It's no secret that the education systems in Russia and England are different.
To evaluate any education system, you need to study it in detail.
Schooling in England includes two modules:
Initial (PrimarySchool) - for children aged 4 to 11 years (up to 7 years - at the school for kids –NurserySchool, and from 7 to 11 years - at the junior school-JuniorSchool).
Secondary School - for children from 11 to 16 years old. Classes in elementary school are held in a very soft playful way without any attempts to fit everyone under one common level.
The final two years of English high school are a transitional link between high school and high school. Students are divided into departments. The traditional ones are humanitarian and naturally mathematical.
Those wishing to enter the university are offered a two-year course of A-levels. The certificate of graduation from vocational education institutions is recognized throughout the country by both employers and higher education institutions, and subsequently allows continuing studies at the university.
The following schools are distinguished in Russia:
Primary school is the first stage of general education in children. Getting elementary education, children acquire the first knowledge about the world, skills in communication and solving applied problems. At this stage, the personality of the child is formed and begins to develop, which emphasizes its importance for society and the state.
For five years, from the 5th to the 9th grade, students go to primary school. The main course of the secondary school provides basic knowledge in the main areas of science.
The last two years of study are the completion of secondary education. The main purpose of the senior classes in preparation for entering a university. Upon completion of training, students pass the Unified State Exam (USE). Completed the last stage of training receives a "Certificate of secondary education" - a document confirming the acquisition of knowledge in the amount of the state standard.
In Russia, vocational education is also considered secondary (specialized secondary), although abroad it may relate to higher education.
The British receive higher education in three types of universities: universities, university colleges and colleges of higher education.
With the introduction of the exam, the scheme of admission to universities in Russia has become closer to the British. In Russia, higher education primarily involves obtaining a specialty, and in England obtaining a scientific or doctoral degree.
As for technical specialities, as Russian students studying at British universities say, “the learning process is no different from ours: the same control, term papers, exams.” But "in Britain, the material and technical base is large, much larger than in Russia." “I do not agree with the young people scolding our education. We have a better technical education. It’s better to study in Russia and to study in British universities because there are the material and technical base. ”
