Summary диалога 'Education in the UK' (Решение)

Ниже представлено краткое изложение (Summary) диалога об образовании в Великобритании, которое удобно переписать в тетрадь. Summary of the dialogue "Education in the UK" The dialogue provides an overview of the British educational system. It is divided into three main stages: primary, secondary, and further education. Education is compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 16. There are two types of schools in the UK: state and private. However, the vast majority of pupils (about 93 percent) attend state-assisted schools. At the age of 15 or 16, students take the GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams. Those who continue their studies after 16 prepare for the GCE 'A' level exams. Regarding higher education, British universities are independent corporations, though they receive public funding. A notable part of the system is the Open University, which offers distance learning for students who study at home using online materials and communicating with tutors via the Internet.
