voluntary and many of the existing schools had been set up by churches
*only 40% of children aged 10 went to school regularly

Слайд 6

Слайд 8

③the Education Reform Act 1988 provided for the establishment of

a National Curriculum for 5-16 year-olds and regular examinations

(reintroduced competition between schools)

Слайд 9

National Curriculum
The national curriculum occupies not less than 70% of the

school timetable, the rest of the time being used for subjects of the school’s choosing.
There are four key Stages. At each of the stages the core subjects of English, mathematics, science, technology, physical education and religious education are taught.
History, geography, music and art are also compulsory subjects up to 16 years old, but they become optional in Key Stage 4.
A modern foreign language is added to the
curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4.

Слайд 36

The Selective System
A system for secondary schooling in Britain, under which

children take an examination, the “11 plus”, in their last year of primary education.
The results of the examination determine the kind of secondary schooling each child will receive.
Those with the highest marks go to grammar schools; others may go to technical schools, and the rest – by far majority – go to secondary modern schools.

Слайд 37

The Comprehensive System
A system for secondary schooling in Britain, under which

all children, regardless of ability, can mix together.
In comprehensive schools, students study a wide variety of subjects at first until 2 or 3 years later, when they may study only those they like best.
Many new ideas in education are being tried out at present, and comprehensive schools vary widely throughout Britain.

Слайд 38

Independent Schools
Public schools: secondary private boarding schools that prepare students chiefly

for universities. They laid the foundations of English education, but now are generally restricted to a comparatively small section of the population, mainly the rich and conservative in politics. Eton, Harrow and Rugby are the 3 most famous public schools.

Слайд 39

Independent Schools
Prep schools: small private boarding schools for children up to

7 or 8 years old, which help to prepare the children for the “common entrance” examination at the age of 13 for admission to a public school, and where Latin, French and mathematics are all started early.

Слайд 40

Other Schools
County schools: state-run secondary schools, most of which are administered

by the county or county borough. About half of the money comes from the local authority and the other half from the central government.
Voluntary schools: also called mission schools in other countries, secondary schools in Britain that are mostly Church of England or Roman Catholic in origin, and partly maintained and controlled by the local authority. They give a certain amount of denominational religious instruction. Education is free in such schools.

Слайд 41

“Red Brick”
“Red brick”:The Redbrick Universities include all the provincial universities of

the period 1850-1930 as well as London University. Because the favorite building material of the period between 1850-1930 is red brick, and all the universities of the time were built in red brick. Thus, they were called the Redbrick Universities.

Слайд 42

“Red brick”: a slightly contemptuous term used to refer to the

large group of 19th- and 20th-century universities and university colleges in Britain. It describes their construction, which is contrasted with the more dignified and solid-looking ancient architecture of Oxford and Cambridge. The distinctive feature of these universities was that they were non-collegiate institutions which admitted men without reference to religion or background and that they concentrated on 'real-world' skills, often linked to engineering.
