D.: Hi, Andrew! Are you in a hurry? Let’s revise the material for the English classes.
A.: Hi, Danil! With pleasure. As far as I remember we are to get information about the educational system in the UK.
D.: You are absolutely right. First of all, we should memorize that the system of education in Britain is divided into three stages: primary, secondary and further education.
A.: And don’t forget that there are state and private schools in the UK.
D.: Good for you. But, you see, 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.
A.: Yes, I agree with you. And at the age of 15 or 16 pupils take an examination called the General Certificate of Secondary Education, abbreviated GCSE …
D.: Sorry for interrupting you I want to add, that most pupils, who stay in school beyond the age 16, prepare for the General Certificate of Education examination at Advanced level, A level. It is abbreviated GCE. Well, and what about higher education?
A.: I know exactly, that British universities are not part of the public system of education.
D.: Right! They are independent corporations, but they are mainly supported by public funds.
A.: And have you heard about the Open University?
D.: Yes, it is unique in providing degree courses by correspondence for students working in their own homes. They are supported by books and broadcasts.
A.: Oh, you know so much about it.
D.: Thanks for your assistance.
A.: It was no trouble at all.
