  34. From the history of British education …

  35. Before 1870 education was voluntary and many of the existing schools had been set up by churches. • Only 2% of children under 14 and 40% of those aged 10 went to school regularly. • From 1870, in response to changes brought about by the industrial revolution and movements for social and political reform, the government started to take responsibility for education

  36. From the history of British edu… • A “tripartite” system of secondary modern, technical and grammar schools selected 11 year-old children at the end of their primary education by means of an exam. The top 20% attended grammar schools. Secondary modern and technical schools dealt with more practical subjects. Pupils from them were expected to become manual workers andskilled workers respectively, while those who attended grammar schools were more likely to go on to university and become professionals and managers.

  37. In the 1950s some people were dissatisfied with the tripartite system. • Comprehensive schools were introduced in the 1960s with the idea that pupils should not be selected and streamed at such an early age. In 1993 90% of pupils attend such schools; the other 10% attend some remaining grammar or private schools.

  39. The Education Systemin the UK

  40. Primary School in GB • Most primary schools are co-educational (boys and girls are taught together), usually with a class teacher system • Children used to be selected for secondary education by means of an examination --the ‘eleven plus’.

  41. Primary School Subjects • One teacher teaches: • Art • Analysis • Drama • English • Geography • History • Mathematics • Scottish Gaelic (in Scotland)

  42. Secondary School • Compulsory education extends up to 16 years. Students are often streamed into different ability groups. Some think this undermines the principles of comprehensive education.

  43. Secondary School Subjects • Mathematics • Science • Technology and design • Information Technology • English • Modern Languages (French, German, Spanish) • Geography • History • Social Education • Religion • Cooking • Music • Physical education • Greek and Latin (at grammar and independent schools)

  44. Secondary School • The main examination that all students should take at 16 is the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). Some students continue in the same school for a further 2 years of study leading to the examination of the General Certificate of Education, Advanced level (GCE A level). Usually 3 or 4 academic subjects are studied and 1 general studies paper. This is the main examination required for university entrance.

  45. Universities and Colleges of Higher Education in GB • Altogether, there are now 44 universities in the United Kingdom: 33 in England, 8 in Scotland, 2 in Northern Ireland and 1, a federation of 7 colleges, in Wales.

  46. Universities and Colleges of Higher Education in GB • The old universities refer to those founded before 1600. Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest ones, dating from 1249 and 1284. Until the 19th century, they were the only 2 universities in England

  47. Universities and Colleges of Higher Education in GB • Degrees: BA (Bachelor of Arts) or BSc (Bachelor of Science); MA (Master of Arts) or MSc (Master of Science); Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy).

  48. “Eleven plus” • The system of secondary education in Britain has been changed in recent years. Under the old system, children took an examination called the “eleven plus” at the age of 11. If they passed this examination, they went to a grammar school (high school) and if they failed, they went to a secondary modern school.

  49. Under the new system, there is no examination at the age of eleven, and the grammar schools and secondary modern schools have been replaced by large comprehensive schools. Some comprehensives are “streamed”; others are “unstreamed”. In a streamed school, pupils are placed into classes according to their ability. Children of high ability are in the “A” stream, those of lesser ability in the “B” stream and so on. In an unstreamed school, children of mixed ability are placed together in the classes.
