Education system in force in Mexico, E.U.A and England

In Mexico:

The Mexican Constitution establishes that all citizens have the right to receive
education. The State is in charge of imparting the basic level, which is composed
of preschool, primary and secondary.

According to the law, this public education must be secular, compulsory, free and of
quality. There are also private schools, usually linked to the Catholic Church, which
can provide religious education but do not receive public funds.

The education system is regulated by the Ministry of Public Education and is

divided into three large blocks that we explain below.

Basic Education

It is free and mandatory for all Mexicans and consists of three levels.

Preschool education. There are three courses for children of 3, 4 and 5 years
whose aim is to boost their creativity and skills.

Primary education. It consists of six courses ranging from 6 to 12 years. It

focuses on literacy, basic calculus and learning elementary cultural concepts. At
the end of this level, a certificate is obtained that allows access to secondary
education. In some states it is possible to study in bilingual schools with a second
language as a foreign language or an indigenous language.

Secondary Education. They are three courses from 12 to 15 years in which the
student is trained to pursue higher education and expand their knowledge on
various subjects. Upon completion you also get a certificate that allows access to
the next level.

.
Higher education
This level, generally known as Baccalaureate or High School, is the last stage of
compulsory education. It is studied from 15 to 18 yearguts and is divided into six
semesters. There are three types of specialization:

General Bachillerato. Prepares students to continue with higher education. It

is a general formation with scientific, technical and humanistic contents.

Baccalaureate It is a technical training that allows graduates to jump to the

job market or study a technical career

Technical professional. It offers technical training in various specialties to

prepare students to hold various positions in the professional world.

In E.U.A:

In the United States, the exercise of government is fairly decentralized and control
of many public functions, such as school education, depends primarily on states
and local communities. They have retained control of the content of curricula and
educational methods; In fact, federal law prohibits the US government from
interfering in these areas. However, the federal government creates and
implements legislation related to education and has an impact on the
implementation of laws and regulations through state funds for public education.

Broadly speaking, we can say that the American educational system comprises 12
years or "grades" (from 1 to 12) of education prior to entry to higher education.
These are divided into three stages:

Elementary school. Five grades from 6 to 11 years

Middle school. Three grades from 12 to 14 years old
High school. Four grades from 14 to 18 years old

After completing grade 12, students can continue with higher education, which can
be vocational and / or technical (2 years), professional and university (4 years).
Some careers such as law or medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, etc ...
require postgraduate studies in professional faculties.

At universities (also called colleges) students can earn a bachelor's degree, and
students who earn it are considered undergraduates. Post-graduate studies are
masters, and students who do so are considered graduates. Then, you can also do
a PhD, which usually lasts three years or more and is based on the research and
presentation of a doctoral thesis (thesis) the result of research in a specific and
specialized area.

In England:
Primary education

He is from five to eleven and is taught in primary schools. It is divided into two
cycles (key stages) ranging from 5 to 7 and 7 to 11 years and basic subjects such
as English, mathematics, science, geography, history, physical education, music ...
In the government website you can Consult all the subjects and the contents of the
exams that must be surpassed at the end of each cycle.

From the age of two and a half to five you can go to nursery school but it is not
compulsory.

Secondary Education

It is the last stage of compulsory education and goes from 11 to 16 years of age. It
is taught in institutes and is divided into two cycles, ranging from 11 to 14 and from
14 to 16 years. The first cycle contains subjects such as math, English, science,
music ... that are common to all students.

In the second cycle students must choose about ten subjects (the amount depends
on the institute and the student's skills) to be examined at the end of high school.
Mathematics, science and English are compulsory; The rest can be geography,
history, languages, music, design and technology ... The examination at the end of
this period is called General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE).

You can find more detailed information about courses and exams on the
government website.

Complementary education

At this point, students who wish to continue studying have two ways. They can
choose between vocational qualifications or academic qualifications. In the
Universities & Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) website there is a guide to
consult the option that best suits your profile.

Vocational training offers practical education for those who want to start their
professional career in a trade. They are two years and the main titles that are
obtained are the BTECs (qualifications of the Council of Education in Business and
Technology) or the NVQs (technical qualifications of Professional Training). It is
studied in institutes, specialized schools and universities. The National Career
Service offers a comprehensive search engine for available courses.

Higher education
About one-third of young Brits choose to pursue some form of higher education.
This is divided into two levels: degree and postgraduate.

The main studies of degree are the undergraduate studies that grant the titles of
licensee, engineer or architect. Their duration varies between three and four years
(some centers have introduced accelerated programs that concentrate the
curricula in two years) and the title to which they give place is the one of Bachelor's
Degree. Grades are divided into Ordinary (minimum knowledge not achieved) and
Honors (sufficient grade has been obtained to approve). Honors can be first class,
second class or third class; Being the first class the best rating. For more
information on notes and their equivalence see this guide.
