Education in Russia

Before children start going to school, many of them attend kindergarten until they are 6 or 7. Compulsory education in our country begins at the age of 7, when children go to primary school. This is the first stage of their schooling and lasts 3 or 4 years. The children learn to read, to write and to count. They also have Drawing, Music and Physical Training classes. Secondary stage begins from the 5th form where children have a lot of new subjects, such as Literature, History< Natural Science, Physics, Algebra and Geometry, a foreign language and others. Examinations are taken at the end of the 9th and the 11th year. After passing their school-leaving exams at the age of 16 or 17, young people receive a Certificate of Secondary Education. Some children may leave school after the 9th form and continue their education at vocational or technical secondary schools or colleges. Besides general regular schools there are other types of secondary schools in Russia: gymnasiums and lyceums, some of them are fee-paying.

Among higher educational institutions there are universities, institutes, academies, and schools of higher education, where the course of studies is normally 5 years. To enter a higher educational institution young people have to take entrance examinations.

Answer the questions:

1. At what age does compulsory education begin in Russia? 2. How long does primary education last? 3. What do children learn in primary school? 4. What subjects are studied at the secondary stage? 5. When do school-leavers receive a Certificate of Secondary Education? 6. What higher educational institutions are there in Russia?

Education in Great Britain

In Great Britain education is compulsory for all children from 5 to 16 years of age. Before 5 some children attend Nursery Schools, while most children start their basic education in an Infant School, which is the first stage of Primary Education. In Primary School children are taught the so-called 3R’s- reading, writing and arithmetic, as well as elementary science and information technology. They also have music, physical training and art classes. At the age of 11 children transfer to Comprehensive Schools. These schools give general education and a wide range of academic courses leading to the public examinations taken at 16. They also provide some vocational courses. Along with the state schools there are about 500 private schools in Britain. Most of these Independent or Public Schools charge fees and there are boarding schools, where the children actually live in the school. Any child may leave school at 16 when all children take the school- leaving examinations and get a certificate of secondary education. Those who want to continue their education at a University have to stay on at school for two more years and take another exam ( at advanced level). Advanced level examination is very important, because on the results of this examination the Universities and Polytechnics choose their students, as there are no entrance examinations. The leading universities in England are Oxford, Cambridge and London. Each University consists of a number of faculties: medicine, arts (philosophy), law, music, natural science, commerce and education. After 3 years of study, a student receives a Bachelor’s degree. Some may continue their studies for 2 or more years to get the degrees of Master and Doctor. Besides universities, there are other types of higher educational institutions: Polytechnics and Colleges of different kinds. Answer the questions:

1. At what age do all children start their basic education in Great Britain? 2. What subjects are taught in Primary School? 3. What is the difference between a state and a private school? 4. What is the first school-leaving age in Britain? 5. How do Universities and Polytechnics choose their students? 6. What are the most famous English Universities?

Education in the United States

Public education at all levels in the US is the responsibility of individual states. Education is provided to all children from the age of 5 to 18 in the public school system. After an optional year in kindergarten, children enter grade 1 at the age of 6. Education is compulsory until the age of 16. The usual plan for dividing schools is: 6years of elementary school, 3 years of junior high and 3 years of high school, but this plan may be different in different states. Those who complete the full high school programme receive a high school diploma. The subjects children learn are much the same as in other countries. In most schools History and Geography are taught as one subject, and Literature is taught in classes of English. Schoolchildren can learn one foreign language for 2 years (Spanish, German, or French). The American think that learning how to think independently and problem-solving skills is more important than learning facts. Today there is a strong emphasis on science, mathematics and foreign languages and the knowledge of other people and countries. Besides public schools there are private schools, which are very expensive, and religious schools, which are also fee- paying. About half of the young people today who finish secondary school go on to community colleges, which provide 2 years of higher education at minimal cost. State colleges and universities provide 4 years of higher education necessary to receive a bachelor’s degree, as well as additional education for a master’s degree. Fees are different in different states. Besides these, there are many private colleges and universities, which are more expensive than public institutions. Answer the questions:

1. Who is responsible for public education in the US? 2. At what age do American children go to school? 3. What are three schools, which comprise secondary education? 4. What subjects do schoolchildren learn? 5. What are the most popular foreign languages in the US? 6. What kinds of higher educational institutions are there in the US?
