國和英語高等教育的對比。
首先,我要簡單介紹一下英語的小學和初中教育。在英國和威爾士,學生從5歲到11歲在小學學習。知道16歲才會上初中。在畢業(yè)之前學生一般會參加7個綜合性考試,叫做GCSE,叫做初等教育資格證。在通過GCSE考試之后,學生要選擇2到4個學科為GCE高級水平考試做集中深入學習。叫做”A Level“。在18歲,他們將講集中專注一個學科,成為課程。
現(xiàn)在我們來看英國的高等教育制度,首先我們來看看在英國和威爾士的一些一般常識,然后再來看蘇格蘭的。
